[ARR069] Exit Point - Age Of Aquarius EP [Forthcoming From Allowance Records 05/02/16]


1/ Age Of Aquarius.
2/ Ladies & Gentlemen.
3/ Listen.
4/ Peace In Dub.
5/ Rise Of The G-Funk.
6/ These Sounds.

We may still be in the depths of Winter but Exit Point and Allowance Records bring to you a solid collection of Summery, liquid drum & bass and chilled downtempo breaks to bring a little sunshine into your life with the forthcoming 'Age Of  Aquarius EP'.

Opening to the sounds of a languid double-bassline and trumpet flourishes, the EP's title track, 'Age Of Aquarius' then introduces lush atmospheric pad notes and stepping, organic breaks to the mix alongside massive bass throbs and African chants to great effect. 
We are taken deep into the depths of a smokey, blues bar for some jazz-tinged drum and bass next with the smooth grooves of 'Ladies & Gentlemen' before the rolling, breakbeat percussion and infectious synth melodies of 'Listen' takes us on another cinematic jazz & bass excursion to make even the E-Z Rollers jealous.

The tempo drops a few notches for the downtempo dub and breaks of 'Peace In Dub', which introduces phat bass backed by ten-tonne, layered breaks and skankin' reggae rhythms. The pace picks up once more with the amen break backed 'Rise Of The G-Funk', which utilises that infamous G-Funk, sinewave synth melody over one hell of a funkadelic groove. 'These Sounds' closes the EP by giving us a deceptively brooding intro before presenting us with a bouncy, upbeat bassline and disco-horns to bring a touch of light to combat the aforementioned moodiness.

Altogether Exit Point delivers six upbeat liquid/downtempo tracks with a huge focus on 'live' breakbeat percussion and jazz-funk grooves with the 'Age Of Aquarius EP'. So if you're needing some music to beat those Winter blues, then look no further!!!
