Interview with 1st SCIENCE + an exclusive EP from him on Strictly Nuskool Blog

GK: 1st Science. How's this name come from?

1st SC: I wanted a name related with science fiction, technology and futuristic stuff, but in a silly kind of way.
By chance, I saw a chemistry experiment toy kit for kids that was called 'First Science', so  I just took that name.


GK: Can you give us an insight about the Oldskool scene in Sweden and how you caught up with this music?

1st SC: There is no 'Oldskool scene' in Sweden. I have never met a person into Oldskool.
That makes me the indisputable King of Hardcore in Sweden until somebody proves I'm not..

Back in the '90s, The Prodigy, Baby D and rave stuff like that, was immensly popular and the radio stations played a lot of it. Then it went out of fashion and was quickly forgotten.
For me it was all about MTV Party Zone with Simone Angel. That was the best way to hear cool new dance music back then.

Me and my best friend also bought a lot of great rave compilations too, 'Kaos Theory' etc.


GK: How's the rave thing in your city over the last years and in general?

1st SC: Stockholm had its underground rave scene and it became commercially big in '95-'96. All media coverage about illegal warehouse parties, police raids and ecstasy drew a lot of attention and rave was hyped up. Everybody wanted to go to a rave. The police answered by forming a special force called 'the rave commission', which targeted all underground parties.
I guess they were a kind of pain in the ass for the organisers and ravers so the rave scene soon went underground again. 

Swedes are introvert and shy people and I think that's why dull, minimal Techno has always been big here. The cold and dark climate goes hand in hand with dark, boring, monotonous beats. We have great Techno producers and I suppose Techno clubs in the major cities are as much 'rave' as can we get.

GK: What influenced yourself to begin production and what inspires you writting a tune?

1st SC: I always liked dance music as a kid but it was a MIDI workshop in the music school, where I took keyboard lessons; that made it for me.
This was in '93 and music equipment was very expensive at the time but I got my first synthesizer, a Juno-2 and soon after I saved money to get an Atari ST. I swapped some CDs for a drummachine and a SL1200 for a synth module. It was a hassle but eventually I built a primitive little home studio and could record my first tunes. Really bad ones lol.

Early inspirations was practically anything in Techno, Acid House, Gabber and Hardcore Breaks. Just to program a 4/4 beat on a that horrible little Boss drum machine was pure magic.


Nowadays, I get most inspiration from sampling. I enjoy the creative side of it. The best thing about Breakbeat Hardcore is that you can pretty much throw in what you got and mix it and it sounds wicked and fun.

 


GK: What equipment are you using at the moment?

1st SC: At the moment I use an old E-mu ESI4000 sampler and sometimes not much else.

It has a different sound to the Akai S3000 I used to have and it is very quick to work on and suits my fast workflow. I got some old drum machines and synthesizers, Korg M1, two Roland Juno2s, Roland R8, Roland JV880, Yamaha TX81Z and some newer Arturia and Novation units.

My thumb of rule is to record the tune the same day you started working on it.


GK: You're one of the most appropriate to talk about Hardcore Breaks, since you're an old dog in the Nu-Rave scene. How do you see the scene at present? Is it in healthy condition?

1st SC: It's great to see that so many people I used to talk to on Hardcore forums 14-15 years ago are still going strong and put out new music. Back in 2004 when I made my first Breakbeat tunes, most producers were British.

Now there are producers from all parts of the world which is a good sign.

In 2019 we are drowning in bad information, bad news and bad music but I believe we got something substancial and strong here. Hardcore, don't sell out!

GK: How can you describe your new 5track work which goes on exclusive free download from our blog. Few bits about your EP on Strictly Nuskool Blog? How Tough Cookies are they then?

1st SC: The tracks on the latest EP were recorded in 2018. I guess they contain the usual 1st Science formula with samples from old Reggae, Hip Hop Breaks, arcade games, melodic synth lines and wailing soul vocals. I always keep telling myself to make something rougher and tougher but keep adding those mellow strings all over the place.


GK: Shouts out to anyone and any message you would like to send to all Nuskool fans?

1st SC: All DJs, producers, listeners, followers, Hardcore will never die!  All the best!

'Tough Cookies' is the name of 1st Science exclusive offering for the Strictly Nuskool Blog. The first and proud SNB release for this year.

As usual with every release via this Blog, you can download this one for free here

And please, show your support to this great producer.

Later that year, he hooked up with the Element Squad out of Cleveland and started playing all over the Midwest, in Detroit, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Grand Rapids. Being part of the Element Squad he played alongside some of the biggest Djs in the country. As the the music changed to Drum n Bass, he lost interest in the scene and walked away in 2001. In 2017 he began to play again and really got back into the roots of the sound ,strictly focusing on 93-95, style jungle. Drew is the Co-Founder of PPJ Recordings, an American Jungle label, pushing proper jungle to the masses. We have our first release coming out in March with the bad man Krave! 3 floor stomping bangers, representing the old sound. 002 Release is coming with 4 really, heavy bangers from Msymiakos.

Partner-in-crime, 'Exits Exist' brings up the rear to deliver a a furry of intricate, stepping breaks set to ominous bass drones and mentasmic, stab swells which generate an overpowering miasma of oppression... just the way we like it!!!! This one's not for the lightweights out there!!!

[WOC010] Conrad Subs - Back & Forth EP [Weapon Of Choice Recordings Digital Download Now Exclusively From Juno Download!!!]

2/ Response.

3/ Double Time.

4/ Ultimate.

"Pssst... You looking for some dirty, upfront drum & bass to sauce up your set?" Breaks and bassline filth merchants, Weapon Of Choice Recordings presents four brand new, future floorfillers with the release of Conrad Subs' 'Back & Forth EP'.  

Things get off to a hard and heavy start with moody title track, 'Back & Forth', which drops a succession of relentless 2-step breaks over a pulsating bassline, female vocal repetitions and razor-sharp, mid-range synth stabs. All the ingredients to make a surefire D&B anthem in the making. 
'Response' up next lures the listener into a false sense of security with it's use of ethereal, sci-fi pads on the intro, before unleashing a devastatingly hypnotic, industrial, bass drone and kick-snare combo.

Kicking off the second half we have the sinister rap meets neurofunk number 'Double Time' which delivers a heady blend of menacing, subsonic snarls interwoven into a precision crafted drum pattern, with added amen inserts and choice vocal snippets. 
Leading the EP to a rousing finish, Conrad drops an absolute bomb with 'Ultimate', which eschews the previous darker tingle of it's predecessors to create a real, hip-hop flavoured, bassline roller that is guaranteed to get all ravers on the floor whenever it's dropped. 

Whether you're seeking some deep and dark tech-step or an unashamed, upfront drum & bass banger to rattle your bassbins, Conrad Subs has got all bases covered with his latest release!!!

The Breakbeatscientist's top pick of the bunch... the sleek and sinister 'Response'.

Up next, Kinsugi's 'The Unexpected' interweaves Blessed's vox into an epic and grimy, dancehall ragga meets juke  infusion, incorporating massive 808 bass blasts and jittery, razor-sharp snare hits which leads into a lush guitar driven, ambient drone midsection to break up the pace.

If uncompromising, boundary pushing music is what you are seeking to vlow away the cobwebs of conformity, then you need look no further than 'Destroy Oh Boy Presents... Vol. 1'!!!

We set off to a hi-octane start with 'Corrupt Tempo' which hits us with a flurry of manic breaks, descending bass pulses and tension packed movie dialogue, accompanied by a generous dose of iconic mid-nineties D&B samplage to give all the 'Headz out there some major flashbacks.

Up next 'Faceless Terror' sets the mood with a series of uplifting, atmospheric pads set to razor sharp, 2-step drum-breaks before we are hit with a devastating cavernous, bass drop that'll be guaranteed to get the foundations shaking!!!
