The name Marcus Tee is usually synonymous with the drum and bass genre, with the Nottingham based producer's music featured on established D&B labels including the likes of Liquid V, Deconstructed Recordings, Red Alfa Records, Liquid Boppers, and Soul Deep to name but a few. With the 'Atomic Therapy II' EP, Marcus takes us on an epic journey spanning everything from deep, bass heavy techno to sleek and sophisticated UK Garage.
We are first introduced to the deep and atmospheric sounds of 'Cold Fusion', an immersive slice of laid back techno, propelled by snappy snares, monolithic bass swells and warm, emotive pads which add welcome touch of soul to the mix.
'Critical Mass' winds back the BPM a few notches and introduces the listener to a rich tapestry of down-tempo flavours, with it's enveloping, subsonic dub bassline meshing with Indian females vocal elements and contemplative, trip-hop melodies.
From the ghostly opening vocal fragments which open 'Geiger Counter' we are soon presented with an ever evolving piece of electronica, tinged with a touch of melancholia, expertly utilising Autechre style, glitched percussive elements and Burial-esque sound textures.
Marcus Tee rounds off the quartet in true UK Garage style, with the uplifting and soulful 'Heavy Water', which layers skipping 2-step breaks and deep bass notes over reverberating male vocal refrains and pensive synth pattern.
The 'Atomic Therapy II' EP shows Marcus flexing his production and flair for experimentalism, whilst never sacrificing musicality in the process. If you are seeking new and challenging sounds, then this collection comes highly recommended!!!
