Представляю вашему вниманию молодого человека под псевдонимом Roby Howler, имя которого уже набирает силу за границей, так как в нашей многострадальной России к новым стилям музыки интерес приходит в самый последний момент.
Будучи еще в пеленочном возрасте, Roby Howler (Настоящее имя Вадим Роменский) стал увлекаться музыкой во всех ее проявлениях. Огромную роль в становлении его собственного музыкального стиля сыграл старший брат.
Главным хобби Вадима в возрасте 13 лет было то, что он слушал еженедельные аудиочарты от PeteTong(UK), GRAD(Rus), Kolya(Rus) и Den(Rus), которые записывал на аудиокассеты и в последствии бесконечно переслушивал.
С течением времени Roby Howler стал серьезно задумываться о написании собственной музыки. Впервые он попробовал сделать это в 15 лет, когда начал экспериментировать и изучать программу Fruity Loops. Но окончательно не определившись с концепцией будущих треков, его задумки так и не были воплощены в жизнь
В начале 2009 года, после знакомства с популярным онлайн радио Великобритании BBC Radio 1, резко меняется представления о музыке и о стилях в целом. Тяжелый Woble саунд, монотонный Tech House, африканские минималистические ритмы стали основной идеей и целью для дальнейшего творчества музыканта.
В середине 2009 года, летом, Roby Howler возобновляет попытки написания музыки. В это время он освоил множество программ, но окончательно его выбор пал на Ableton Live, который стал основной платформой для его будущего творчества.
Начало осени 2009 года было ознаменовано завершением первых двух оригинальных треков: Basemant и Darling, которые прозвучали на RadioFrequency(UK) и был подписан контракт с Английским лейблом "Nu Style Records". Так же Вадим получил поддержку от: Wongo, Tom EQ, Kyle Watson, Jeff Doebleu. Параллельно музыкант получает заказ на изготовление ремикса на американского популярного рэп продюсера Alias от лэйбла "Crux Da House". К его Российским успехам можно отнести соглашение о совместной работе с StereoNoize ( г.Тюмень ) о создании креативного видео ряда с музыкой от Roby Howler. Движущей силой музыканта является массовая популяризация новых стилей музыки в России.
Here is some nice stuff from Mexico guy - Crimen from Leon city. It is a poverfull collaboration of dubstep and techno on "War" track, and acid and techno in "Bass and Diamons" track!! Style of this man is not typical, i like the formation of his track and think you need to listem his music!)))
Недавно получил электронное письмо из Мексики, он забавного парня по имени Джо Орозко (Joe Orozco) под всевдонимом Crimen, музыкак которого мне очень понравилась, этакое смешение дабстепа техно и эйсид хаус музыки. Посторение треков довольно интересно, поэтому я считаю что на этого парня стоит обратить внимание!
Here is some Funny stuff for you from my friend Dmitry, from Rybinsk (Russia). He started his experiments in music production and Dj'ing in 2006. At first he only love Progressive House and Electro House. And after this scene he heard gurgling sounds of Fidget, and since then he began to work in this style of music. Listened to such people as Stupid Fresh, Kyle Watson and Tom Eq has even more become interested in this style, most of his music is influenced by Croockers, and also by the town he are living in.
As for his style, this is bouncing elecrto-house basses with collaborate with fidgety beats.... So as for me this is very funny music for alcodance))))
This ia an amizing dubstep track with jungle influence! All G:Mt fans will be enjoy it! Name of the track, in my opinion is not good, because for me feelings from track are like life in Stratosphere, but who knows, maybe this Finnish duo really were in stratosphere, and really died there in their dreams, and after this they produced such a beautiful track...!
"Death in The Stratosphere" или на русский - смерть в стратосфере. Это безумно глубокий трек. Для всех фанатов фильма "время по гринвичу", он придётся по вкусу, но лично я не согласен с названием трека, так как я вижу данную музыку отображением жизни в стратосфере, но никак не смертью. Но кто знает, может этот Финский дуэт действительно был в стратосфере, и действительно там погибал в своих великих путешествиях, и после этих приключений они и написали этот трек... Всё Может быть!
