phace - the next master of the "vintage" virus sound?

[darkenetiks]

i think so :yes:.

i don't think he's biting at all, the sound he's making is *like* old virus...but with a twist that i had been hoping somebody would one day try to pull off.

his subtitles EP (now on promo) is ridiculous. it's been a while since i haven't been able to pick a "stand out" track off of an EP from 1 producer.

Phace - Now!
Phace - Vitamin P
Phace - Species
Phace (ft. Noisia + Mayhem) - Oceans of Emptiness

minimal sounds, but effective as fuck.

i love phace. hes definitely one of the next big neuro dudes to hit it big

ps oceans of emptiness is Noisia,Mayhem+Phace

im undecided on this one.

generally speaking, i love phace and already own some tunes and all that.. but i think this ep is kind of disappointing me. the only thing i really feel off it is oceans of emptiness (which was done by a number of other people with phace, i dont know why theyre not getting credited anywhere).

im reserving judgment though. these are the kind of tunes you need to hear on a rig before you really have an idea what they're all about.

whether or not i think the ep is solid though, i totally love what phace is doing regardless, and expect to hear a lot of great shit out of him.

i'll buy it.

[darkenetiks]

so THAT'S why i can hear the sounds mayhem uses in every tune he's ever done (in 'oceans of emptiness').

like, duh.

"hot rock" (liam posted it recently) screams virus. HOT. ROCK.

"hot rock" (liam posted it recently) screams virus. HOT. ROCK.

yeah now see hot rock i'm totally all about. that tune is a bit more aggro though, while still retaining the neuro grooviness.

you love my technical terms.

[darkenetiks]

always uber descriptive, that liam.

PHACE THE PHUNK.

whoops

Not to say it's bad per se, but why would I play Vitamin P when I could play Kridan? If these tunes had come out five to seven years ago, they'd probably be classic, but they just strike me as incredibly derivative. I guess if you got into dnb recently and don't own old Virus and the like, these would be more appealing, but I couldn't justify picking these up.

i partially agree, but phace is a relatively new producer & if they're producing stuff like this now...one can only imagine what they'll sound like as they get more releases under their belt.

i'm just happy to see stuff like this (and even the new hardware tunes from teebee & prolix etc) is surfacing again.
