We're losing track of how many of our blog posts have started with the words “ we are proud to have...” and the reason for this is that there are few other words available when letting y'all know about the amazing artists we have the good fortune to represent. Well, we now have new reason for our pride, as we have been given the honour or bringing Trifonic over to Europe from the States for their debut European tour this summer!
Trifonic first made waves back in 2008 with their debut full length release, Emergence. It's blend of styles, sonic tapestries, thoughtful production and real instrumentation brought electronica up to date and filled the void left wide open since the Warp Records' heyday.
The 2012 follow up, Ninth Wave is, if anything, an even stronger record and displays a greater maturity in the composition and production. This is hardly surprising when you consider that in the 4 year gap between albums, Trifonic built up their reputation as production masters by a series of never ending blog posts, giving away all manner of productions tips and secrets and worked on the soundtracks to a multitude of games, including the very successful Assassins Creed and Halo series.
Ninth Wave is what convinced us we had to get them over to European shores. If you haven't heard it yet, the full album is available to preview on their Soundcloud page.
As if bringing Trifonic over to Europe wasn't exciting enough, we have also been fortunate enough to secure Ad Noiseam favourites Hecq and Underhill as main support options for this tour. Ad Noiseam is undoubtedly one of our favourite labels and the majority of our roster has released on it at some point in their career. Adding Hecq and Underhill to the roster for this tour just seemed like the most natural thing in the world.
If you haven't heard the Hecq remix of Trifonic's Baalbek yet, then you need to re-address your priorities in life! Have a listen now, it's incredible...
Underhill is perhaps one of the first supergroups of the modern dub infused electronica sound, of which we at MethLab are no strangers. The group comprises of Dean Rodell, Current Value and Cooh, who are already known to you from the MethLab roster. They are also joined by Mc Coppa and Martina Astener and on occasion by Nick and James from Senser.
Their debut album “Silent Siren” was released in 2012 on Ad Noiseam records to rave reviews. It's fusion of dub, trip hop, drum & bass and lush soundscapes makes it one of those records that gets more beautiful with every listen.
You can watch the official video of their Hiding The Light track here...
