Duoscience At Juno Download

Review: Duoscience step forward with some laid back, liquid lushness on Celsius with ticking breaks, chilled out atmospherics and delicate SFX a-plenty in the Company EP. First up is the narrative of "Your Company" with its familiar pouring-a-cup-of-tea sample, lilting, hypnotic rhythms and rolling loveliness. Up next is "Sooner Or Later" with its tide-rolling atmospherics and warping woodblock beats cutting a harsh pattern in the soundscape. Tweeting, chirping SFX twinkle in the background, with chiming piano keys and a murmuring b-line.

Review: More lilting liquid loveliness from the ever-dependable Fokuz imprint, this time from Duoscience. "Sunday" gets this seven-track EP off to a lovely start, with charming vocal and twinkling melodies; "Brighter" is all warm bass and sultry contemplative glow, whilst "Super Star" is a punchier number. "That Is So" adds some quirky glitch to the proceedings, "ABC" pairs troubled piano keys with shuffling breaks and "Category" adds buckets of soul. Concluding cut "Mona Lisa" is every inch the beauty invoked in the title with seductive guitar chords and blissed out atmospherics. Lush.

Review: Well Fokuz aren't missing a trick this month. Just a week - one week! - after Flame & Paperclip's EP on Fokuz Limited, they deliver this shimmering soul shakedown from Brazilian man-about-town Duoscience. Teasing us with three cuts from his forthcoming album, this whole EP screams for sunshine and shaking booties as Duo irons out crisp grooves with Latino panache. Intriguingly, it's the final B-side flavour that cries for the most attention - a free jazz, lounge lizard of a remix, it shows Duo's skills at their most musically versatile. More than just your average banger machine...

Review: A luscious four-track EP on Liquid Drumz from Duoscience. Aptly named, "Future Music Brasil" is all liquid vibes, strumming guitars, sunshine drenched atmospherics and feel-good synths with the odd vocal here and there. "Commitment" is a gorgeous Marky & S.P.Y style effort with buckets of Brazilian goodness, while the harp flourishes and delicate piano keys in "Line Of Time" add a delightful dreaminess to the proceedings. "Move" develops from spaced out intro into a percussive roller and concluding "Lambor" is a brilliant exercise in melancholy, with bittersweet keys and crisp, crunchy breaks and a lilting loveliness driving it along.

Review: Wonderfully smooth stuff as usual here from Duoscience, who drop the Saraiva EP on Soul Deep. The cooing title track kicks off proceedings, with gently humming bass, jazzy keys, bewitching hats and even occasional bursts of smoky sax. Up next, "Just For Today" is better still, with Latin keys and strings working off some killer drum programming that is tough and stripped back yet snug at the same time. Two more killers - "Go Back" and "Defining The Note" - round off an essential release.

Review: With tracks and releases under his belt on Fokuz, Soul Deep and Luv Disaster - mostly during a super-productive 2012 - Brazilian basshead Duoscience is beginning to make something of a name for himself. This latest two-track missive is typical of his take on drum and bass. His cuts are rarely less than sunny, soul-flecked and surprisingly deep, and that's certainly the case here. Opener "Thanks" is particularly good, offering a smooth combination of South American breaks, warm chords and bluesy jazz horns. "Think", meanwhile, has a more rigid snappiness - all hypnotic bleep melodies, intricate percussion programming and laidback atmospherics

Review: Duoscience follows in the steps of London Elektricity and Roni Size, paying homage to D&B's heritage with his charming Wave Jazz EP on Stepping Forward. "Consequence" brings chiming piano keys and smoky Gil Scott Heron vocals into the 21st century, with pounding drums and rolling basslines. Then the sultry sounds of "Moments of Reflection" take over with lilting melodies, hissing breaks, woodblock beats and strumming guitar strings plus the occasional harp flourish. Title track "Wave Jazz" is a shimmying, hip-shaking number with oodles of soul, and "Maybe", the concluding track of the EP strips things back, with moody piano keys and crisp breaks. Lovely stuff.
