Don't Be Afraid

Born out of a vibrant London scene thanks to the early sounds by Semtek, Mr Beatnick and MGUN, Don’t Be Afraid has continually embraced a unique blend of artists, genres and styles. Establishing itself as an adventurous outlet - and parent to a slew of conceptual sub labels - Don’t Be Afraid’s natural evolution should be an example to all independent labels. Hooking up with the likes of Karen Gwyer, Rroxymore and Ikonika to Brassfoot, Neville Watson and Herva over the years, you’ll also find intriguing projects like DJ Bone’s Differ-Ent alias, the new school Birmingham sounds of Jayson Wynters to the evanescent house music of Achim Maerz.

Review: Now, Damon Bell is an interesting signing, indeed. This is especially true for this latest EP on Bristol's Don't Be Afraid, both because he acts as an interesting and refreshing addition to the label's catalogue, but also because he has pretty much only released on Deepblak until now. "Ankh Boogie" is everything you'd expect from Damon Bell: a kinetic, dusty percussion that has been processed significantly, and an airy collection of circulating atmospherics. "Aural Afrek" is deeper, more mysterious and techno-minded, while "Time For Change" breaks out the dubbiness and goes for a Basic Channel kind of approach that is layered smoothly over a more delicate house framework. Effective and impressive - shouts to Semtek.
