Future Samba VIP / Compa Remix
RELEASED June 10th, 2013.
TUBA announces their next 12” vinyl release.
Prism’s A-side begins dark and cold as ancient prison stone, motionless save an automated string sample ebbing in waves. The breakdown is characteristically spare and ethereal with a few pounding heartbeats. Suddenly, in a moment of true eloquence, Prism turns on both the lights and heat simultaneously, filling the sonic space with a gorgeous quasi-drop. Dynamic and versatile, it plays out as a spectrum from cold and dark to warm and generative—exactly like a sunrise.
On the B-side Compa’s remix is foreboding as a creepy stranger’s warning and as dark as a spell cast by a dark, latent entity. Congas add a mystical and organic element and slight drum fills float alongside slow, even pacing. The tune concludes with deeply distorted underlying strings, reminiscent of long, gunmetal-grey gutters. A shadowy track all the way through.

PRISM
Boston-based producer Prism (Dave Hanson) has been gaining a lot of notoriety lately. His release on Chef‟s Sub Freq Recordings has gotten played by Skream on BBC Radio 1 and “Two Hearts‟ was awarded “Best Dubstep Tune of the Month” in Mixmag. Gaining support and praise from dubstep veterans Joe Nice, Mala, Om Unit, Von D and Quest along with a nationwide run of shows this summer, Prism isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
COMPA
“With a sound that is perpetually nostalgic, yet equally refreshing, Compa’s music displays a binary relationship between ‘Foundation Sound’ homage and Forward-Motion thought. Spacious textures, heavily built sub-frequencies and intricate execution of minimalism are but a few significant ways in which his music can be described.”
TUBA is an artist-run vinyl imprint based in Brooklyn, specializing in forward-thinking bass. TUBA pushes new releases from the finest producers on the contemporary bass music scene.
