ABOUT THE RELEASE:
Peak Time – the second explosive EP off the Rock It Science Laboratories label – is not just a unique and well rounded package, it’s a state of mind. It’s that moment when the dance floor is reaching it’s energetic climax, the DJ has built up the vibe, and everyone is completely in sync with that amazing feeling that you only get when you are connected to that higher source, really feeling the vibration and losing track of time.
Native Intelligence, known for writing great lyrics and attaching them to pounding original tracks, has belted out a true dance floor classic with his first release on Rock It Science Laboratories. Immediately launching you into the outer space regions of his musical mind, Native takes you on a gliding journey where the key pads sparkle like stars and bass warps like galaxies spiralling. Up, up and away this incredible track brings you to the very place that it’s title states. Just when you wonder where not on earth you are in comes Native’s own pitch shifted voice rounding out the epic audio experience. “Pumpin’ Thumpin’… Bass got you Jumpin’, Grindin’ Unwindin’ ..Happiness you’re Findin’, Drippin’ Trippin’ DJ’s straight up Rippin’ cause it’s Peak Time baby got me dancin’ Crazy.” Coming at you like a beautiful beast, the massive wall of vibration modulates and rockets toward your center core like a heat seeking missile delivering an infinite explosive chill complete with intergalactic goosebumps.
Sunshine Jones, founding member of the pioneering Dubtribe Soundsystem and producer of classics such as Do It Now, Mother Earth, and many more brings in the light with his mature Extended Disco Remix creating a happier and joyous version of the intensely wobbling original. Thick original bass played by Sunshine is accompanied with his own backing vocals, hand claps and high hats. Warm and harmonious, this remix exudes nothing but love from one of SF’s most accomplished producers. This is an excellently executed remix great for setting a deep vibe in on the dance floor as Sunshine expertly builds a groove and rides it into the heavens. Fans of DFA and the new disco sound should definitely check this out.
DZ ravishes our ears on the other end of planet Peak Time. This man on fire with recent remixes on Fool’s Gold, Mad Decent, and many more as well a a slew of original works on his Badman Press label drops yet another dubstep ripper. Dramatic and wild, DZ combines the pitched down, effected vocals with Native’s natural voice creating a more raw feel. Departing from the legions of wobble tracks that are presently flooding speakers, DZ’s smooth and thick sub bass invades our bodies while the keys create a visual of alien space spiders crawling about. Just when you think the tone is set for a mellow groove, an anthemic and haunting synth line takes you out amongst the stars in an outer space hip hop scene gone wonderfully wrong. The remix has mad bass and sick sounds to create a state of emergency on the dance floor. Dubstep has never sounded so good.
Casey DC comes correct with his Purple Hills remix. Bouncy and thick, this mix is reminiscent of the Dirtybird sound we’ve come to know and love. Casey sets himself apart by the way he expertly constructs this hypnotic scorcher. The solar warmth emanating in his well chosen sounds clearly introduce in this remix the signs of what will surely be a star studded career. Dribbling space sounds and stretched vocals along with glitchy tweaks make this a great selection for those who love it minimal.
S.I.M.O. & Native Intelligence bring a fierce and darker version of Peak Time compared to the original. The remix starts off obnoxiously with almost every layer of the original dropping at the same time until a backspin calms the chaos as Native and S.I.M.O.’s voices invite us in letting us know this is no mistake, it’s Peak Time Remixed.
