“Think Utah Jazz played with live instruments and incorporating a
London twist for good measure” - The Digital Fix
Double Drop have rapidly gained a reputation as one of the most
exciting new live electronic/bass music acts in London today.
Their ability to perform 100% live without the need for a backing track is
what has seen them quickly become a recognised and respected outfit.
Double Drop are a live band playing real instruments in real time to create a
real movement. They are 7 musicians who together write music you would
usually expect from a computer based producer. Their shows are a unique
experience, each track flowing seamlessly into the next as if they were the
slickest of DJ’s.
Featuring an array of European musicians, Double Drop have chosen
London as their playground to experiment and excite. Taking to the stage at
infamous London venues Cargo, Brixton Jamm, Hootananny and
Lovebox festival, supporting the likes of Submotion Orchestra and
Jazzsteppa so early into their career has firmly established them as an
enthralling live act.
2012 saw the release of their debut EP throughout which they effortlessly
combine their love and knowledge for hip-hop, jazz, dubstep and drum &
bass, with a collection of carefully sculpted sounds and samples to create
music not restricted by computers, but entirely organic. Produced to reflect
the intimate atmosphere experienced through their live shows, the Double
Drop EP invites the listener to journey through a landscape where pulsating
synths and tasteful delays meet live drums and acoustic pianos all the while
being gifted with mesmerizing vocals and emphatic inner city sax. The flips in
musical style throughout and subsequent shifts in energy make this EP
something of a musical time lapse.
This is live dance music captured all on one 4 track EP. Don't let it pass
you by.
