ARCHNEMESIS with UP UNTIL NOW featuring DAVID MURPHY of STS9
This Friday night! 1320 Records will be in the house at Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom (Denver, CO) with David Murphy of STS9 joining Up Until Now, and Archnemesis closes the night out!
Formed as a musical brain child of Justin Aubuchon and Curt Heiny, 1320 Records artist Archnemesis roots its sound in the self-coined term “ Intelligent Electro-Crunk”. Keeping to the true definition of the word, the musical “ villain” of Archnemesis incorporates samples that range from timeless to modern day. By doing this, a sound is created that makes every night a unique musical experience.
Up Until Now (1320 Records) comes from a collective past involved in bands with genres of reggae, world beat, rock, hip hop, funk, electro-pop, NIN industrialism and even heavy metal. Distilling this pure essence in music that has always driven them, and channeling it into electronic dance music is the goal. When you get talent of this type with huge broad experience, and have them focus it into one vision, you best believe that it burns like a laser. Come on down!

These Days
Review by Russ Bledsoe
Athens/Atlanta-based psychedelic reggae outfit DubConscious’ latest EP These Days finds the band stretching their legs sonically and showing real prowess in the studio. While still rooted in their tried-and-true dub sound, the ensemble has really embraced the idea of forwarding the Riddim by including various influences; from Alpha’s afrocuban dubtech trance-out (is that a thing? I think they just invented it), to the dreamy psychedelia of Home and the pure rootsy goodness of title track These Days. Recorded at Dreamlab Studios in Athens and Piper Street Sound in Atlanta, and featuring several contributions from guitarist James Keene and bassist/engineer Matt Mansfield, the group has largely forgone vocal content this time around, though what’s there is Adrian Zelski’s perennial politico-conscious eloquence. Instead they focused on powerful arrangement, opening up and exploring the material through electronic manipulation, applying f/x, and solo home-recording sessions. The result is a lush, moody, decidedly electronic feeling album that, while preserving its roots in Dub, doesn’t shy from forays into soundscape territory. There is pointed, tasteful use of some intriguing samples, and the occasional swerve into full-on IDM. Upcoming multi-volume companion remix release These Dubs will feature further dubnificence and reworking from various wizards such as Chancha Via Circuito and IMMUZIKATION and is to be eagerly expected.
Tracks to look out for: While they’re all pretty strong, Burning Sage, better than any other track, rides that edge between Dub and Electronic, between Roots and Psychedelia. Like all brilliant instrumental music, it paints so specific a scene that it conveys an unmistakable emotional response imparted by the auteur. That’s the kind of music that makes your hair stand up.

DubConscious is pleased to announce the release of ‘These Days EP‘, our first record in three years out on 1320 Records Tuesday Feb 14th. This 8 track EP is eclectic and dreamy. Musically it revolves around DubC’s regular mix of Dub, Reggae, Psychedelia and international sounds but includes more influence from electronic music than before. Piper Street Sound’s swirling heady brew of live Dub FX and signature production style marks this work as unique in the DubConscious catalog.
