What: “Genealogy of a humble BeatMeister” by deef
Netlabel: rec72
Talk about straightforward labeling. There is not too much mystery as to what you get with this release from deef. That doesn’t mean it’s not interesting, though.
“Genealogy of a humble BeatMeister ” is full of tracks with titles like “vintage chillbeat anno 2010 and deconstruction” and “this classic in the face beat anno 2010.” And you know what? The titles pretty much tell you what you are going to get. But don’t let the simple descriptions fool you. This is chock full o’ chill beats and cool production. The music is somewhat minimalist; there are lots of sounds and samples added throughout but deef doesn’t cram too much into these tracks at any one time. He selects carefully and embellishes where needed. Late night – headphones – go!
deef hails from Vienna, Austria, and this is his fifth release for rec72. These tracks were apparently created over the last five years. It’s all explained at the site, and there’s even a cute cat story as a bonus.
rec72 is a netlabel based in Cologne, Germany and has been online since 2007. They say: “We deliver Electronica – IDM, Breaks and Downtempo and visuals, too!” On that last note you can find a clip for one of the deef tracks from this release, along with other videos.
