The Unheard, Manchester-based producer and DJ extraordinaire, is doing everything in his power to make himself heard, bringing to life forgotten sounds into crazy sonic tapestries. His Switchflicker debut Sound Proof Volume One is a 4 track EP, put out on 7 vinyl in limited numbers to keep it bubbling under, reflecting the labels experimental style to the full.
Melomiander presents a lazy, hip-hop groove for the A sides beginning. Its mellow flavour meanders towards the Jazzy Belly Ride, where The Unheard infuses scratching to his mix of melodies and sounds. El-Skit is a totally unpredictable ending, with different beats surprising us at every corner. Over the course of the EP The Unheard blends samples from all walks of life - from elephants to even a quick appearance from Rolf Harris
Flip over and we have The Complete Sweet. The Unheard lays down a strong beat creating an amazingly, funky instrumental track. It takes you on a journey of lost gems and broken beats that transform before us without the slightest warning.
Once weve been lured into his unique sound world, theres no way of knowing where were being taken next
