Sounds Like
“Cosmic mud galactic sludge and experiments in dub metal soundscapes…”
-DJ Dean Satan
“Deep dark X-Trip-Dub. Dubbed to Death with little
of Jamaica.”
- Blue G, KZSU
“Imagine a radio telescope picking up a transmission of early Scorn, mid-period Laswell when he was slumbering and low-end funky, and Robert Fripp pretending to be a quasar.”
- Mark Teppo, Earpollution
“The atmospheres are expanded, dreamy, nightmarish, relaxing, epic, grand, ancient, gorgeous, chaos-friendly, rapturing and intense.”
- Marc Urselli-Schaerer, Chain D.L.K.
The San Francisco experimental band Zentropia travels through heavy stepping dub with frequent excursions to layers of gooey, melting ambient interludes and smatterings of drone and noise suites, classifying the listening experience as a full blown trip.
Guitarist and producer Mark Bray is known for pushing the limits of modern dub mixing, seemingly distorting the very fabric of space and time by stretching melodies with the mass of an interstellar black hole.
Bassist and percussionist Darcy Rowley brings things back down to earth with her stepping dub grooves. The subterranean sounds are capable of registering on seismic devices.
The duo has been unleashing their twisted deep space dub sounds upon unsuspecting ears for nearly ten years. Zentropia's music is a must have for serious sonic drifters or for anyone interested in losing track of their own existence.
£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Hugs from Brazil, Claudio David
