Various Artists: Changes In State LP //

Omni Music’s latest venture presents a collection of eclectic drum and bass and electronica featuring a host of up and coming artists that take the listener on an eclectic journey through experimental drum and bass and IDM, with diversions into jazz grooves and blistering amens. This LP visits ambient realms, dark future soundscapes and everywhere inbetween.

The album opens with the ambient beauty from Shebuzzz, before delving into a dark drum workout from Wilsh and Physikal and an amen tearout from Neil S. Although the compilation generally explores deep experimental territory from the likes of Jiva, with his IDM inspired rhythms and mono_sono’s distinctive and original take on the dnb vision, it also ventures into the funky grooves from Noble Sense, the atmospheric oldskool-esque journeys by Phasix and Maff and the jazz-inspired groove by Enjoy. Each of these artists will certainly be ones to look out for in future.
