AUS 121EP
|
Aus Music welcome Allen Wooton, aka Deadboy, for his debut release on the label with Auogeides 77. Wooton's bold, rugged club music has really reached its zenith in recent years following key releases on Local Action (LOC 011CD/LP, 2017) and Numbers, Auogeides 77 is no different. Rough analog drums, broody melodies, and a smidgen of his famous UK flavor.

LP version. Earth Body is the long-awaited debut album by Deadboy -- one of UK underground music's most influential and respected artists. His early singles U Cheated (2009) and If U Want Me (2010) predicted an entire generation of post-dubstep dance music, bringing much-needed r&b, house, and dancehall influences to a landscape dominated by grime and dubstep, helping to pave the way for a new age of UK club music. After developing his unique attitude to the club across longer EPs like Here (2011) and Blaquewerk (2013), 2015 saw Deadboy usher in a new phase of his career with his deepest record to date, White Magick (LOCWHITE 006EP), which saw elements of new age, meditational, and ambient music. Earth Body is not only Deadboy's first album, but the first time his own vocals have been front-and-center of his music rather than simply sampled. Although this is clearly an album by someone who's done their time in the clubs -- as evidenced by the clattering drums of "Caballero", for instance -- it's ultimately a pop record, inspired by Deadboy's long-standing love of Scott Walker, Sade, Drake, and the Beach Boys, and filled with bold choruses and multi-tracked harmonies.

Deadboy is an innovator. White Magick (2015), his first EP for Local Action, marked Deadboy's largest record to date -- six tracks as driven by atmosphere as by drum patterns, but never losing the melodies and hooks that continue to set Deadboy apart from his peers. He now follows that release with Black Magick, a vinyl-only EP with extended, club-focused edits of three of White Magick's songs, as well as a VIP mix of "It Did Not Feel Right," previously released on Crazylegs.
