Gutterfunk is a new imprint from Bristol based dnb legend DJ Die. Created to host a multitude of artists from different music backgrounds releasing tracks that defy genre confines allowing for innovation and experimentation. The label will be a new voice in this exciting time where it is impossible to define electronic music simply by genre conventions; acting as a platform for Bristol seemingly endless stream of new talent we can expect great things from Gutterfunk.
Mensah breaks out of his mold with this one expressing the ethos of innovation behind the Gutterfunk label. "Resistance" has a definite nostalgic vibe, circa 1980 electro to be precise. Mensah has been hard at work on this track, composing within a contemporary bpm whilst delivering bass-line funk and synth melodies synonymous with 80's electro.
Dj First Aid & Pulsar bring a completely different sound to the record. First explores his range in "Bombaclat" expanding on his genre specific association with UK Hip-hop (collaborations with the likes of Buggsy). Pulsar appears to be responsible for the vision behind this track, similarities can be drawn between "Bombaclat" and his solo track "Dredstep"; though "Bombaclat" sounds more stripped down and true to its Dub influences. "Bombaclat" is a Dubstep track inspired by Dub, the track has a gritty, imperfect, analogue quality; providing something fresh whilst owing its creation to vintage production techniques.
