| Neutrino is the Tokyo based jazzy groove duo of Atsuhiro Murakami and Dj Kuro. They have been hosting abstract beat events in Japan since ‘96 and have been featured with performers such as Michiharu Shimoda (Silent Poets), Takayuki Shiraishi (R&S), Dollop (Swim), DJ Force, DJ Denca & Itaru, Oxigen Funk cru, Kizeno-hito cru and Junglegym. Never ones to clutter their work, Neutrino relies on their patented phat and minimal sound to deliver moody hip-hop instrumentals influenced by the styles of Shadow, Krush, and Vadim. Their production’s understated beauty has the ability to change the mood of a room; their melodies embed in your brain. Neutrino delivers the perfect blend of abstract and accessible. Neutrino’s self titled album is exactly what you would expect from this ferociously persice duo of ingenious production. It’s the album you listen too on a Sunday morning while drinking your coffee by yourself and provoking those relaxingly good memories from a few years back. While you listen to this album you’ll pick up on a pretty broad range of influences, probably the most notable of which is the use of the atmospheric Drum & Bass style of the late 90’s. While it’s certainly nothing new to put together melodies with such obvious influences of J Majik, Photek, and Sci-Clone, it is new to do it this well. Blending that style with Neutrino’s own jazzy - downbeat - hip-hop style is a truly amazing experience and this album album will undoubtedly be one of your more played. - Superill |
