GRAM Agency Introduces - [PHACE]

GRAM Agency is very proud to announce its newest arrival, Phace. The German duo have been producing some of the scenes funkest beats for the past few years featuring on a whole host of labels from Bulletproof's Cyanide imprint to Lifted, Subtitles, Virus and Hardware. If you do not already know these production legends, read on!


[BIO]

Firmly at the forefront of deep and funky Drum & Bass evolution - PHACE: After years of dedication, Phace have successfully developed a unique sound, and by doing so, have grown to one of Germany's No.1 Drum & Bass artists to storm the international scenes. Phace is a very own definition of cutting-edge music, it is all about pushing the limits, sonically. With releases on the World's respected and established labels such as Subtitles Music, Virus Recordings, Renegade Hardware, Cyanide Recordings, Shadow Law and so on, their music is in fact a style that is hard to pin down by merely ordinary words. In 2008 they finally launched their own label NEOSIGNAL in a joint venture with their longtime friend Misanthrop and so the bar is raised higher again. Handled as one of the scenes freshest acts you have to experience it to understand...


The exploration of the mind should never be taken lightly. Laying it bear is perilous to the explorer, as in its nudity it often reveals cognitive trails capable of instantly inducing psychosis.
Meanwhile an audience of anyone brave enough to donate their (in)sanity in a consumable and concrete artistic form must ensure its complete awareness of the fragility of its own mental state, as self assessment will consequently ensue. Individuals most frequently examine themselves when confronted by their own reflection, and it becomes the point of departure for an introspective trail of thought.

The first subconscious impact is the eternal sadness of the eyes, as the mind realises its inability to garner anything more than infinite reflections of light in the instant of superficial impact, for the soul rests not in the eyes, but in the mind that searches it. As, quite simply, the most superficial of bodily aspects – the face – is once again encountered, the mind readjusts itself on its voyage of introspection to gloss over that which is most obvious in order to attempt to perceive an ounce of tangibility within the abstractions of the inner mind; a voyage which is often defeated by the fear of the truth. This does not mean that an encounter with the elusive phantom that lies beneath the visage cannot be achieved, for if consciousness can defeat the mind killer, it shall arrive prepared to face its phantom, that which is underneath, its subconscious…its PHACE.




As a trail of thought ends, so begins a trail of life: the musical journey of the Drum & Bass production outfit known as Phace. Hailing from the capital of the land on the Western border of Germany through which the Saar River flows, the psyches of Nicolas Ruoff and Florian Harres bizarrely merged by means of the little understood phenomenon of neurofusion whilst partying to the music of Drum & Bass *******s such as Ed Rush & Optical, Photek, Konflict, Matrix and Teebee to form the unified brain behind Phace’s musical reality. This reality – influenced by the duo’s roots in Rock and early nineties Electronic and Dance music, and affected by the industrial perfectionism of German culture – is not only an evolution via modern digital technology of the analogue, deep and funky sound of the late nineties. It is an individual and new to the world creation and interpretation of feelings which is initially cold on contact, devout of all vestiges of colour, clinical in execution, with merely superficial twitches of mania to hint at what may be hidden beneath. As you continue to familiarize yourself with this new strain, its outer texture increases and you begin to perceive its intricate surface detail. Phace’s strain of music is neither just a niche or underground sound, nor is it commercial or stereotype dance music. It is a classic borderline case: it straddles the conscious and subconscious, presenting itself as a frank and introspective analysis of the mind through sound.
