Furlonge - All You Ever Knew / Reach Out [Viper]

Next Viper single coming from Furlonge. Info and clips below.



Furlonge
1. All You Ever Knew (feat. Franklyn Gaye)
2. Reach Out (feat. Katie Alley)
Viper Recordings [VPR038]
Full Release: 12th Sept. 2011



Straight from the off, this track hits home with a cannon of original standout sounds. Kicking off with a rhythmic bongo loop and group hand claps alongside 80’s pop synth’s, this lays the foundation for the incredible vocal, which layered over the opening production sounds some way between gospel and soulful reggae. Once again (and due to Furlonge’s track record this is no surprise) the vocal is an instantly memorable, smile-inducing classic. At the drop, the> track rolls out with robotic future dub electro bass and bleeps, sounds snaking around the rhythm track as the vocal reverbs in and out. With this track, its fair to say that Furlonge has deconstructed the essence of dubstep, intertwining his own retro / future influences until the final record sounds like nothing else around today. Some will love the pop nature of some of the production; others will sing along to iconic vocal and bounce to the warmth of the bass. Everyone will smile. A boundary pushing pop bass masterpiece.



No mere B-side, ‘Reach Out’ takes Furlonge back into DnB territory, and once again the vocal is nothing short of mesmeric. Kicking off, the beats hit straight from the top, snap tight drums alongside a descending, off beat, almost accordion style synth, joined by the hook laden ethereal vocal. At the drop the track explodes into action with repeated dubby bass stabs underlying acidic and robo synths and the rejoining of the angelic vocal. Don’t be lulled by the delicate topline, this track is a club smasher, the juxtaposition of the pummeling bass and the melody will leave no stone unturned in its task of making feet more on the floor. With Furlonge’s releases, there is never any filler, and this is another A-list bomb.

Not the biggest fan of either of those tracks... This Love by Furlonge is amazing though!
