We've obtained directly from the label five past 7-inch releases on Twilight Tone, the imprint run by hacchi of Urban Volcano Sounds, where his sampling-collage musical sensibility goes off like a bomb. Side A, "Rootless Cosmopolitan," crosses a racing, upbeat ska rhythm with Turkish female choruses and riffs, unfolding as one exotic sample after another comes into play. Side B, "Step Across The Border," is a scorching Latin breakbeat led by flamenco guitar — check it out!!! Released in 2012. The label's second release.
Revisiting these five 7-inches, released back-to-back on his own Twilight Tones label around 2012–2014, offers a wonderfully rich way to trace how Deavid Soul — the grown-up, colorful breakbeat duo with their dizzying arrangements — gradually evolved, in both sound and concept, toward the UVS debut album "blue hours." Side A, "Rootless Cosmopolitan" (sample 1), unfolds as colorful, exotic samples pop up one after another in uniquely funky fashion; Side B, "Step Across The Border" (sample 2), is a scorching Latin breakbeat led by flamenco guitar — enjoy!!! Truly a step across the border: leaping over the boundaries of nationality, genre, beat and groove, with meticulously crafted humor and idea development in the Perry & Kingsley tradition, it showcases Deavid Soul's signature pop collage sense as the work of a true craftsman.
