Liquid Stranger returns to Interchill loaded with two heavy hitting albums for 2011.
The Arcane Terrain, unleashed in May, obliterates the boundaries
separating dubstep, grime, dub, breaks, hip hop and outernational
crunkadelica. The Renegade Crusade, out in September, takes aim at DJ's
and lovers of bass music with stripped down mixes, instrumentals and
significantly more dirt and grime than its predecessor.
Stylistically, The Arcane Terrain picks up the thread from the
Stranger's recent releases on Interchill - The Intergalactic Slapstick
and The Steel Trap EP - and continues down the meandering path of bass
laden revelry. With collaborative input from Heavyweight Dub Champion on
2 tracks, this album features impeccable vocal contributions from
Sterolion, A.P.O.S.T.L.E, Killah Priest and the legendary hip hop
mastermind KRS One. MC Zulu also steps up to the mic to throw down his
own brand of lyrical science on the finely toasted growler 'Timeless'
and on the laid back riddim of 'Vigilante'. To round it out there are
several organic elements and layers of evocative atmospheres scattered
throughout, which give the LP the distinctive Interchill flavour that
fans have come to love since the first Liquid Stranger album, The
Invisible Conquest. And if that isn't enough to whet the appetite for
low end yearnings, the final touches to The Arcane Terrain come courtesy
of Tipper who lent his well-tuned ears to the mastering process.
The Arcane Terrain forges new ground in the unfolding odyssey of a
wandering bass mystic. With plenty of impact and groove to slay any
dancefloor, it also works well as an everyday listening album. Turning
it up a notch, the soon-to-follow companion album, The Renegade Crusade,
promises to deliver a healthy taste of the Liquid Stranger live sound
and will quickly find its rightful place in the secret stash pocket of
the most discerning of DJ's. Taken together, this double-barreled dose
of protean sonic mayhem drops bass in your face like Galileo dropped the
orange. Keep an open mind and let gravity do the rest.
Liquid Stranger embarks on the Renegade Crusade Tour this summer in
support of the new albums. Watch for a stop at a sound system near you.
