The talented newcomer TRC2 from UK takes us on a journey with his unique 50/50 crossover of jungle and deep drum & bass. Features four remixes by NonRev, 88 Katanas, K3Bee and Offish.
• MUSIC IS MY LIFE'S WORK - The sample at the beginning describes it all, and the music sets the tone for the rest of the album – brooding atmospheres, intricate drumwork and heavy basslines.
• STRAW HAT - A breakbeat workout with off-kilter bass phrases and dark sci-fi atmospheres in the background, faithful to the roots of the genre with its jungly flavor.
• MACROSCOPE - Definitely one of the darker tracks on the release. The focus on straight, rigid drums paired together with a paranoid ambiance create memorable and exceptional piece.
• PRIVACY RISK - An experimentation with more complex drum arrangements, cycling through multiple versions of the amen break.
• CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS - A minimalistic two-step tune aimed at the dancefloor with plenty of understated funkiness. It keeps evolving and progressing until the end, with sparse dub chords bringing a room to breathe and sense of space.
• SATELLITE DATA - Steppy track with multiple break switches and heavy subs, with an interesting twist in the second half of the song.
• SENSING OBJECTS - Understated drum rollout that keeps subtly building throughout. Lush atmospheres and strings set up a rich, colorful stage in front of the listener, letting our imagination run free.
• SUB SPECIES - A foreboding track with driving, repetitive drums, deep piano stabs drenched in reverb and throbbing subby bass. The intricate layering of the pads adds to the ethereal mood.
• FACING THE VOID - Previously featured on Plot Holes compilation, the track contrasts with rest of the album with its breakneck tempo and loud, roaring midrange basses filling entire available space.
• STRAW HAT REMIX - Introduces rougher, more distorted drums as well as undercurrents with additional melodic phrases scattered around the track.
• SENSING OBJECTS REMIX - A more complex take on the original, with drum switches becoming the main theme of the remix. It takes a couple listens to catch all the hidden details.
• PRIVACY RISK REMIX - A jungle tearout rework that pushes drums to their maximum. Out of all tracks on the release, this one is loudest and the most aggressive one.
• MACROSCOPE VIP - Offish's interpretation with much more percussive elements, characteristic offbeat kickdrums and additional midrange basses thrown into the arrangement.
• ANTICIPATION - Epitomizing the cathartic journey I went on writing this album, this track is the re-energized positivity having come through a bit of a dark period (represented by the rest of the album).
Word of thanks to the following who have been instrumental in getting me to this point… my wife Elinor for being my biggest fan and inspiration; Fanu, Larson Whiled, NonRev, SEKL, the ladies of Headspace Cardiff and Dave Jenkins for the ever-present support; 88 Katanas and K3Bee for the stellar remixes; and Offish for not only making this happen but pushing me along the way to achieve standards I didn’t think I was capable of. Much love to everyone.

well done! pure dope, fantastic output by quartz. metalheadz is such a great label!
quartz has his own sound, blacklist fits perfectly to the metalheadz tradition.
it is both kind of retro and futuristic.
highly recommended, play it loud, the bass kicks:-)
that's the way i like it. quartz became quickly my favourite producer in this kind of music. dub orange
