Hospital RecordsÕ S‹o Paulo discovery Urbandawn is a serious contender. After releasing two popular EPs with the label and spending several months determined in the studio his debut album ÔGothenburg ClusterÕ is ready. Seventeen tracks of sophisticated sound design unite punching drum beats, funk ridden riffs and huge cinematic explorations. The experienced audio engineer not only draws from his Brazilian roots but also the more niche rock, metal and folk bands of the Swedish mid 90Õs scene. ItÕs this distinctive spin on drum & bass thatÕs grown support from the scene's heavyweights over the last two years. It was ÔTrindadeÕ - discovered deep in HospitalÕs demo box - that first brought Urbandawn to London ElektricityÕs attention. He's been tipped as 'The Future Sound of Brazil' with ÔMessiah ComplexÕ and ÔPavlovÕs DogÕ that have stayed permanently in the label boss' record box and getting dancefloorÕs moving across the world. ÔStill BreathingÕ featuring Med School prodigy Keeno, is an emotive match of ethereal piano and staccato strings. When sat next to the face-slapping impact of ÔFoley FunkÕ and the bright, vocal powerhouse in 'Together Again' itÕs clear how UrbandawnÕs creative flare can adapt to different styles of drum & bass with consistent brilliance. UrbandawnÕs thrilling new take on drum & bass cannot go unnoticed, the ÔGothenburg ClusterÕ LP explores an exciting new branch of the genre.
