| Break The Surface / Music Blog |  | | OUT NOW: Avani / Slippers (BREAK THE SURFACE003) | After having released tunes that are on a very high level for a digital-only release, such as Drumatic's "Sleeveless EP" and Paul SG's "Lost in Halftime" & "Landslide", BTS003 comes up with two remarkable tunes, too.
"Avani" produced by CarlMatthes from Caracas (Venezuela) and Tyler Straub from San Mateo (California) is a Drum&Bass track that is characterized by its autonomy. So the beat shuttles between halftime and laidback but does not commit to one of them. A felicitous and impulsive groove is evolved in combination with Latin percussions. In addition, Indian influences and Asian vocals provide a deep aspect. When the bassline starts after the drop, the tune confidently threads a path between deepness and energetic rhythm.
The track already received DJ-support from London Elektricity, Fabio, DJ Flight and others.
The second tune is another musical contribution by BREAK THE SURFACE artist Paul SG. He provided a quite deep and slightly dreamy piece with "Slippers". However, the funky bassline functions as a good counterpart to the moody atmosphere and therefore the tune is not only intented for listening use but also meant to be played in the clubs.

Artist: Paul SG
Format: digital
Tracks: lost in halftime / landslide
Release Date: June 2008
With the second BREAK THE SURFACE release, we present you another talented and aspiring Drum & Bass producer from Germany named Paul SG. As a member of Soulgrifter he already released tunes on labels like Phunkfiction and Sensor. Beside BTS his solo project (as Paul SG) is also signed on Keynote, Sidechain and Digital Colours.
Lost in Halftime was produced with a straight, minimal halftime beat and really deep sub-basses. So the tune spreads a refreshing Dubstep-vibe. While listening one has the marvellous chance to fade out the common hustle and bustle. Break the surface seems to be the perfect agenda of "Lost in Halftime".
Landslide also has a minimal style that sticks out by its unique sounding bassline. Hence the track bursts out of normal listening habits, too.

"Break The Surface" is now presenting itself as a label and releases music in digital format.
March 4th we are going to release Drumatic's "Sleeveless EP" (BTS001)
The young producer from Chemnitz nearly represents a Calibre of Eastern Germany for us and we are pleased and proud to publish four top-notch tunes produced by him as our first release.
The vibe he creates by using jazz-samples is fantastic and shows how beautiful Drum&Bass music still can sound, without appearing clichéd.
His tunes sound fully developed and are produced to the point. They are paired with excellent arranged and extremely grooving beats. International well-known Artists like Kabuki, Syncopix or Henree already play his tracks for a long time in their sets.
We are very honoured that we can release such marvellous and above all comprehensive tunes on our label.
For one month Drumatic's "Sleeveless EP" is going to be exclusively available in our shop at www.breakthesurface.net starting 4th of March- afterwards also on well-known platforms like Beatport, Trackitdown and Juno.
