A brilliant marriage of dance floor and bedroom, with mechanical drums and a subtle techno vibe. Where another track with such sparse sounds could be passed off as sterile, Savine and Kabuki capture depth and emotion in their minimal masterpiece.
Skunkrock Productions founder Daniel Savine serves up minimal beats with a dub feel in "Backup," a collaboration with Precision Breakbeat's Kabuki. Savine and Kabuki's sound is robotic yet bouncy, simultaneously serving up a deep roller for the soul and keeping the dance floor fresh. The success of "Backup" secured Skunkrock Productions a place in the U.K. drum and bass scene. Skunkrock moved its offices from Germany to London in 1998 and is finding great success hosting artists from England, Germany, Japan, and the US. Savine lives in Germany, representing the label in its homeland.
