Statler and Waldorf 'Collusions EP'

Long the domain of the club DJ, the dance music scene is slowly being infiltrated by a new predator. Live electro acts are forming in packs across the nation with their samplers, MPCs, synths and associated devices of groove, picking off the weakest of their prey. With a combination of stealth and power Brisbane producers Statler and Waldorf are penetrating dance venues, unleashing their live shows on the public in a flash of teeth and claws.

The Statler and Waldorf sound is one requiring a broad genre definition. Not singularly breaks, house, techno, hardcore, hip hop or drum n' bass but at the same time a bit of all of these styles, the Statler and Waldorf machine explores the darker side of groove, mixing live synths and vocals with hard beats and deep bass.

Live, the duo explores the darker side of breaks, mixing live synths and vocals with hard beats and deep bass. Every part of the sound is twisted and controlled, feeding off the room's vibe and subtly manipulating its direction and atmosphere. Live. Electronic. Bass. Beats. Dance.

The new EP titled 'Collusions' extends their deserved live reputation beyond the club into the studio. Consisting mainly of collaborations, the release features the sounds of Paul Kelly, Blue MC (Bionik World) and Miss Brown (Solo and Soma Rasa) and showcases a subtler aspect of Statler and Waldorf. Demonstrating their extensive production skills, the EP merges the unique Stalter and Waldorf sound with the hip hop, folk and breakbeat styles of the guest artists.

This is quite possibly some of the best and most original Australian music you will hear this year.

'Collusions' by Statler & Waldorf is released on CD through Freefall Records/MRA. Tags
