"If you
compress water, what essence are you left with?" asks Raven Tupling.
The answer is San Francisco-based duo WaterJuice who have opened a Pandora's
Box with their debut album Hydrophonics. WaterJuice is on a mission to
bring Highly Experimental audio nectar to electronic music. Fusing downtempo
rock with the trance-endental school of thought, Hydrophonics will simultaneously
groove and squeeze you. The album is as lush as its title suggests, fraught
with deep atmospheric Vog blended with solid electronic beats, ethnic
polyrhythms and a touch of Didjerigoo.
"The music has had an aquatic vibe since the beginning," remarks
Cyril Kollock (aka DJ Surreal). "Our starting point was a sample
of gurgling water on Inversion Layer and that initiated the flow of our
music." Moody and humorous with a Glymph of mystery, Hydrophonics
is funky throughout and demands the attention of those who like their
beats on the trippy side. Tune in to Radio Free Vaporvent, and see what
Captain Nemo was really up to!
