2 New Alternative Blueprint releases 19/09/2011

We are pleased to announce 2 new releases! Both available from iTunes & most other places worldwide 19/09/2011

ALTBLUE007 - Automated Acoustics - Lost & Found e.p.
ALTBLUE008 - Vagabond Skills - The Evasive Pages Vol.2

Automated Acoustics returns with glacial electronics, wonky-acoustic instruments & whisky-soaked vocals on "Every Time I see You". Automated Acoustics has also been collaborating with various female vocalists recently. Opening track "Lovers Lament" features vocals by Rosa, recorded just 2 days after the death of her partner. Also appearing is the haunting violin of Ben Green on dubspace exploration monster "Aromed 4".  www.myspace.com/automatedacoustics

Vagabond Skills brings Vol.2 of their heavy hitting hip-hop sound. With punishing basslines, smooth orchestral arrangements & intricate far-out lyrics from MC Deface & Minimal Pig & Long Beach resident  MC Kris Ransom. Lyrically the standard is high, with MC Deface once again showing his verbal dexterity across the record. MC Minimal Pig speaks mostly in anagrams on "Angle Of The Angel", & MC Kris Ransom gets on some Vampire Hunting bizniss on "Vampire".  www.myspace.com/vagabonds69skills

It's a tongue in cheek senior-citizen breakdancing grimy throwdown baybee! Oh yeah! 

Featuring music & sound effects from OptikaTech, Vagabond Skills & Automated Acoustics. Directed by skate video producer Russell Scully & choreographed by breakdance instructor Tom Willoughby, it's a fun, funky piece of work, which has echos of David Lynch.  Funded with help from the Mean Feet organisation, helping motivate old & disadvantaged people into movement & dance. This current version has the voices of some of the dancers in, but it will be broken up into a full music video for the Automated Acoustics track at the end.


 

Alternative Blueprint Club Night!

 Going out to all the ravers! If you're in the UK on March 5th, get down to legendary venue The Black Swan in Bristol for a night of mashup AB sounds over 2 rooms!

It's 4 tracks of grimy, intense & strangely beautiful Hip-Hop from the UK, USA & Holland. With the spaced out flows of MC Deface, MC Kris Ransom & produced by OptikaTech (a.k.a. OptikaTechNiqua ) this will be an e.p. for all leftfield rap heads to get deep into.
