'7in7', the forthcoming seven track EP from Andy ‘Droid’ Byram, promises an energetic electronic rollercoaster from the first track.
Audiodroid has been producing tracks ranging from the dirtiest of dance bass-lines to ambient and chilled out synth numbers since around 2005 (sometimes under the pseudonyms ‘doll’ and ‘My Blue Sunday’), but only since two years ago has Audiodroid been taking his music seriously. '7in7' offers a variety of tracks showcasing his ability to make a pounding rave tune but also a laid-back and serene ambient record.
Reminiscent of some of modern Electronica’s greatest, first track Glitterwhore’s bouncy yet funky bass lines will have you (like they had me!) busting a move from your first listen. The dark and dirty track is generous with its drops, which are well timed and guaranteed to get even the most stubborn of dance floor parkers skanking their legs off and feeling the bass. There are some slightly creepy and maybe a little discomforting vocals provided by the Glitterwhore herself.
In a similar style, the synth-filled track 'Reset' promises many a good beat mixed with a healthy dose of automated beeps and noises. The quick and deft breaks, accompanied by some nicely pulled off scratching, give a similar sound not too apart from some classic rave acts such as the Prodigy, or perhaps even musical genius Aphex Twin. Along with 'Insanity Gets You Everywhere' and 'The D.E.V.I.L Wants Your Soul' (a well worked collaboration with 666 and Adam Freeland), Audiodroid provides the bog-standard energy and vibe of a classic break-beat track combined with his own unique style.
Not without its peaceful moments, '7in7' gives you a few opportunities to catch your breath and relax. 'Alphaxbox Primary Code' and the aptly named 'Digital Butterfly' are a soothing, easy to listen to pair of lullabies which, compared to the rest of the EP, sound like the morning after anthems of Audiodroid’s fine new record.
The re-occurring robotic vocal samples, although apt to the styles of this genre, can be a little repetitive (along with the very similar beats on a few tracks), but that can almost be expected of any dance producer. One thing’s for sure though, this new EP is likely to not only go down a treat with the hardcore rave addicts, but also to perhaps pull in a dance newbie or two.
