Proxy



From the ashes of the soviet empire, from the flames of history, rises the proxy. Post 9/11 rave vibes cloaked in muscovite angst. The future and the past rolled up.’ - TIGA.

This my attempt to show how excited I am about the forthcoming proxy tour; a few booming mixes by the 'gritty russian' and a selection of some of my favorite proxy tunes and remixes.

Proxy is not light stuff. His music is described as 'dark', 'gritty' and 'distorted'- be warned. I didn't shine to his style immediately- it's something new- evil rythmic twists with a fairly simple but powerful reverbed drum pattern. What works so well for me is the moment of sanity before the track takes it's 'true form'. The 40 or so seconds of Dancing in the dark before the throbbing synth invades our ears, the melodic piano pattern at the begginning of the moby remix. Proxy's music is so energetic and intense, infact, that for the last 2 months I have been 'using' his music first thing every monday morning to wake myself up for my lectures. It works.

Simply, Proxy's music is full of energy and should always be listened to as loud as possible.
Enjoy!
