Leftie - Caveman on a Date (2018)

The veteran of Ukrainian drum'n'bass scene, musician with a rich background — Leftie, presented his mini album on 2064年 Recordings. It's a special occasion, since he is very reverent about his music and quite rarely puts it out.
This release combines lots of ideas and styles and every single track is a chapter with its own story and meaning taken from his personal audio diary. The journey starts with wonderful ambient tune — ‘Rejection’, which submerges the listener into right atmosphere from the very first notes and emphasizes the mood with sounds of a summer rainfall. Tedium explores the tricky question of boredom — can you write a tune that transmits this feeling, but is not boring itself? ‘DTP’ — the most experimental work of the release — was generated exclusively from a recording made in a car after a small traffic accident. Every sound, one way or another, was designed from interior hum and emergency lights clicking, which once again proves that there are no limits in creation.
The title track of the release — ‘Caveman On A Date’ — explores the feelings of an introvert dealing with an outside world. Tribal aesthetics, spontaneity of events and changes in groove intensity mix into a peculiar audio cocktail of emotions, not bereft of self irony. ‘Two Angry Developers Fixing A Problem While I Play With My Synth’ tells one of thousands office stories, which happened to all of us. What makes this particular story special is that its foundation was performed live on a synth right at the office. ‘Comets’ and ‘Cassiopeia’ are all about Leftie's love for outer space. The latter also actively uses the sounds of cosmic events and bodies provided by NASA. The journey finishes in awe of the beauty of the universe and creates a cyclic feeling linking back to the start of the release, so you'll definitely want to take this trip again!
