Urban CC’s debut EP, The Introduction (Part I), marks a compelling entry into the realms of house and dub techno.
Released on BERG AUDIO, this project is a collaboration between Obscure Shape—formerly part of SHDW & Obscure Shape—and classically trained musician, Conrad. The duo’s fusion of backgrounds results in a sound that’s both raw and refined, capturing the attention of key industry figures.
Each piece of the five-tracker EP showcases Urban CC’s adeptness at blending deep, pulsating rhythms with intricate melodic elements. Notably, “Shayga” exemplifies their signature style, weaving atmospheric textures with driving beats to create an immersive listening experience.
Beyond their studio work, Urban CC has been developing live performances over the past two years, aiming to translate their intricate productions into engaging onstage experiences. This dedication to both recorded and live music underscores their commitment to pushing the boundaries of electronic music.
The Introduction (Part I) not only signifies Urban CC’s promising start but also reflects BERG AUDIO’s intent to diversify its catalog by incorporating genres like drum and bass. This strategic move indicates the label’s eagerness to explore and promote a broader spectrum of electronic music styles.
In essence, Urban CC’s inaugural release is a testament to their innovative approach and sets a high standard for their future endeavors in the electronic music landscape.
