L-Vis 1990 "Compass" / "Zahonda"

L-Vis 1990. English bloke. One of the most innovative and talked-about producers of the year, with the talent, creativity and artistic vision to back it up, not only through music but also video and artwork (he is responsible for the massive Riton and Dance Area videos, as well as his own, supported by Michel Gondry's production company Partizan). Championed by blogs, sitting on top of a pile of hypemachine and resident advisor charts, the buzz on L-Vis' releases (on Mad Decent, Dress 2 Sweat) and remixes (for Riton & Primary 1, Buraka, Crystal Fighters, Gucci Vump) is the kind that comes once a year and changes the face of underground club music. We could spend hours explaining how he is the new incarnation of UK bass / club culture and how he blends years of garage heritage with post-modern tribal house, but it's a lot simpler than that: L-Vis 1990 is his own music genre. He's a true phenomenon, and the sensation that we are witnessing the imminent explosion of a massive success has never been so tangible.

Slightly heavier than your average Sound Pellegrino release while still maintaining focus on groove as our primary criterion, this single marks our first exploration of "riddim" territory, AKA we're definitely taking the Eurostar to this one. Somewhere in between UK funky and dark African rave lies Compass, a strong, obvious, destructive and fierce hit that could be interpreted as a punchy follow up to L-Vis' previous single United Groove. Already played by the whole universe from big name BBC Radio 1 DJs to Grenoble techno aficionados, Compass is bound to become a must-play, and we'd like to apologize in advance for the loss of your dear little bedroom speakers. On the infamous "virtual flip", Zahonda serves as the bubbly, quieter yet lethal house tool. Obsessive, repetitive and muddy, it's the chant of Mother Earth reclaiming the dancefloor, or something to raise your arms and worship the Sun to.
The Compass remix is provided by none other than Christian Martin, half of the notorious Martin Brothers and one of the heads of best-in-class San Francisco-based house label Dirtybird. This is another case of "we are so psyched to have one of the inspirations behind the creation of Sound Pellegrino do a remix for us". His take on Compass results in an amazing slice of detailed, elegant and vicious electro-tech that will surprise and win the favors of DJs from all around the spectrum. London's Greena remixes Zahonda into an immediate funky DJ friendly stomper that will leave crowds all shook up, wrapping up this essential single that will undoubtedly give to young underground prince L-Vis 1990 the well-deserved title of "King of Bass".

Exclusive Interview with Worthy
As a member of the dirtybird family, DJ Worthy already has a solid foundation on which to build a shimmery, elastic sound. Expanding on this base, he's gone on to release tracks on the hot UK imprint Leftroom and LA's Utensil Records. In 2006, Worthy started his own label, Katabatic, which is itself is blowing up.
We talked to Worthy via email about his recent inclusion on Sven Vath's Sound of the Eighth Season, the success of his funny-named "Irst_Te?" single and "Hyphy House." We'll also give you a chance to download "Bassquake," his iconic track from his own label, Katabatic.
