Pure Niceness

Moresounds has left the training camp and is now at the controls of his own craft. A dub fanatic, he stays true to the techniques of King Tubby, and from behind his desk sends dancefloors crazy with pinches of hip-hop and jungle in his authentic and energetic live show. This approach caught the attention of Om Unit's Cosmic Bridge label in 2012 before his debut EP on Astrophonica in 2013. Since then his music has appeared on Doc Scott's 31 Recordings and has added trademark cosmic dub seasoning to Machinedrum'sVapor Cityproject. An impressive start to his career, echoed in Fact Magazine's inclusion of the producer as one to watch in 2015.

Moresounds' second release on Astrophonica, Pure Niceness, builds on these foundations and launches us into orbit with the opening track Reality Tune, a mix of anthemic vocals and drawn out subs, creating that elusive, edgy vibe that sits somewhere between uplifting and terrifying. Altercations goes head first into manic overdrive with heated footwork rhythms set against roots elements. The title track Pure Niceness takes a restrained and more thoughtful approach, using key ingredients to cook up a minimal codeine fuelled soundclash with SEG bleeps and sirens firing off over a simple bass groove. Rounding up the EP is Dead & Bury, a simple but effective collaboration with label boss Fracture which rolls out the breaks and will definitely leave soundboys both dead and buried.
