Convex Industries bursts forth with another release from vanguard of the drum and bass scene, D-Bridge. This outing is under his new Velvit moniker and is a showcase of what he can achieve as a producer when he isn’t pushing drum and bass based productions.

Passing Encounter starts with those atmospheric pads you’d be likely to hear in the jungle styles of LTJ Bukem and the producers of that era before breaking away into a hip hop reminiscent, heavily percussive 808 leg shaker.

Scarlett is a 4×4 whirlwind underpinned by an ever classic reese base. Driving forward, sparse percusssion draws into an uneasy lead line replicative of the sounds of Vangelis’ Bladerunner score.

As a release, its very indicative of how much of an accomplished producer D-Bridge is that he can switch his styles with this new project and it not sound forced.

Full release is available on the 14th May 2012. Digital available via Surus now.
