Endangered Species EP
Album US 2013 on Honeywax Records label
Dance (Techno)
Brooklyn-based imprint Honeywax Records presents the latest release from Destronauts, the Endangered Species EP. Destronauts draw on a long history of DJ'ing, specializing in 'liquid' drum n' bass and headier house music sounds with DC's renowned 2Tuff crew and residencies with Eighteenth Street Lounge in the beginning of the last decade. After a move to Italy, and then a final relocation to Brooklyn, Destronauts officially formed as a duo exploring spacier electronic and indie rock sounds before settling on a cosmic, disco-inspired house style as a solo project. Destronauts can be defined by lush pads, deep stabs, pulsing kicks, old sounds, 808's, and a steady beat that pushes through the night. The tracks on the Endangered Species EP were directly inspired by experiences in illegal warehouse parties circa 1992. Destronauts strove to capture the sense of danger amidst the security of being surrounded by like minded people wanting to hear new sounds and dance. A modern, after hours techno sound permeates the EP along with an underlying theme of mankind and its effects on other men and animals. Destronauts see the EP as a unique opportunity to tell a story through the vessels of house and techno music. Bass lines, synths, and hi-hats became voices of determination, suspense, and tension. Within the EP are three tracks: "Sentient Beings," with its ominous rhythms and pads offset by a smooth vocal conveying the desperation to free one's mind with a night of celebratory dance, the acid-inflected "Endangered Species" that effectively transmits the tension and risk of an illegal warehouse party, and the cinematic, Italo-flavored "Exit Strategy" meant as a soundtrack to a scene of animals in captivity planning escape. There's also an instrumental and radio edit of "Sentient Beings" rounding out the package. Distributed By Symphonic Distribution - www.symphonicdistribution.com
