Description
Piper Street Sound returns with a strident march forward in Hulusi.
Conceived during the early stages of a pandemic with the Atlanta-based multi-hyphenate Matthew Mansfield's signature blending of production styles layers of acoustic analog and digital performances at last lock in and unfold in time to an insistent Steppers riddim with a pace and message that gets the blood moving.
In collaboration with NYC based Dub gorgon Subatomic Sound System Lee “Scratch†Perry’s band for over a decade and featuring contributions from luminaries that span a wide network of timeless titans and studio assassins the end result plays like a flag-planting campaign of the past INTO the future.
The title refers to the instrument used to capture the piece's main theme an ancient Chinese 3-chambered flute that reads somewhere between melodica and bagpipes a brash but plaintive melody. Fleshed out and supported by dread performances from Mansfield's urgent bass Christo Case on synths and keys Brian Daggett on pounding drums and horns by Jonathan Lloyd the production eventually manifested into the righteous machine presented here.
