Auf >Breakthrough< verschmilzt kalifornisch-inspirierter Psych mit Einflüssen aus aller Welt. Durchdrungen von ominösen und verzerrten Tönen sowie entfesselten Drums ist >Breakthrough< vielmehr als eine Sammlung von Beats - hier fusionieren Elektronik, Psychedelic-Pop, Funk/Soul, Hip Hop und Dubstep zu etwas eigenständigen und aufregendem Neuen. Gastaufritte von Gonjasufi, Adrian Younge, Dimlite, Daedelus, SAMIYAM oder Computer Jay machen >Breakthrough< zu einer Reise der kreativen Verbundenheit und einer Stammes-Zeremonie mit einem Gefühl von Gemeinschaft, welches den Stellenwert der kollektiven Erfahrung für The Gaslamp Killer wiederspiegelt. Mit >Breakthrough< gelingt The Gaslamp Killer eines der spannendsten Debütalben in 2012! 2 x 12 Inch Vinyl im Klappcover, inklusive Code für freien MP3-Download des Albums.
Breakthrough is the debut full-length album from the Gaslamp Killer, a manic and mystic trip through the mind of a madman. Resident DJ and co-founder of the mythic Low End Theory club night in Los Angeles, the Gaslamp Killer is known across the globe for his impeccable turntable skills and high-energy performances. He delivers the same fire to Breakthrough, a project pulled from within his soul that is his strongest musical statement yet.
Blending California-inspired psych with widespread global influences, Breakthrough is a musical anachronism, an unconstrained compilation from a wandering spirit. Finding new clarity through human connections after years on the road, the Gaslamp Killer’s evolution as an artist continues with Breakthrough. Overcast with ominous tones, loose drums and contorted sounds, Breakthrough is much more than a collection of beats; it is a musical project that reflects the culmination of almost a decade’s worth touring and performing around the world. Laying his hands on production and live drums, the Gaslamp Killer brings together a potent cast of friends to contribute to the album. Featuring guest appearances by Gonjasufi, Adrian Younge, Dimlite, Daedelus, Samiyam, Computer Jay and more, Breakthrough is a journey of creative connection, a tribal ceremony loaded with a sense of fellowship that reflects the Gaslamp Killer’s devotion to the collective experience.
