MP3: Neotropic
Although Riz Maslen (aka Neotropic) has what can be considered a modest discography, the young composer has successfully carved an audible niche for herself within the dense musical foliage of hybrized electronica. Combining ambient, dub, and electronica with a handful of stylized break forms, Mazlen has perhaps her most accomplished work in the forthcoming LP White Rabbits recorded for experimental US hip-hop label Mush. On the new record Maslen is credited for writing, producing and playing a number of instruments on each track, and her vision of downtempo as translated through a classical framework has never worked so well. Her talent as a filmmaker contributes a cinematic depth that few producers can capture. Two of the shorter compositions are posted below. If you like these tracks, please look out for the new record in the coming months and grab her older stuff on Ninja Tune, N-Tone and Belgium's R&S Records.
