| dj hell: gigolo records: candy coated crime ist die bombe! dj mark moore: finally back to real angst! The Opiates Forthcoming album: Hollywood Under The Knife The Opiates started with the intention of being an ambient project. Bored, they soon said: f…ck this, and wrote the kind of songs that moved them in cerebral as well as booty shaking ways. The Opiates are Robert Solheim and Billie Ray Martin. Their forthcoming album ‘Hollywood Under The Knife’ explores paths pioneered by the Chicago house and Detroit techno heroes, not least Electribe 101, with the aim of taking things forward a step in history. Although Kraftwerk and Yazoo have been mentioned as influences, their very unique brand of electronic music is as much Carpenters as it is cutting-edge electro, with a nod to current minimal influences. The Opiates are radical because they do not shy away from the rare match of songwriting and cutting-edge beats and bleeps. Hollywood Under The Knife will boldly go where the best of electronic duo crossover albums have gone before and will appeal as much to the charts as to the underground, to film and television as much as radio and beyond. "This EP of throbbing electro-disco, torch soul and narcotic pop is awesome!" (four stars) IDJ Magazine"dark electronic pop: scalpel-sharp lyrical observations, juxtaposed with shimmering production to magnetic effect" DJ Magazine "this EP is atmospheric, moody and magnificent... the Nico of the rave generation has returned with a stealth-bomb of a record, with a tranced-out charm of its own" Bearded Magazine "Candy Coated Crime ist die bombe!" DJ Hell "a bleep-fest of epic proportions, which really serves as yet another vehicle for Martin's butter-soaked soul" Subba Cultcha "a musical match made in heaven" allinlondon.com "you should take a punt on it: it's the sound of dance music before the circus came to town" Electric Roulette "finally back to real angst!" Mark Moore "full of soul and emotion... the songs creep into your consciousness and before you know it have taken over your motor functions. Oozing sex with great electro bleeps and an orgasmic vocal delivery... a real success" (four stars) Gigwise.com "a deliciously electrofied sound... recommended" Inhale Magazine |
