About Me |
|
| Westbay Recordings is the musical home of Los Angeles based producer Nathan Hayes, better known to the world as Atlantic Connection .
After many years recording tracks for some of the Drum & Bass scene's biggest and most respected labels, Nathan felt it was time to found a new imprint that would allow him to fully explore his artistic vision. Hooking up with Jeryl , head of Nu Urban Music's PR department, the pair hatched a plan to create a brand that would represent true artful freedom and act fearlessly in the face of the decay of the traditional music industry. Westbay's musical direction seeks to envelope all styles, genres and sonic flavours and hold them under one all-encompassing creative banner, complete with stunning design from Facts of Life Design . Be a part of the Westbay and understand true artful freedom. Tomorrow's Not Enough Ever wondered what modern Drum & Bass would sound like if you crossed it with Hip Hop, Jazz, Soul, Electro and any other influence you could get your grubby hands on? Well so did Atlantic Connection when he decided to craft his stunning new album ‘Tomorrow’s Not Enough’, a labour of love which has taken him the best part of the last year to complete. The album sees Atlantic Connection offer the listener a peek into his audiological world, a concept which includes his move from North Carolina to his current home of Los Angeles and the emotions involved with that, right through to the completion of the album itself. If you want to hear one of the most daring and honest musical projects the D&B scene has to offer this year, you need to pick up ‘Tomorrow’s Not Enough’. The album is only available in Digital Download format with a selection of singles dropping on vinyl over the course of the next few months. ‘Tomorrow’s Not Enough’ – Digital Download available from all major digital retailers from 2/06/08, but you can grab it direct from Westbay at their iThink Music store [Click Here] Tracklist 1.
