Description

Following up a number of web & CDR releases (more recently Number 65 on No Type and I Can Only Remember Tomorrow on Subverseco), you can say it was about time Dustin Craig (known to lovers of fine electronica as Headphone Science and Elasticlego, alternately) has his music featured on a CD!

The six previously unreleased songs found on the We Remain Faded EP are probably his strongest and boldest material to date. No monotony to be found in this bristling display of Craig’s trademark chopped-up hip-hop style. Even if we wanted to make comparisons, we’d have a hard time, so why don’t you just listen to the audio clips?

Oh, & one more thing: this guy calls himself Headphone Science for a reason!

What the press says…

… the disc fades not, etching into one’s head with repeated listenings.

Tobias C van Veen, e|i magazine (USA)

De l’abstract hip-hop qui aurait sombré dans les limbes d’un océan d’ambient. Un excellent moment.

Julien Jaffré, Jade (France)

Un exercice complexe qui a comme intention de réjouir les oreilles de ceux qui s’y attarderont.

D C, Nightlife (Québec)

Un étrange mélange, à la magie séduisante, savamment élaboré…

Laurent Diouf, Wreck This MeSS - Paris (France)

… you’ll know of his sharp knack for beat programming as well as his skill at creating ambient soundtracks.

Walt Miller, Splendid E-Zine (USA)

Con un debutto simile è quasi impossibile non nutrire grandi aspettative per il futuro.

Filippo Boccarossa, Idbox (Italy)

Headphone Science

Oakland (California) resident Dustin Craig is the man behind the Headphone Science and Elasticlego monikers. A young composer drawing on hip-hop, dub, IDM and musique concrète, his music has been featured in various places, most notably the No Type, Subverseco and Observatory web labels. → Full bio
