TIGERBEAT 6

Artist: DROP THE LIME Title: Killy 123
Format: 12" Catalog

Price: $4.00 Label: Tigerbeat 6

***Welcome Drop The Lime into your home, but expect neither flowers nor bottles of wine. Instead, you will be gifted with a premeditated attack on your entire record collection. Forgive Drop The Lime (a.k.a. L. Venezia), for it's simply his nature. He started programming and composing at a very young age. Teenage rave scene influences (jungle, drum'n'bass, U.K. garage) soon festered into a fascination with drum sounds and fills, which led to a string of break-core drill'n'bass 12-inch releases and compilation appearances on trendsetter labels like Ambush and Peace Off. Killy 123 promises to push Drop The Lime into "serious contender" status among twisted, hardbeat miscreants like AFX, Squarepusher, Kid606, and Venetian Snares.

As its playful title suggests, Killy 123 is a move away from the morbid and dark releases proliferating in today's IDM scene. Taking a goofier approach to melody, these upbeat tracks are mixed clean and loud for maximum dance-floor appeal. In "The Days" and "Amarcord Gold," big band remixes and squirty sound riffs tangle within the context of floor-thumping anthems, inviting consideration of the relationship between old and new forms of dance music. "Rad Girl Killy" and "Cutty Throats" revolve around the empty spaces in sound, allowing the main rhythms to unravel over time, balanced by tickly, eerie melodies. Each side ends with melancholic, beatless tracks that express the energy and emotion put into the creation of the harder, dancier tracks on the EP. These songs, "10.28.00" and "Just Don't Make them Cry," are epic ambient pieces that climb towards a digital heaven.

  • Upbeat tracks in a Venetian Snares / Squarepusher style
  • Sure to be heard on dancefloors worldwide
  • Previous releases on trendsetter labels Ambush and Peace Off

***The best tracks from Luca Venezio's (aka Drop the Lime) debut album given the proper dance or die funky techno treatment by today's most interesting techno, acid and house producers.

Kid606 turns "Shaken" into a writhing dual 303 acid track; Eats Tapes pitch down the vocals and make a serious bootybass bouncer; Soft Pink Truth replaces all the vocals but keeps the same lyrics on the most disco-friendly remix; while Gold Chains and Original Hamster mainpulate the originals into their own unique styles.

Artist: DROP THE LIME Title: Shot Shot Hearts
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
MEOW130
Price: $6.75 Label: Tigerbeat 6
Release
Date:
2/6/06
***Shot Shot Hearts is Grime / Dubstep-influenced Breakcore and Punk at its most anthemic and passionate level; a circus of colliding underground scenes run by the ringleader himself, Drop the Lime. Your city is haunted, and you want to go out and play with the ghosts, wrestle with the sounds of the dark night. Drop the Lime is here to lead you and keep you safe. Shot Shot Hearts captures the feeling of the blistering cold of torrential downpours and the spooky fog that soothes when the storm is done.

This dangerously energetic EP sounds like pop songs after a machete attack: distorted shuffle kicks, pyschobilly slap back delayed vocals, spooky harmonies and ghostly guitars.

  • The latest and greatest in Drop the Lime's must-have catalogue of acclaimed EPs on Ambush, Peace Off, Broklyn Beats, Mirex, Shockout and now Tigerbeat6

  • The perfect stopgap release for hungry fans 'til a full-length album in spring 2006

  • Drop the Lime has toured across the world playing dozens of high-profile shows with artists such as Dizzee Rascal, Plaid, Kid606, Vex'd, DJ Rupture, Plasticman, Sickboy, Maximo Park, Cylob, Shut Up and Dance, and Shadetek

Artist: DROP THE LIME Title: This Means Forever
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
MEOW111
Price: $6.75 Label: Tigerbeat 6
Release
Date:
2/28/05
***This Means Forever, Drop the Lime's debut album, invites all the pop stars of the world to this apocalyptic dance-off. Please step up Mr. Timberlake, Mrs. Spears, Madonna, Usher, even that guy Wade Robson, to "dance or die."

This Means Forever is as playful as it is serious. DTL's hardcore Italo-killy sound nods to breaks from the days of rave, with timeless time stretches, freestyle squirts, and vocal sweeps sung by himself and guest ghetto-tech MC, Minty. Spending the majority of his childhood spinning classic jungle artists like The House Crew, Congo, and DJ Hype, and singing in punk bands, DTL today combines the two hyper styles of music. Snares freeze in empty spaces while growling basslines, trumpets, cellos and guitars swoon through epic cut and paste archives of sound. With elements of hardcore punk, vocals shout like Fugazi and flirt like Frank Sinatra.

DTL continues to rise in the underground electronic music scene. With a slew of EPs and tracks already released on labels like TB6, Ambush, Peace Off, Broklyn Beats, he has already blown the minds of crowds worldwide alongside pioneer artists like DJ Scud, Aphasic, Doormouse, Kid606, and even Dizzee Rascal's US Debut performance in NYC. This Means Forever is only the beginning for this young talent, but it will definitely set a path forever.

Artist: DROP THE LIME Title: We Never Sleep
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
MEOW133CD
Price: $9.25 Label: Tigerbeat 6
Release
Date:
5/22/06
***Rowdy nights in hyper New York City consist of sub-heavy dive bars, sticky dancefloors, backflips off the bar, and smoke-filled limousines. Drop the Lime's We Never Sleep is a headfirst dive into this after-hours world and its creatures of the night. The album, packed with four-to-the-floor funk spiked with grime and growling techno-bass, features eleven gritty club bangers dripping with romance and Italo-punk attitude.

"Wake Up Call" opens the album with a bomb of intoxicating dubstep. Over militant beats and bass, Luca Venezia (aka Drop The Lime) seduces listeners with a vocal intro, then snaps the track into a shake-and-break booty frenzy with guest-vocalist, Minty (Glassy Eyes, This Means Forever). Tracks like "Triceratops," "E-Lock," and "Hotsauce Grillz" are heavily influenced by recent stays in Berlin and the UK where Venezia performed at parties like Bristol's Toxic Dancehall and London's Bang Face. "Full Moon Rising," "ButterScotch," and "Coal Oven Fevers," are Venezia's first true verse-chorus-verse pop songs, and while still heavy on the dancefloor, these tracks make We Never Sleep more than just an album for DJs and club heads.

Venezia helped introduce UK grime and dubstep to US audiences with his Bangers & Mash parties and his live sets at Cut Crew's Dirty Down, Dave Q's Dub War, Konkrete Jungle, and a few epic Rothko events. With underground bass music taking off in 2006, Venezia's dark grime, dangerous techno, and romantic vocals make him NYC's obvious new bad boy Sinatra.
