Opiuo
is easily one of the fastest rising stars in underground electronic
music, and he steps into the fold for 2012 with his first installment of
a series of cutting edge musical creations! The excitement and buzz
around this release is off the charts, and for good reason. Opiuo has
created a new, independent, and completely infectious sound; captivating
an extremely wide audience with his genre defying catalog. Constantly
touring internationally and spreading his music far and wide, his
popularity is exploding due to his symbiotic connection to the audience
and his high energy live performances.
Butternut Slap EP – Part 1 is the first entry of a 3 part series, and it
expresses a diversity of styles of the Opiuo output. Each part has a
theme, and upon completion of the release of the total trilogy, an album
is formed.
The EP starts with tried and true banger “Bill Bro Baggins” drawing the
dancefloor in with cinematics and then dropping the glitchbass bomb, as
the introduction to the release, you can hear very easily that Opiuo is
about to make a serious statement.
Next up is “Mouse Trap” where a funkified tribal low end intro sets the
stage for pumping and jumping Opiuo vibes, horns riding atop the flexing
beat, rolling hard with a large and in charge bassline. The energy and
hype expressed through the speakers is undeniable!
Devil in the Dark and Load Landfill showcase Opiuo’s ability to use
vocals as an intricate instrument within his compositions. The Devil in
the Dark remix ramps up the tempo with smacking breakbeats and
basslines, carefully crafted edits, and perfectly embedded vocal
stylings from The Nomad. Especially impressive is the evolution of the
drums and percussion starting organic and hybridizing throughout the
track into a full on underground rager that could also be heard on the
radio.
Load Landfill is a soulful lurching bass treat, where carefully placed
melodies work their way around the syrupy vocals provided by
Syrenisscreamy, completing the package with a strong note that organic
and human elements not only belong in electronic dancefloor music, but
are dearly needed.
This new series reaches deeper into the skill set of Opiuo, furthering
establishing him as a prolific producer that completely understands
immaculate production techniques, as well as incredible dance floor
energy!
