Whose style is similar to this?
First thing is first, please do not think of any track on Chemical Brothers 1998 album Surrender. Ok with that now out of the way, I will be hoping to take this one with a more open mind.
I will be writing an article on the task of
the unsigned artist to out-do their idols. That is develop their craft to such
an extent that they would no longer need to hide behind or use their
established musicians as their reference point or identity.
This week I came across a track by an unsigned artist who pretty much covers a lot of bases in the ‘electronica’ world. I listen to this track and I can’t quite put my finger as to who ‘out there that has made it’ it sounds like. The artist is called Uncle Reg. And I will listen to more tracks by them to get a feel of their identity or influences.

HAUNT ME NOW – UNCLE REG –
Whose style is similar to this?
Haunt Me Now.
An instrumental piece that goes on for less
than six minutes but never feels like it overstayed it’s welcome.
Ambience-wise it can be likened to the finishing
of a post-rave 90’s film – an come down
or the kind of track you would find somewhere in an MTV-2 or M2 playlist.
It starts with a loud and mid to high range
frequency covering drone that spans four bars. Along the way it picks up
delayed jangles that feel like wallpaper glistening reflections in a rusty and
wide underground tunnel.
There is a melody as there is harmony
between four distinct sounds happening at any one time. One picks off where the
other finishes still carrying and longing, longing for acceptance?
Then there is the piano break, accompanied
by warbles and knocks of all kinds.
Amidst the chunky snares – big beat style,
and good down-tempo there is a whiny instrument that I can’t quite place but
provides the main emotion in this track.
This track was quite high in the artist
server charts for the week commencing February 25th 2013.
I looked further on the song page, and it
says it was made by a 60’s organ, and a
fiddle.
