Emancipator - Dusk To Dawn flac mp3 download

Douglas Appling, better known by his stagename Emancipator, is a producer from Portland Oregon. He got his first big break in 2007 when Nujabes featured his track “with rainy eyes” on Hydeout Productions 2nd Collection. As Nujabes’ acclaim grew at an astronomical rate, fans couldn’t help but fall in love with regularly featured artists such as Substantial, Funky DL, Cise Starr, Shing02, and Uyama Hiroto - Emancipator only made one appearance alongside Nujabes, but this brief exposure was enough to expose me to Appling’s talent.As “with rainy eyes” began to accumulate plays in my library, I decided to give Emancipator’s other music a listen. Now, 7 years and 3 albums later, Emancipator remains my go-to source for music without vocals. Whether I’m studying, sleeping, driving, thinking, or relaxing, Emancipator’s sound delivers every single time. Never overbearing but ever- tinkling, pinging, plucking, drifting, gliding, skating, Emancipator will enchant you with his subtle and meticulously crafted arrangements and mastery of sound-melding. Here is a condensed list of the sounds you can expect to hear in any given song: Violin, sitar, Chinese flute, vocals used as instruments, acoustic and electric guitar, saxophone, piano, banjo, fiddle, vibraphone, and always, ALWAYS, amazing percussion that far transcends anything a person from this planet should be able to produce. Also, with song titles like Galapagos, Valhalla, Father King, Wolfdrawn, Natural Cause, bury them bones, and rattlesnakes, he comes off as a royal, sword-wielding biologist-turned-cowboy vigilante on a quest through the wilds for justice.Dusk to Dawn is his new album, released on his new record label (Loci Records) and after listening to it straight through 6 or 7 times I can definitively say that every single song on the album is a classic. Something tells me Emancipator would’ve been just fine without Nujabes’ endorsement.http://keepinmusicclassy.com
