About the EP:

“Deconstructivism is a postmodern architectural movement which appeared in the 1980s. It gives the impression of the fragmentation of the constructed building, commonly characterised by an absence of obvious harmony, continuity, or symmetry.” - wikipedia

Forged from a mutual love of breaky things, label co-founder DJ Economy teamed up with local LA fixture undercurrent to cook up a split EP at the Body Tools studio in Highland park, CA. Over the course of two years they carefully crafted two collab tracks that are book ended by individual productions from DJ Economy. Opening with the sample college that takes the name of the EP, we are quickly greeted with the voice of architect Paul Rudolph while mutated breaks churn at lurking measures below it. Next we are greeted by the first collab track entitled “Contrast“ which is a low slung 130 BPM roller that features sprinkles of soul samples over mangled breaks that slowly become more dissected. “Fragments” takes us up to 174 BPM where the boys slowly unravel a techy jungle roller featuring synthetic forest ambience and tundra cold pads and crashing breaks. Finally DJ Economy’s irreverent footwork banger “Tangent” leads us out of the EP with endless flips of a core sketch that sprinkle drippy jungle sounds over skittering TR-8s programmed drums and leering digi stabs. Together these tracks represent a fusion of the two artists that creates something new for both their catalog of styles.

As usual, all tracks were printed to reel to reel master tape as PreMasters using a Pioneer RT-707, and then mastered by Jumping Back Slash in South Africa.
