Perfect For: Corporate-branded projects looking for edgy hip-hop/electronic music, films and TV shows that are seeking a different kind of sound for a hero’s journey

Formed in September 2004 in the town of Lorient, the Paris-based Depth Affect are a quartet comprising of two musicians, one DJ and one VJ. The group has adopted a unique musical approach by choosing to focus on largely instrumental hip-hop-infused electronica, placing the concentration on refining their sound and finding the right slant for their music to become totally universal.

Depth Affect’s latest release “Hero Crisis” is an impressive slab of acerbic cut’n’paste electronica sprinkled with an extra helping of chunky hip-hop bits. Their music is a blend of emotive chords, playful rapping, sharp beats, and catchy rhythms. The album has a music box quality, with its heavily processed samples lending an air of carefree magic. You are taken into a warm, glitchy odyssey through the eyes of some progressives who ditch urban politics in favor of gleaming hooks and cerebral, euphoric keyboards. Depth Affect builds a very personal sonic universe in which glitches and breaks cohabitate in perfect harmony. Whatever the quartet throws themselves into, they manage to make total sense of it.

Depth Affect’s inventive and eccentric numbers are well-suited for corporate-branded projects screaming for edgy hip-hop and electronic music. Their aptly-titled album “Hero Crisis” has the perfect amount of danger and mystique to be used as for films and TV shows that involve an atypical, yet epic hero’s journey.

Nobody does electronic hip-hop like Nobody does.

The DJ/producer also known as Elvin Estela rose from the underground hip-hop scene of the 1990s, only to become its chameleon. What came next was a stream of soulful jazz/funk/hip-hop, and sunny electronica. And in his third album, Nobody proves that he is just as good as ever.

"And Everything Else" really does live up to its name. Nobody explores the musical niches he had previously left untouched, such as alt-folk, Latin music and psychedelic rock. But he also pays homage to his hip-hop roots, for fans of his previous sounds.

Nobody's third album is a complete mixture of various styles which includes Latin rap, bass-heavy big-beats, sunny psychedelia, electronica, and even a sad, sweet acoustic solo at the end. Yes, none of the styles entirely fit together, but the catchy beats and odd electronic touches keep them linked.

Subatomic Sound System ON ALL FREQUENCIES is a portrait of life in New York City done in words and sound. With an eclectic crew of men and women rolling over ten deep, it is a collection of snapshots seen through many different eyes, a reflection of a wide range of attitudes and experiences. The beauty of this city lies as much in the history of its vast musical traditions as it does in its reputation as a birthplace of innovation. Subatomic Sound System stays focused on both.

The album opens with a thumping hip hop beat, driving reggae bass line, squelchy dub echoes, and police sirens on the track Welcome To New York. At the midpoint of the album, ON ALL FREQUENCIES leans into more musically eclectic territory, with “Fly Free”, a cross between a reggae stepper, broken beat, and old school funk. Funky bass, super get down clav, and vintage guitar drive this riddim while a ton of African percussion and sultry heartfelt female vocals carry it home.
