Moonbased "City Lights" reviewed by Billboard Russia!
• ttsnet010 Under the name Moonbased hiding one of the representatives of Russian diaspora overseas - a musician living in America, and its debut release Russia issued a web-label Trutypesounds.
"City Lights" - this is instrumental hip-hop, recorded on all canons of the genre: music, created in a bedroom with the help of sampler and old vinyl records. Elastic, crunchy rhythms, contrabass, cool jazz motifs, voice cuts, scratch, vintge keys and, of course, warm vinyl noise. Associations are born much - and here sampledeliks from DJ Shadow (perhaps the most obvious comparison), and patchy jazz in the spirit of Madlib, and catchy alternative hip-hop aesthetics of RJD2. However reproach guy in imitation is not correct - playing on the rules, he is quite unwittingly fall into the narrow framework. When listening to the album impossible to get rid of the feeling that this instrumental version, and somewhere there and vocal. It`ll be nice to hear rapping mixed with gentle triphop female singing on this album.
