about

Flux By Uchiha - Abell 400 (DBB003)

The black spiral, the purest emblem of the Italian imprint, invites curious listeners, thirsty for new sounds to place themselves at its center as when the cyclone comes, the safest place to be
is right at its core.

As Dubblack aims at the objective of consistently offering a physical product, the third release in its shadowy catalogue, entrusted to Flux By Uchiha
(Tommaso Centanni) and his five-track record ‘Abell 400’, are available both digitally and on vinyl. A striking transparent 12’’ dubplate in an exceptionally limited issue of 25 copies.
DBB003 marks the debut of the young Italian producer on Dubblack. His skilled Deep rhythmic orientation, together with an innate capability of implementing Acid reverberations and a passion for blending sounds coming from the Middle-East together with the most coveted European avant-garde ones, certainly are some uncommonly dazzling aspects of his ultra-modern musical persona. It’s truly complex to pin down the musical genre of this record. We could throw around terms like Ambient, Experimental, Dub, but the sonic reality is way more intricate and undefined. In one word, diverse.

Behind this record lies a universe, a narrative. More than a universe, in this case, Flux by Uchiha narrates through his music a cluster of galaxies,
Abell 400, located in the constellation of Cetus (the Whale), 326,000,000 million light-years from Earth.
In the myriad of galaxies it encompasses there is NGC1128, which hosts the binary system of supermassive black holes 3C75, which emits constant signals of radio waves immersed in the vastness of a blue cloud made of plasma, typical of the galaxy cluster.
3C75 are drawn to each other, dancing an inexorable dance of death, moving in a spiral towards their own fusion to
collide in millions of years…

The adventure kicks off with '3C75'. A mild, coolly sweet space caress made up of rhythmic pulses in the form of hefty kick drums, sinister radio waves and distant laments, perhaps emanating from those millions of light-years that separate Abell 400 from Earth, or maybe from unexplored life forms existing right within the galaxies. 'Dark Inner Planet' and its broken beats clearly define the seemingly infinite boundaries of the galactic perimeter narrated by the artist. It's evident how within his bag of tricks, the use of Sound Design is one of the sharpest weapons wielded with wisdom and self-discipline, yet directly. The delicate and dark harmonic caresses complete the picture.
The exploration goes on and the human ear, not accustomed to such stimuli, adapts more and more to the context created by these sounds, elegantly unfolding in this auditory odyssey. A gloomily sophisticated light strikes in the subsequent 'Abell 400’. Its controlled frenzy gives sense to the skilful dynamic shift of sonic elements. It generates an additional dimensional layer within the uncharted vastness of this territory that, slowly but surely, becomes more fascinating.
In 'Dub From Abell 400’ the cathartic poetry of the poignant harmonies arranged by Tommaso, re-focuses the distance that exists between this world, so far from us; fear resurfaces but gets diluted by the intriguing rhythmic tail of the track. A moment of space-time solitude.
The exploration comes to a close with the profound harmonic reflection of
'How I Feel’. The artist's first explicit private glimpse comes right at the end, in his own words. Who knows how he feels after this journey? Up there and out there, he went and came back, and the serene distorted Bolero that accompanies us bystanders towards the end of the trip has something melancholic and eerie, but enchanting.

As DUBBLACK’s spiral keeps on swinging around with its vehement experimentations, you’ve gotta savour and enjoy the ride in the “here and now”, as it's happening.

THE ENTIRE PROCEEDS OF THE TRACK "How I Feel" RAISED DURING THE PRE-ORDER PHASE WILL BE DONATED TO SUPPORT UNICEF'S "EMERGENCY CHILDREN IN GAZA" CAMPAIGN.
