Hybrid - Soundsystem 01

Mike Truman and Chris Healings are better known to the world as electronic pioneers Hybrid. The duo have blown audiences away with their jaw-dropping live show as well as excited listeners across the globe with three albums pushing the boundaries of electronic music.

While cinematics and soundscapes have always been an element of the Hybrid philosophy, on new album SoundSystem 01 they have broken new ground and taken their cinematic side to the next level. Having worked on film scores for blockbusters such as Kingdom Of Heaven, Man On Fire and upcoming Narnia chronicle Prince Caspian, atmospheric compositions have become a common component of their sound.

On CD 1 of Soundsytem 01 they have worked this style in to their own work, mixing parts of film scores with ambient electronica to stunning effect. Tracks from artists such as Trentemoller, Spooky and Andy Page blend seamlessly with scores from feature lengths including 28 Days Later and Hannibal, to create an aurally beautiful voyage into Hybrid's new world.

CD 2 takes a more traditional route for the guys, though still represents a change in the Hybrid Soundsystem style. Leaving their traditional breakier sound behind this CD sees them heading into more solid 4x4 beat territory as they experiment with a much techier approachthan on previous dj compilations or artist outputs such as, Wide Angle, Morning Sci-Fi and I Choose Noise. This is the sound that's been taking their rejuvenated dj career to new heights and which promises to keep clubs solid and dancefloors packed. Soundsystem 01 will not only please Hybrid fans of old, hoping to hear more club hits, but should also win over a new generation of clubbers.
