The record sits firmly in the darker, more technical end of the drum \u0026amp; bass spectrum, combining complex breakbeats, aggressive bass design and futuristic electronic production. The release is catalogued as SUBTITLES065, with both the standard and promotional versions issued on 12-inch vinyl. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhace, the alias of Hamburg producer Florian Harres, became one of the key figures in the development of futuristic and technically driven drum \u0026amp; bass during the 2000s. His early work drew heavily on the late-1990s techstep sound while pushing it towards increasingly intricate programming, sound design and neurofunk-influenced production. His breakthrough album \u003cem\u003ePsycho\u003c\/em\u003e was released through Teebee's Subtitles imprint in 2007 and helped establish his reputation within the international D\u0026amp;B scene. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A-side features Hot Rock (VIP), a VIP reworking of one of Phace's earlier tracks. The original \u003cem\u003eHot Rock\u003c\/em\u003e appeared on Subtitles in 2005, while the VIP version delivers a tougher, refreshed interpretation of the track, with hard-edged percussion, heavy bass movement and the precise sound design associated with Phace's productions. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the flip, Brainwave (VIP) provides another formidable example of Phace's futuristic production style. Originally associated with his early \u003cem\u003ePsycho\u003c\/em\u003e era, the VIP version turns the track into a powerful DJ weapon, emphasising intricate drum programming, heavyweight low end and relentless momentum. Both VIPs later appeared as part of the expanded \u003cem\u003ePsycho (Re-Release Deluxe Edition)\u003c\/em\u003e catalogue. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an essential record for collectors of 2000s drum \u0026amp; bass vinyl, neurofunk, techstep and Subtitles Music, particularly those interested in the era when producers such as Phace, Noisia, Spor, Teebee and Misanthrop were pushing the technical boundaries of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA serious DJ-focused drum \u0026amp; bass 12-inch, \u003cem\u003eHot Rock (VIP) \/ Brainwave (VIP)\u003c\/em\u003e is recommended for fans of Phace, Subtitles Music, neurofunk, techstep and dark, futuristic drum \u0026amp; bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhace – Hot Rock (VIP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhace – Brainwave (VIP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jrsXbZeAPtc?si=6mAM7OIoSfPvlPNh\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Subtitles Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55114099851606,"sku":"SUBTITLES065","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_60f705d2-f3b0-457c-a78a-0dfaa9fbe9af.jpg?v=1787839181","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/phace-hot-rock-vip-brainwave-vip","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
