Description

Beat Spacek is the latest project from UK vocalist / producer Steve SpacekCreated largely using iPhone and iPad apps, the album once again finds Steve liberated through new technologies, excited by the prospects of ï¿½the newï¿½ whilst expressing notions of the past. Itï¿½s a journey through the evolution of modern Britain from a futurist perspective. Framed against a particular period in the 1980s when Steve was growing up as a young man in New Cross, South East London, Modern Streets is rooted in the duality of the past and the future. Flim-Flams was the club where he first experienced the clash of sounds and styles that characterised South Londonï¿½s racial, ethnic and cultural melting pot. A spot where Punks, Soul Heads, New Romantics, Dread Locks and Skinheads all converged brought together through a love of music and new sounds. From the paranoid, post-punk, sleng teng musings of "I Wanna Know" to the nu wave pop-powered love song "Inflight Wave", Modern Streets is a direct reflection of that experience, envisioned through the mind of a 21st Century Rudeboy. Ghanaian Highlife is re-imagined in digital form on "Tonight"; "Stand Firm" tips its hat to the dancehall with a futuristic rinse; whilst the sub-bass powered anthem "Alone in Da Sun" draws on the finest elements of dubstepï¿½s sonic vocabulary and reworks them into a loose, new age club jam, brimming with soul and charisma
