Oh My God Its Human Nature 007! = O

Human|Nature 007

Ben Camp (and possibly his Acid Orchestra) are back with a new set of releases. Melding progressive bass lines with these psuedo-8-bit, almost acidy melodies, Ben Camp continues to produce music for kids to rave out to. For as much as I post bangers, I’ve always had a love for the more acid-tech aspect of things. As a kid I used to listen to Plastikman’s Sheet One on repeat, Josh Wink’s United DJs of America and DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing like crazy (oh and a lot of GOA as well). I’ve never really let go of it, and have been preaching for a while how I’m started to hear the come back of acid techno in a lot of tracks. Just small inklings here and there, but its coming none-the-less!

But I digress; the new HN EP is on-point as always. Case and point:

Be sure and swing by Human Nature and check out what else they have to offer.

Here’s a little background on them for the lazy:

Human|Nature believes that every child deserves a rich arts education experience, but we know that given the lack of arts funding in schools today, most children do not have access to such an education. It is for this reason that Human|Nature has teamed up with Arts in Motion, a charity arts education organization, and donates a portion of all its earnings to help give the gift of music to children who are less fortunate than ourselves.

As a bonus here’s an excellent release from HN004 (which is actually a whole lot more acid than 007 is, but listening to it inspired my acid flashback):

Human Nature and The Broken Internets

Human|Nature

Its always a treat we we get something in our inbox/mailbox that makes you go “holy sh*t this is good”. Well that’s the case with the songs we’ve been getting from Human|Nature recently. Comprised of Ben Camp, Mat Leutwyler and Wally C, they are on a mission to create “quality music to share with the world, and to help others do the same”. From what I’ve heard so far? Totally on the right track.

“The Shuffle” - Ben Camp

This comes from their 1st official release, Ben Camp’s - The Internet is Broken EP. Its a throw back to some of older progressive house roots, but with way more energy and excitement. It starts with a simple and bouncy bass line leading into a catchy computerized vocal hook: “To all my people in the front, let me see you shake it”. From there it picks up more and more and peaks at around the 5 minute mark with a crescendo of gritty bass-lines and background guitar riffs. Its been a while since I’ve heard a solid track that’s both danceable all the way though, and yet takes the time to build up to something ever greater. I’m sure everyone is going to hate me saying it like this but: Ben Camp’s “The Shuffle” is the progressive house for new rave. Seriously, I’m not kidding.

I had a hard time choosing what to post from their sampler packs, but I ended up going with melodic piece from sampler pack 001:

“Paris” - Camp & Leutwyler

More on the trance side of the fence, “Paris” holds strong with its sweeping melodic harmonies underscored with measures of slow attack bass-synths. Its so far from what I normally post up, but its a complex 8-1/2 min stereoscopic journey though sound sure to illicit color-filled explosion inside your mind (got carried away with the descriptors there, sorry!). This is an excellent compliment to show the diversity in Human|Nature’s musical talent.
