Outside hits hard with To Forgive But Not Forget, a captivating foray into the world of Drum and Bass

Outside is an english band playing open mind music, Acid Jazz, Downtempo, House and Drum And Bass… Inside, three musicians : Matt CooperAndy ‘Nibiru’ Allen and Patrice Blanchard. All of them have many participations on several releases. This EP, both intense and introspective, demonstrates the group’s ability to fuse frenetic rhythms and atmospheric melodies, creating a sonic experience that is as catchy as it is emotional…

Few words about the record

From the first bars, Outside lays the foundations for a powerful sound, where the complex rhythms of Jungle meet deep and vibrant bass lines. Each track on the EP (Dorado – 1996) is designed to enhance the raw energy of the genre while integrating subtle melodic nuances, providing unexpected depth. The eponymous track, To Forgive But Not Forget, stands out for its frenetic groove and evocative samples, which weave a captivating and cinematic sonic web.

49th release from Dorado, at that time « Drum n bass » was on transition, this piece is just a great exemple ! Matt Cooper, Andy ‘Nibiru’ Allen and Patrice Blanchard were (at that moment) in a great mood ! Very creative, « To Forgive But Not Forget » is a brillant piece which remains eastern gipsy vibes and « Moodswing »‘s journey remixed by Aquasky got, in a western vibe, got the living jazz thing. It’s great to have it in my DJ bag, this music could have been made yesterday… Awesome !
