This is the first LP Si Spex has released in over 20 years, and it&#8217;s a cracker. Having found popularity over on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">YouTube<\/a> with his alter-ego, Barry Beats, you can hear that impressive knowledge of hip-hop breaks being showcased throughout his music. Supplying solid listening pleasure and musical enlightenment, Si Spex has utilised his decades of experience to craft a track in 00 Gauge that will get you moving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our RouteNote Licensing Spotlight track this week kicks off with instrumentation reminiscent of a 1960s spy flick set on the French Riviera. Clean electric guitar chords help drive the track, but it&#8217;s the relentless hip-hop drum beat that does the heavy lifting. A recurring short melodic phrase gives the song character, being played on the autoharp. Think &#8220;Sherlock Holmes in a pair of Ray Bans&#8221;. Further melodic layering is added in, in the form of Spanish style guitar, reinforcing the sunny, European mood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For its brevity, this track artfully manages to pack in a good four or five sections, each with their own force of momentum. The song closes with some sleuthy muted brass, not out of place in a classic Bond film. Impossible not to nod your head to, Si Spex has created a tune that is stylish, sophisticated, and full of groove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>2 Sides of Barry <\/em>was released on Si Spex&#8217;s very own label, <em>New-Bap<\/em>. It showcases two distinct skill sets. &#8220;The A-side is traditional in nature and made up of samples, while the B-side is 100% sample free, all cooked up inside the computer using just VST instruments.&#8221; You can hear more from Si Spex by following him on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/6pIn7FlhmbT5gihNMlvPlP?si=yz6iEDOFQX6sFJiwrn-yjg\">Spotify<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sispex\/\">Instagram<\/a>.
