LOOKING BACK TO THE VAULTS FROM 2012-2014
https://soundcloud.com/global-dance-records/dj-sang-do-the-analog-collection-album
A complete works of Sang-Do from 2012-2014 – ‘The Analog Collection’ is eleven tracks strong and covers the musical journey of a producer who’s been sizzling in his studio, pushing out a varied library of weighty releases covering all areas of the electronic dance music domain. Touching on mostly upbeat Electro and Progressive House, there’s a line of other splashes of influence as the compilation dips into Techno territory as well as some Dubstep and Breaks in areas. The result is a fresh and organic sounding collection that serves as a quality taster of what Sang-Do gets up to behind the desk.
Not bound by trends or genre-limitations Sang-Do is one of the rare breed that just does what comes naturally, rather than mimicking the Beatport charts in order to catch a break. All too often we find ourselves following the leader and the result is a disbanded culture that often leaves next week’s release sounding all too similar to last week’s. Not this talent though – as Sang-Do has a few out of the box signatures to his sound – most noticeably a love for intense synths and big atmospherics. His production style is free flowing, bold and full of ideas and left-field approaches to his modulation and arrangements, which all vary greatly without ever sounding out of place.
Born in Seoul, South Korea – Sang-Do’s life has been a story-worthy tale traveling him to Honolulu, Hawaii aged just 4, before moving to Seattle. Being put through testing times growing up – the young Sang-Do found his true happiness in music, which was something nobody could take from him throughout his eventful and tricky upbringing. Like so many now engrossed by dance music, it was the 80s and 90s that inspired and sure enough the natural progression for those that end up in this game stemmed from a craving for those unforgettable synths and electronic drums that laid the foundations for this electronic music universe we all live in.
Whilst this collection might not find itself topping the sales charts, it does carry a personal energy and creativity that’s hard to come by in 2015. It’s refreshing to hear an artist get lost in the synths and write music from the heart, rather than just the brain. What’s more important, sales or delivering a personal message in your music? Your own answer to that will probably determine how you take this compilation – but we’re a big fan of expression and think this package is fully deserving of the attention it’s amassing.
