about

What I have always liked about drum and bass is the amalgation of styles. Listening to Bal's music you can clearly recognize that he was inspired by Calibre, D-Bridge, early Bad Company, Source Direct etc. and these influences are blending in his tracks creating something new. I like his low-key, clean sound, he's clearly not trying to jump on the bandwagon of using multiple hihat layers, creating that piercing treble range so typical in today's drum'n'bass.

Kicking off with some mysterious sounds and turning into a crime flick's soundtrack, "The Promise" threatens rather than promises. As the 808 boom-boom bass drops the tune calms down, proving once again that Bal is definitely not out to hit you in the head with an axe. Gentle funk with a suspense thriller twist.
As a contrast, the B-side with "I Want You To Know" has a uniqely dreamy and nostalgic feel to it which of course Bal is also about: crispy breaks reminiscent of the golden years, fragments of vocals and synths and the essential boom-boom bass. Sweet! ~ words by SKC
