RIS002: NATIVE INTELLIGENCE “PEAK TIME”

Ft Remixes by:
SUNSHINE JONES, DZ, CASEY DC, and S.I.M.O. & NATIVE INTELLIGENCE

Peak Time – the second explosive EP off the Rock It Science Laboratories label – is not just a unique and well rounded package, it’s a state of mind. It’s that moment when the dance floor is reaching it’s energetic climax, the DJ has built up the vibe, and everyone is completely in sync with that amazing feeling that you only get when you are connected to that higher source, really feeling the vibration and losing track of time.

Native Intelligence, known for writing great lyrics and attaching them to pounding original tracks, has belted out a true dance floor classic with his first release on Rock It Science Laboratories. Immediately launching you into the outer space regions of his musical mind, Native takes you on a gliding journey where the key pads sparkle like stars and bass warps like galaxies spiralling. Sunshine Jones, founding member of the pioneering Dubtribe Soundsystem and producer of classics such as Do It Now, Mother Earth, and many more brings in the light with his mature Extended Disco Remix creating a happier and joyous version of the intensely wobbling original. DZ ravishes our ears on the other end of planet Peak Time. This man on fire with recent remixes on Fool’s Gold, Mad Decent, and many more as well a a slew of original works on his Badman Press label drops yet another dubstep ripper. CaseyDC comes correct with his Purple Hills remix. Bouncy and thick, this mix is reminiscent of the Dirtybird sound we’ve come to know and love. S.I.M.O. & Native Intelligence bring a fierce and darker version of Peak Time compared to the original.

Native Intelligence drops debut album on iTunes!

Moving Windows, featuring the production of Rock It Science’s Native Intelligence and Navarro (Urban Loops) is both a mid tempo and ambient odyssey through sound.
Each brilliant track weaves a new sonic tale sometimes creating a deep and meditative musical story and other times a head bobbing, road trippy, energized vibe. Quite simply it not only fits all moods but molds your mood while drifting in and out of global soundscapes.

“Moving Windows” is a very special album because it is one that seemed impossible to release. I’ll explain more on that later.
Each track was a collaborate effort by myself and Navarro. We pulled loops, samples, sounds and mixed the vast bank of collaged textures with our own original musical writings on the keyboard. By producing in this style songs could be formed quickly with an exciting feeling of accomplishment as we were obsessed with the notion of making twelve songs, having a photo shoot, and releasing on our own label in just a few months. We worked long hours in his cramped living space in the Tenderloin area of San Francisco setting personal records such as completing two and a half songs in 12 hours. Often we saw eye to eye and then there were other times of great disagreement on such subjects of song structure, song titles, and even the album title. We both had very strong opinions and yet always worked it out and kept on pressing forward.

With respect to my ex production partner I will simply state that during the production of song 12, laptops and external hard drives were confiscated, things went missing and I was left with 11 songs on an audio CD and no contact with my friend. That was more than two years ago. The album sat on a shelf for a while only to be shared with close friends.

Recently Todd Christensen offered to distribute the album and help with all the details of a proper release. I kept all the song titles the same and even kept the album title that Navarro wanted. Interestingly enough the missing track (12) was titled “No Small Hurdle”. I chose the concept for the album cover in reference to Navarro being a Moving Window in my life. Just like the alley is a reflection or view through the human shape next me so is Henry Navarro’s musical and personal view on this album. This album is dedicated to all that grab the creative moment without hesitation and work diligently against all odds to present their vision to the masses. Last but not least, keep supporting artists and buy music. thanks.

Sincerely,
Native Intelligence
