Evolutionary Vibes Vol. 1 'The Endless Search For The Perfect Beat'

The Evolutionary Vibes collection represents the development of Australian dance music in all its glory.


Featuring a well-curated selection of rare and limited cuts, these albums are more than a simple retrospective; they provide a guided journey through an immense library of deeply-textured electronic soundscapes.


This first volume, ‘The Endless Search For The Perfect Beat’ takes listeners to the roots of sample-based composition, embracing a decidedly laidback, chilled-out personality. Opening track ‘Turkish Wolf’ by Trapezoid blends soulful delta blues with Middle-Eastern influences, embodying the diverse palette of sound to which the record aspires.


Mind-expanding trip hop enters the mix with ‘Avenue’ by RX Framing, followed by ‘Timesnare’ by Son Of Sam. MADCAP Records’ own DJ Soup takes pride of place in the tracklist as the only artist to feature twice on the album with songs, ‘A Thing Of Beauty’ and ‘Say Love’, the latter of which serves as the album’s closer.


It is said a journey of 1, 000 miles begins with a single step; on a journey through the evolution of Australian electronic music, ‘The Endless Search For The Perfect Beat’ is that first step.
