RESPONDING TO DYNAMIC

Umek's album “Responding To Dynamic” is released this week. This album is the first one on his [1605] label and Umek's second artistl album.

Eight years after his debut album 'Neuro', Umek's long awaited 'Responding To Dynamic' is out this week on the Sixteenofive label. An album that is inspired by dancefloors worldwide and at the same time an album that was created explicitly to inspire those same party arenas.

It is the year 2010 and the advent and widespread use of technology, the internet and unlimited exchange and circulation of information has rendered the classical model of the "music industry" archaic and obsolete. In this rapidly shifting and changing state of flux, artists and labels rise and fall, struggle for relevance and compete for credibility, presenting, marketing and releasing their music onto the masses. Umek steps up to the plate and delivers his second long-player, entitled "Responding to Dynamic".

It may not be a direct "response" to anything in particular, it is a firm indication of what Umek is about, what he plays and what he makes-something ever expanding and fanatical fan base has come to expect.

Read here what Umek has said about this album when we interviewed him last year, while he was working on it. Listen. Enjoy. Repeat.
