Polska ’2nd Rate’ album released today.
The official release of Polska’s “2nd Rate” album release is today! Of course, some of you may already have this as it has been available in the Subtle Audio Shop since May (there are still a few copies left).
“2nd Rate” comes on 2 CD’s with 20 tracks, a myriad of tempos and influences and a wide range of instrumentation. This is the resurrection of breakbeats and melody in a year when many have heralded minimalism as the way forward.
Play through the Youtube videos below to hear snippets of all the tracks from CD 1 & 2, or check the sounds in the Subtle Audio Shop or on the Subtle Audio Soundcloud page. You might also like to check Khal’s review of “2nd Rate” taken from the DOA site.
Subtle Audio presents the “2nd Rate” Album Launch Party
As you may know Polska’s “2nd Rate” Album is out on Subtle Audio early in May.
Polska is a producer based in Dublin who has had releases on labels like Bassbin, Inperspective, Counter Intelligence, Kin and, of course, Subtle Audio. His debut album “Skeptic” was released in 2006 on Canadian label Make:Shift and showed the range of his unique style, incorporating ambient and jazz alongside his obvious love for jungle rhythms as well as downtempo beats.
