Producer Gensu Dean has been quiet for a minute after his collaborative album with Planet Asia (Abrasions) and then his production work for 7evenThirty (The Problem).
As summer starts he wanted to let his fans know where he's been
musically by offering up an all new instrumental album for free. The 25
track record is meant to be a warm up to the new material Dean has
coming late in 2015 and early in 2016.
For those new to Gensu Dean, the analog producer has worked with some of the industry's greats including Large Professor, David Banner, Planet Asia, Brand Nubian and more. He gets the nod of approval on "Algorhythms" introduction from legendary Diamond D (of D.I.T.C.), DJ Joc Max, and DJ Spinna
Here's what Gensu Dean had to say about the project:
"I've been
dealing with some "life challenges". Things on a personal level have
been super tough, like the passing of my father. The good thing is I
have been able to draw up the energy, whether positive or negative and
re-direct it when creating. This I am really excited about, the good,
the bad, and the ugly has taken me to a new place creatively. Once I was
able to get to a better place mentally, I started going through my
record collection and listening…really listening. Its amazing how your
frame of mind can hinder, but in my case enable, a person to hear things
that were once not heard. This was the catalyst for me entering a new
chamber of production.
Algorhythms is
a musical journey type of record. It has several music moods that take
you places. Its not your average kick, snare, and hi hat type of
instrumental record. Its geared more toward experiencing a musical
collage. It has been my career position that when you create music and
that music creates a mood, it sticks with people, it becomes relatable.
So I wanted to capture several moods, and express them in musical form.
This enables the listener to join in and share the listening experience,
based on a mood or emotion they can identify with. This is one of my
many formulas when creating, hence the title. Algorithms are formulas
used to address problems and/or issues that require a solution, I apply
this in a music format. I altered the spelling to reflect the fact that
it is musical rhythms and grooves."
