Astrid Gnosis, an electronic artist from London, UK, drops her "Nugabber" single "Bulletproof"
Astrid Gnosis has been heading the "Nugabber" movement for a few years now, and there is a new single out, which dropped last Friday.
The title might be an indicator here, this is not some minimal house stuff or pseudo-intellectual armchair techno... obviously made for the Hardcore dancefloors, not necessarily just in pure Gabber clubs, though. As I can imagine this tune getting dropped at more regular nights or to more regular crowds, too, and then everyone going Hardcore on the dancefloor.
I like that the tune is more midtempo, not really at "Speedcore" speed, but still hard and without the cheesy-ness that older midtempo gabber often carried around.
Just blood and adrenaline, so to say.
The lyrics with shouts like "got my bulletproof vest" almost feel like a premonition of the riots and protests in France and elsewhere right now, but then again, this could be a good soundtrack for future riots, too!
