"Invisible moving air that you can literally feel is fascinating. Those subtones have a physicality that other frequencies don't provide." So reason Seattle producers Andrew Luck (aka Woo!) and Dosadi (aka Adam Houghton) about their preference for productions that treat the sound spectrum's low end like a dominatrix does a submissive's ass.

Together, Luck and Dosadi work in that exciting basscentric zone where genres mutate and blur. Stylistic boundaries are still being mapped here, with things in a rapid state of flux. Luck describes their music as a combination of "skweee, glitch-hop, whomp, or midtempo breaks." The BPMs may be low compared to those in drum 'n' bass and techno, but Luck and Dosadi's rhythms and bass frequencies slug and surge with a thrilling high impact.

Their music springs out of jungle, hiphop, and dub, but it's 21st century in its predominately digital processing. They use Ableton Live, square waves and filters, and a keyboard MIDI controller to generate their tracks, although "Little Man" benefits from the fiery guitar ejaculations by local musician Purrrmaculture (Mariah Reed). Reed also lends resonant, Tibetan-monk-style chants and didgeridoo to the phenomenal global-funk-drone cut "Shakti Bump." But every sound seems to be massaged extensively and genetically tweaked to maximize grimy bling-osity, coating the tracks in high-gloss soot.

Luck and Dosadi claim that they "both have really short attention spans and are keeping it fresh by trying different approaches." Such an attitude proved conducive for the pair's remix of Sleepy Eyes of Death's "Pierce the Air," which dirties and fattens up the low end of the original's Goblin-esque, panoramic throb. Look for it this year on an EP of SEOD remixes to be issued by Mass Mvmnt.

"We took it on a week before the deadline, and it was more challenging that way," Dosadi says. "We had just finished the crunky booty track 'Pumping Quarterz,' and Andrew was like, 'Yo, I gots these samples, let's see if we can piss the band off.' Lately we've tried to alternate our serious versus less-serious tunes—we're not totally clown town."

Regarding their future, Luck and Dosadi say they're "working on turning our live set into a CD. We keep getting laid off from the cube farms, so we're putting all we have into what we love—making music and rocking shows." recommended
