Brookes Brothers厳選ベスト10曲＋DJMIXなどまとめ。サイバー＆爽やか疾走ドラムンベース好き必聴

とりあえず聴くべき厳選１曲

The Brookes Brothers – F-Zero (2008)

F-Zero - EP

今でこそ、このようなサイバー系ドラムンベースは珍しくないし、2008年当時もViper Recordingsなどからそんな曲調のものは出てはいたけど、比較的地味な感じのものが多かった。そんな中この曲の完成度は（特にそのキャッチーさとアグレッシブさ、疾走感において）頭一つ抜けていた。ブリブリのエレクトロベースにシャープなストリングス、上品なバッキングピアノ、エレピソロ・・・。暗闇疾走＆近未来感バリバリ。
B面の「Dawn Treader」もおすすめで、こちらはViper Recordingsを率いるFutureboundとの共作。（本作はAdam FとFresh率いるBreakbeat Kaosからのリリース。）
ちなみにこのジャケットデザインといい、後年リリースされた「The Big Blue」といい、察するにゲームのF-Zeroファンとしか思えないのだけど真相はいかに・・・

↓ほかおすすめ9曲、DJ MIX、バイオグラフィーなど

The Brookes Brothers – Paperchase (feat Danny Byrd)(2009)

iTunes Store / Amazonで探す(CD)

Hospitalの特攻隊長Danny Byrdとの共作。ポジティブアッパーなドラムンベースを作らせたらこのタッグにかなうものはないだろうというほどの最強タッグだと思う。Hospital Podcast 91(2009/6/24)の１曲目に「Untitled」というタイトルで収録されたものの、その後いっこうにリリースされず、２年越しの2011年にようやくBrookes Brothersのフルアルバムに収録された。

The Brookes Brothers – Tear You Down (2008)

iTunes Store / Amazonで探す(CD/MP3)

（video by Breakbeat Kaos）
Brookes Brothersの出世作。UKダンスチャートで２週間トップ（トップ20位内は15週間キープ）。Sara Cox がBBC RADIO 1 で「今週のベストレコード」に選抜。

Filthy Dukes – Messages (Brookes Brothers Remix) (2009)

Amazonで探す(CD/MP3) / Beatportで探す

（video by FilthyDukes’s channel）
原曲のちょっぴりファニーな雰囲気を極大化したような、ユーモア感溢れる曲調。それでいてBrookes Brothersお得意の爽やかな雰囲気と疾走感は健在。

Culture Shock & Brookes Brothers – Rework (2007)

iTunes Store / Amazonで探す(MP3)

（video by RAM Records）
サイバー系。Culture Shock との共作。2007〜2008年ごろは爽やかポジティブな曲調のものよりはこのような綺麗でストイックな雰囲気なものが多かった。

CHASE & STATUS – Let You Go (Brookes Brother’s Remix) (2010)

Amazonで探す(MP3) / iTunes Store

（video by UKF Drum & Bass）
爽やか＆サイバー系。

Danny Byrd – Gold Rush (Feat Brookes Brothers)(2008)

iTunes Store / Amazonで探す(MP3)

（video by Hospital Records）
Danny Byrdとの共作。序盤の徐々に丁寧に音を積み上げていく盛り上げ方が半端ない。両者が得意とするストリングスワークや、Danny Byrdお得意のボーカルサンプルのカットアップがたまらない。

The Brookes Brothers – Good Burger (2011)

iTunes Store / Amazonで探す(CD)

爽やか系。

The Brookes Brothers – Loveline ft Haz-Mat (Original Mix)(2012)

iTunes Store / Amazon(MP3)

One of the most respected production partnerships in Drum and Bass, the Brookes Brothers have become a formidable force across the bass music scene. Known for their unique, soul and disco infused beats, the Brookes Brothers are one of the genres most accomplished production teams.

Formed of brothers Dan and Phil, the Brookes Brothers first began dabbling in production in 2002. After a few years perfecting their craft in the studio they released their first track in 2005, catching the attention of leading figures in scene, including Viper Recordings boss, Futurebound. Their first release on Viper Recordings came in the early days of the label in 2006 with the single, ‘Someone’ / ‘Promise’ (only the 8th release in Viper’s history at that point).

Following their breakout single, the Brothers worked on collaborations with a number of their peers and fellow producers (who have now since turned out to be some of the biggest names in the scene), including: Sub Focus on ‘Verano’, Culture Shock on ‘Rework’ and ‘Smoothie’, Futurebound on ‘Dawn Treader’, and Danny Byrd on ‘Gold Rush’ – making the Brookes Brothers responsible for some of Drum and Bass’ best joint efforts in recent memory.

The duo scaled to new heights with the seminal hit ‘Tear You Down’ in 2008. A blend of soulful vocals and funk infused bass, ‘Tear You Down’ spent 2 weeks atop the UK dance chart as well as 15 weeks in the top 20. Catching the attention of Sara Cox, who made it BBC Radio 1′s “Record Of the Week”, ‘Tear You Down’ underlined the duo’s place in the upper echelons of DnB.

After signing to DJ Fresh’s Breakbeat Kaos label in 2007, the duo released their much anticipated self-titled debut album in 2011, which showcased their unique, accomplished production style. Featuring classics such as the ethereal ‘Last Night’, dancefloor hit ‘Beautiful’ (featuring Robert Owens on vocals), as well as ‘Paperchase’ (a collaboration with Danny Byrd), the album showed the Brothers ability to produce dancefloor gold, while numbers such as ‘Corpse Bride’ and ‘The Big Blue’ also showed the depth and versatility of one of DnB’s most important production teams. The album also saw the act dabble in Dubstep, with the reggae tinged ‘In Your Eyes’ becoming the Brothers second track to be playlisted on Radio 1.

Along with their collaborations and solo work, the Brookes Brothers have given ravers some of the biggest dancefloor reworking’s with their many diverse remixes. Turning tracks such as Chase and Status’ ‘Let You Go’, Nero’s ‘Must Be The Feeling’, J Majik & Wickaman’s ‘Crazy World’, and Shinichi Osawa’s ‘Star Guitar’ into epic radio and dancefloor DnB, the Brookes Brothers have also attracted remix work from the likes of chart toppers Wretch 32, Plan B, Crystal Fighters, and Maverick Sabre – as well as producing tracks for Example’s #1 album ‘Playing in the Shadows’.

Fresh from the BBC Radio 1 playlisted hit ‘Loveline’ released to wide acclaim on Breakbeat Kaos in late 2012, the legendary production team signed exclusively to the label they started out with, Viper Recordings. In August 2013 the Brothers released ‘Carry Me On’ (featuring Chrom3 on vocals) to high acclaim, being selected as Zane Lowe’s “Hottest Record in the World”, as well as making the BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra playlist and hitting #7 on the official UK Independent Charts. With a new album in the works for 2014, the most exciting chapter so far for the Brookes Brothers is about to emerge.
