Reuter 'n' Belter

Marrying cohesive melody presence with complex beat structures, Reuter and Belter construct their material using acoustic and electronic elements. The music is abstract, non-linear, and free-floating quality. R’n’Bs explorative tendencies prevent them from presenting their pieces as straight 4/4 electro, but such impulses also alienate those listeners wanting an easier foothold. An episodic hoedown that features rambunctious African drumming patterns coupled with electronic glissandi, vibes, talking drum, and acoustic bass, and at one point even spotlights a funky electro rhythm, thereby pointing out the connection between exotic and dance rhythms.
