Camo and Krooked uses amazing synthetics in “Further Away”

The album Between the Lines, an epic Drum & Bass remix album by Austrian duo Camo & Krooked, was released on Feb. 19. The album consists of remixes from artists, such as High Maintenance, BCee, InsideInfo, Submorphics, Metrik, and many more, including a few songs from the duo themselves.

Reinhard “Camo” Rietsch and Markus “Krooked” Wagner have been making music together since they met in 2007. They won Best Newcomer DJ’s at the 2010 Drum & Bass: Arena Awards, and put out two mixes for BBC Radio’s: one for Annie Nightingale and another for Fabio & Grooverider. Grooverider later said that Camo & Krooked are “one of the biggest talents in Drum & Bass.”

In this album, I enjoyed the mix of drum and bass due to its generally catchy nature and beat. My favorite song from the album is “Further Away” because of its catchy beat and amazing use of synthetics.

Personally, I wish Camo & Krooked made more of their own music instead of remixing music from other groups, because their production style in their own songs are amazing.
