| With well over a decade's worth of production experience under his belt, 50Hz is surely one of New Zealand's most highly skilled electronic musicians. After a five-year absence, Wellington studio whiz Jeremy Geor, a.k.a. 50Hz, is back with his highly anticipated second album - another booming batch of beats and breaks.
A professional studio engineer by day, Jeremy has recorded and mixed music and sound for films, television shows and Royal New Zealand Ballet productions including Dracula and Ihi Frenzy. He's remixed everybody from The Nomad and The Black Seeds to the full New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, mixed and mastered EPs by Ebb and Footsouljahs and is LOOP's in-house masterer of compilation CDs.
On this new album Hz broadens his scope to include elements of dub, downbeat, hip-hop, jazz and funk. An impressive guest list of singers and players enlisted from around Aotearoa have helped flesh out a full live sound throughout the album.
The instrumental tracks on Carbon employ intricate arrangements and expansive live band instrumentation throughout, giving a cohesive feel to this stylistically diverse album.
"50Hz is a brilliant world class producer with massic music talent to amatch and 'Carbon is one of the coolest, most exciting and enjoyable albums." NZ Musician
It's become a cliche to mutter things like world class but that is exactly what Jeremy Geor, aka 50Hz's follow up to his debut album is." - The Dominion Post
"totally polished, totally international quality - this is sophisticated drum'n'bass, not jungle, not tech-step, it's listening more than dancing and is supreme. Smooth, seamless, atmospheric in the right way, with enough chops to give it life beyond the year it was made."
