Borai - Runnin' [Infiltrate]
Artist : Borai
Track : Runnin'
Release : Flutta 12'' Vinyl Record
Date : Mar 2020
Label : Infiltrate
The latest drop on Constant Sound's electro branch, Infiltrate, comes from wild-card Bristolian chameleon Borai. When he's not dropping tuff, jungle-hewed rave wreckers for Hotline and Higher Level he's collaborating with October on refined house bumpers or dread-filled noise excursions in Spiritflesh. As if that wasn't enough, here he is turning his hand to genuinely fresh twists on the electro formula - a breath of fresh air in a crowded marketplace. "Flutta" keeps things snappy and decidedly pacey, but the overall mood is really quite light, while on "Rashaba" things get much darker, to an almost theatrical degree. Some of that breakbeat ruffness sneaks in on "Runnin" and then a little garage swing offsets the dubbed out showers of melody and cheeky rave stabs on EP closer "Narroways". Stunning stuff.
Borai.
It doesn’t take long to notice Borai’s over-whelming passion for sound. The Bristol based artist has been flinging himself into every possible avenue of musical activity since first being bitten by the jungle bug in the early 90s. As with any character..
As a recording artist, he has already built up a strong array of releases that touch upon his love of house music, channeled through his embrace of hardware-focused production. Berlin-based labels Jackoff and Retrofit have presented Borai tracks across a spread of 12”s, while in the US he has delivered singles to Tasteful Nudes, Argot Records’ internationally-focused sister label, as well as contributing to Volume 4 of the Cahoots series. Closer to home, a lasting partnership with fellow Bristolian October has resulted in lauded releases for labels such as Simple, Applepips, BRSTL and more besides.
Outside of his studio endeavours, Borai has been DJing for more than 15 years, bringing an effusive energy to any number of styles from dancehall to dubstep through to house and of course his first love, jungle. This melting pot of inspirational reference points simmer into his creative DNA, equally fuelled by years spent working in record shops across Bristol.
Alongside his personal studio work, he has also immersed himself in the arcane world of dubplate cutting at Bristol’s Dubstudio. It’s this diversity of engagement with sonics that makes Borai such an interesting character within the rapid-fire, disposable culture of so much electronic music. Set him off talking about dub mixing tricks on analogue desks and you’ll just as likely wind up discussing the finer points of Helter Skelter rave tapes from 1992. Taking such timeless cues and embracing the eclectic nature of the modern dance, Borai’s future looks to be just as bright as his present.(Source RA)
