DJ Devastate is finally ready to present his full-length debut album “Movement/Silence”. A record with mellow sounds and harmonies that touches the Jazz listener’s soul; a record with banging beats and scratches that makes the Hip-Hop heads nod.

The strength of DJ Devastate’s creation is in the combination, in the duality of the musical concept. He describes the title “Movement/Silence” as: “Music is all about catching a moment in time. This could be a single frame, a mental picture, a moment of clarity that fuels the feeling to create. To create music is to give birth to movement where there used to be silence.”

The album manifests sound best described as obscure and dirty, without loosing the soulful feeling of Jazz and Hip-Hop. It also marks a strong presence of the turntable, the importance of vinyl and the sounds that these mediums generate. A sound that g! ets filtered chopped and steered into distinct rhythmical patterns. The album is fully instrumental but features various musicians:
