about

Bay 6 Recordings return with Still Here / Down With U, the latest release by producer Option. Hailing from Maui, Hawaii; Option's silky take on drum & bass has landed him releases on labels such as Detached Audio and Calibrate Records. With Still Here / Down With U, he drafts in Newport-based MC Fernquest, delivering a vocal and instrumental track with an untroubled vibe.

'Still Here' is a tranquil drum & bass cut. Serene pad arrangements and soulful vocal samples make up the intro, with rising drum programming entering the mix as the track progresses. Eventually, the tune unfurls. Melodies blend into one another like a light show in the gentle rain, while motion-blur percussion drives things forward.

Gliding atop the sonic palette is Welsh MC, Fernquest. He reminds the listeners to stay grounded in the face of adversity, taking stock in his journey so far and extolls the virtues of a carefree life. As Fernquest's vocal departs the mix, 'Still Here' moves into chill-out territory, a deep sax riff ringing out over the rhythm section.

'Down With U' is the single's second track. Here, rolling percussion makes up the bulk of the mix while muted chords play out in the background. As the tune unfolds, melodies phase in and out of the mix.
