The Response Collective @ BPM
The Response Collective is the latest live music act to be confirmed on the lineup for the Pioneer Pro DJ Main Stage at BPM.
In a modern world where a computer can almost make music on its own, The Response Collective is still a band. Three people; a guitar player, a bassist / keyboardist and a turntablist are behind the instrumental music of The Response Collective. Their style has been described as a mixture of dance, chill out, rock, grooves and hip hop; but the band invites their audiences to make up their own mind.
Bands sometimes come together with a plan, whereas The Response Collective just evolved. It started when a turntablist went to a guitarist to learn some “riffs”. They actually started jamming – one guitar and two turntables. They enjoyed it and did it again, asking a keyboardist / bass player to join them. Three people in a room making music…tunes and beats and noises, and from nowhere this seemed suspiciously like a band!
The band’s debut album ‘The Documentary’ was released in June 2007 and features 14 tracks. The music is a combination of beats, samples, guitars, keyboards, bass and drums. As well as being a melodic and rhythmic experience the album features a general theme of expanding consciousness, quantum physics and the mysteries of our inner world and our outer universe.
