In 1995, British electronic duo Fila Brazillia released one of their most influential albums, Maim That Tune, which was not just a continuation of their creative line, but a real breakthrough in the world of downtempo, lounge and eclectic electronica.
Maim That Tune sounds like a carefree journey through stylistic chaos: there are breakbeats, dub, hip-hop and jazz, all harmoniously intertwined into a single organic texture. This is not dance music in the classical sense, but rather a soundtrack for a night-time city drift or intellectual relaxation.
This release was decisive not only for the duo itself, but also for a whole wave of 90s electronic music, which today is called ‘chillout’ or ‘downtempo’. And despite its stylistic diversity, Maim That Tune sounds amazingly coherent and relevant today.
