Introducing: Congi – Free D/L
Congi are G-A and Concept; two producers based in Nottingham, who have been working together since mid 2011. The Congi production style is certainly on the dark n weighty side of things. Sometimes it’s moody and fierce like ‘Awaken’ or smooth and soulful like ‘X’, but what strikes you most about the duo is their live warm sound and the organic feel to their tunes, which they say is a focus of their production. They’ve been kind enough to give us a free download entitled “One”, produced by themselves and Thief. You can grab it from the link below:

G-A and Concept go into producing in similar ways, both started experimenting with music programs when they were just youts and both studied music tech at a specialist college in Nottingham called Confetti. G-A is now in the final year of a degree in sound engineering. As you can imagine, music has been a big part of both their lives for the past five years or so.
Congi use a range of software: “The first set of songs we made together were on Cubase before moving to Reason for a change. We tend to cross between the two when we feel we’re tired of either platform. We also occasionally use Fruity Loops.” In terms of influences G-A finds inspiration in fresh material from new producers and Nottingham’s thriving scene. Concept on the other hand draws influence from his genre-spanning vinyl collection which he says is one of his most important possessions.
