Extremely patient craftsman and brilliant artist - Joris Voorn. Fabric 83.

Joris Voorn - Fabric 83
21 august 2015 / cd, mixed / Fabric (London) [UK], fabric165
techno, dub techno, house, tech-house, deep house, ambient, downtempo
eclectic, colorful, gentle


[8.5] chrysoberyl
No artificial emphasis but catching lightness, freedom and rich color.
The combination of culture and precision.


Plastikman, Fennesz, Cobblestone Jazz, John Tejada, Wolfgang Voigt and many more...
discogs


Ekstremalnie cierpliwy rzemieślnik i znakomity artysta proponuje długą opowieść o wielce kompleksowej i pomysłowej budowie. Twór całościowo zbliża się do doskonałości, a co za tym idzie, niesłychanie ciężko wyłapać w nim najmocniejsze punkty. 
Skroplone poranną rosą sieci snują się przez najważniejsze rejony elektroniki, zwiewnie poruszając się między gatunkami, nawet w obrębie pojedynczych utworów. Zostaniemy uraczeni ambientem, dubem, różnymi odmianami house'u, techno, acidem i wieloma innymi. 
Fabric 83 zachwyca pełnymi smaku, wyrafinowania łączeniami tworzącymi nową jakość miksu i gromką inspirację, czy nawet wyznacznik dla nowych pokoleń dj-ów. Snującym się fantazmatom brak jest jednak dynamiki, co wcale nie świadczy o suchości, brak tu sztucznej emfazy i przejaskrawienia, nadrabiają: lekkość, swoboda i bogata barwa. Krawędzie miksu są obłe, nieostre, wręcz organiczne. Wielość niuansów - nawet po wielu odsłuchach - pozostaje niezliczona i zachęca do wciskania klawisza repeat.
Mimo wspomnianego braku uderzenia przez cały odsłuch nie schodziły mi rumieńce, a ochom i achom nie było końca. Ten miks nie ma sobie równych pod względem ilości przewertowanego materiału, w tym miejscu przypomina mi się, nieco już starawy, miks Yaca, właściwie miks-produkcja, zbudowany z sampli wyrwanych z produkcji 250 artystów.
Połączenie kultury i dokładności z kilkoma popisami.

chill: Jetone - Huntington



Ciało i ducha stabilizuje Jetone z płytki Autumnmonia, fizykomaterialny zbitek brzmień jesieni zmuszających do refleksji, zalanych atmosferyczną głębią. To przypomina trochę dub od Purl, aczkolwiek jest znacznie bardziej kameralne. Doglądane przez Tima Heckera zroszone pajęcze sieci pobrzdękują uwznioślając niedzielny chill-out.

About quality, I don't mind to do some kind of low-fi effect but it sounds in this way & rerender of the project isn't possible :)

Recently enjoyed: end of july


w tej serii będę dumnie wypinać pierś próbując subtelnie zasugerować kilka wydawnictw z mijającego preludium sezonu ogórkowego, kto zechce, ten znajdzie, oto i one:




tech-house, minimal techno

Rozchwytywana przez dj-ów, bounce'ująca epka na upalne dni.






techno, dub techno

Panowie wybierają coraz ciekawsze brzmienia.






Druga część sandwell district wydaje się znacznie ciekawsza od poprzedniczki, z której [SDLTD2], z czystym sumieniem mogę polecić kawałek artysty Silent Servant.





Iron Curtis & Leaves, Mahone, Nick Lawson, Sai - All Night Long Part I [16 july 2010, Morris Audio, MACE 051, 12"]
tech-house, deep house
!

Kolejna rewelacyjna epka z Morris Audio, artyści rozmarzonej nuty, niepozbawionej głębokiego basu. Na szczególną uwagę zasługuje kawałek Mahone.






downtempo, deep house
!

coś absolutnie niesamowitego. thanks for recommendation, doo_bioza!

download [VBR~180]




minimal techno, experimental, techno

przygaszone, egzotyczne rytmy w autystycznym transie.







tech-house, deep house, dub techno

czyli Mark Bell ze świetnym, dubującym tech-housem i niemniej intrygujący remix Langenberga.

PL [buy vinyl]




electro, house, skweee, techno

tym razem bardziej surowe od 'School Of Mesak', mniej funkujące, ale za to bardziej eksperymentalne skweee.





techno, dubstep

masywny, połamany dubstep.

note: młody brytyjski producent proponuje odskocznię od podkręconych, spitchowanych garage'owych produkcji. 
scenka rodzajowa: na stabilnej, nasłonecznionej, rytmicznej platformie jak gdyby beztrosko wachlują się dupy wytwarzając efekt low-fidelity. brązowe krągłości, miażdżący myślotok połączony z nieumiejętnością czerpania przyjemności z odpoczynku i urocza chmura feromonów nad spoconymi ciałami - po dłuższej obserwacji staje się jasnym, że o błogim relaksie mowy nie ma, przecie to pracoholiczki, prawdziwe uosobienie chaosu. ekhm...
Wyekstrahowany niepokój z BoC, zaznajomiona z zapisem nutowym Ikonika, Onra z ptaszkami na ramionach, beczkowerble Buriala i skradziony kosmos Actressa - niezły bigos, świetna produkcja. 'Taro' zamknie usta każdemu niedowiarkowi.

Dominic Maker & Kai Campos 


note: Adding a percussive and experimental edge to the current class of post-dubstep pioneers, Mount Kimbie, the duo of Dominic Maker and Kai Campos – are set to release their highly anticipated debut album ‘Crooks & Lovers’ on Scuba’s Hotflush label in July.

Mount Kimbie’s first two EPs – ‘Maybes’ and ‘Sketch On Glass’ – seemed like explorations of spaces so private that all within earshot were instantly turned into voyeurs. The experience was less like listening to music and more like eavesdropping on the machinations of a lone mind – albeit a lone mind surrounded by and retreating from millions of other minds.

Difficult to categorise, the lush EPs caused a commotion when released last year with ‘Sketch On Glass’ recently undergoing reworks from the likes of Falty DL, SCB (Scuba’s darker techno alias) and their sometime collaborator James Blake. With their own remixes (Foals and The xx) becoming hot property, Mount Kimbie have been a core part of the growing scene in London often associated with labels like Hyperdub and Hessle Audio.

Dom and Kai met whilst at Southbank University, pushed together in a student halls that was previously a mental asylum – where the ceilings were still ridiculously high to stop patients hanging themselves: “a cold, joyless, concrete building – the sort of building where you’d drop a pen and the sound would just go on and on in an echo.”


Armed with found sound snips and a siege mentality, Kai and Dom set about turning London’s ambience into rhythm, its chaos into coherence. Traces of influence remain – the hard-earned spaces of Burial and The Bug vie with the berserk melodrama of Xiu Xiu and Grouper’s sad-eyed glow, D’Angelo’s pervert soul gets cleansed in the intimacy of Phil Elvrum’s Microphones, Angelo Badalamenti’s swollen ‘Twin Peaks’ atmospheres find a cradle in Madlib’s lax lope.

The band’s sound and response to the dubstep moment is very much their own. Sceneless and untethered from etiquette and genre codes, ‘Crooks & Lovers’ floats through dubstep and hip-hop, jazz, techno and ambient, post-rock, UK garage and film scores to startling effect." - ST Holdings.

Pulshar - Sacrifice Of Love / Mantistyle (Remixed) [2010, vinyl, phonobox]



19 april 2010
lbl: Phonobox
#: Phonobox007
electronic
dub techno, minimal techno, downtempo
320kbps


A1. Sacrifice Of Love (Original Version)
A2. Mantistyle (Deep's Edayar Rmx)
B1. Sacrifice Of Love (Even Tuell Dancing Alone Now Rmx)
B2. Mantistyle (Sistema Rmx)





note: "If delays hadn't postponed the release of this latest Pulshar single until now, it would have marked 2009 as a nearly perfect musical year for Pablo Bolivar. With his excellent sophomore album Recall on Regular, a mix for the revitalised Galaktika label plus a handful of solid singles, the return of his Pulshar project was almost the icing on the cake. 

The new track, "Sacrifice of Love," from the Barcelona-based duo continues on from where the Brotherhood compilation left off, only here everything has a brighter air of pop sweetness to it. Sergio Aphro's vocal is breathy and comforting, whereas Bolivar opts for softer, almost cooing, synths. The dub elements may also be subtle, but they still cast a warm shadow beneath the shiny façade. 

Pulshar normally brings out the best in their remixers, though Even Tuell's mix is somewhat disappointing. The staccato loops of vocals and prismatic beats get burned out looking for something more, like a bass run or a continuous melodic element, to gel everything together and break the inertia. However, Deeps Edayar and Sistema's previously unreleased takes on "Mantistyle" more than make up the difference. Edayar's remix is sonorous and seductive deep house with a well worked dub techno growl at its core to add a gruff streak. Sistema's intriguing mix is from another world altogether, blending a big '80s electro drum sound, acid synth pads and melodic licks." - Chris Mann, RA.

note: "Active since 1995 as a live performer and producer of experimental electronic dance music, Bjørn Svin has released several albums and 12"s as well as music for films and theatre. In the late nineties he became a "techno pop-star" with the hit “Mer Strøm 2” and reached cult-status in most of Scandinavia. His new album BROWEN will be released on March by Danish Rump Recordings and it shows a different side of Bjørn as composer. The twelve tracks of the album take inspiration from the rhythmic richness of techno/i.d.m. music but add to the mix an experimental attitude. If tracks like "ROwmOR" or "mPmWree" show still traces of techno structures, others like the opening "Browen" or the following "bowbroW" are more experimental oriented thanks to an evolving flow of metallic sounds that form little melodic/rhythmic loops. Minimal tiny melodies change their sound from dissonant to melodic and clashes with other hundreds forming a constant flow of sound. Techno, dub (check the opening part of "mOmWree"), i.d.m., experimental influences blend very well giving to the listener an interesting and wide sound spectrum to explore." - noisebrigade.

kontrolowany chaos, odkrywany z niekłamaną przyjemnością. być może eksperyment roku.

producer: Filippo Paolini

samples from Aldo Kapi's works (Kyrgyz Composer, Kyzyl-Suu 12 September 1896 - Cholpon-Ata 11 May 1952)

note: "Okapi is Filippo Paolini, an Italian turntablist and sample cutup artist. Filippo has recorded as one half of the duo Metaxu (with Maurizio Martusciello) and also the trio Dogon, and he's performed on RAI (Italian state radio) and collaborated with noted avant-turntablist Christian Marclay.
Okapi uses his turntables and computer to create music completely outside of the hip-hop school of chopped up music.Instead he has created some albums that veers from orchestral to lounge to quirky experimental music, while maintaining a delicate and spacious sound throughout. His skill at sample manipulation is really quite amazing. In his live-set Okapi mix techno / broken beat / electro / 8-bit with melodies including klezmer, polk, childrens' music, idiot-pop,hawaian music."

"On Love Him, Italian turntablist and sampling artist, Økapi (Filippo Paolini), masterfully conducts a plundered symphony of more than 100 elements to celebrate the notorious Kyrgyz composer Aldo Kapi (1896-1952). Somewhere in between record digging, electro-acoustic tomfoolerly and slot-machine soundcards, lies the break-NOT-core, bubble-gum experimentalism of this new full-length from Italy's own "Daft Giraffe.""
