B2. Vers La (Art Bleek Street Demeanor Remix)

note: "French based label, Sharivari Records is a new vinyl and digital imprint run by Olivier Mutschler, focusing on a large variety of electronic music, from minimal techno to soulfull house, broken beat or Detroit influenced deep techno.

The first release is coming from Jeremy Carrasco and Johan Speissegger, aka Prime Time, parisian duo who has recently collaborated with Oxia on Goodlife Records.

On the A side, "Vers là" is an inspired patchwork of minimal sounds and jazz skills, starting with some blue and moody piano keys, quickly looped to create a groovy and percussive deep techno track. B side includes "Jeudi Noir", a dark and long build-up intensified by a haunting saxophon and strong percussions, and, at last but not least, "Vers là" remixed by Arthur Pochon, aka Art Bleek, well known for his works on Rush Hour, Loungin'Recordings, Resopal or Connaisseur. Mr. Bleek gives us here a funky and deep re-interpretation of the original track, with dynamic strings that could come directly from the motor city.

note: "Close Erase turned electric on their third album, Dance This (Bp 01010). Together with producer Reidar Skår, Close Erase released an album which redefines the standards of modern jazz music without compromises. With references to Miles Davis in the seventies, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and the Norwegian group Supersilent, Dance This appeals to a wide audience, stretching from dark clubs to jazznerds headphones. The album has received reviews comparable to standing ovations by most critics, including highest rating by Norwegian critic Terje Mosnes (Dagbladet).

Dance This was nominated for the Norwegian “Grammy”, Spellemannsprisen 2002 (jazz).Before their London debut 10.September 2002, the magazines The Wire and Jazz Wise has been shocked by this highly original trio."

note: next stronen/storlokken project on this blog. humcrush have gotten great at is their tendency to shift from free improv into rhythmic free jazz without you really realizing they’re doing it until suddenly there’s a structure that has tied all the disparate bits of noise together.
it's heavy-handed, thick blobs of white oil paint being dropped onto an easel and added to; as thick and fat as the album's cover art.
