V/A PRODUCER 2

Like the Producer 1 series this also got introduced by a 7inch teas series including ridiculous releases by Mike Slott/Dabrye, Low Limit/Dibaise, Mono/Poly / Illum Sphere, Devonwho/D-Bridge, all producers within the abstract beats, hip-hop electronics, post IDM/glitch field. The selection gives a state-of-the-art overview of the internationality of the scenes. American, british and European producers are next to each other slightly within their parameters but overall representing a sound and tate of production. Lately we’ve seen producers using seventies psychedelia which we also represented on the record. Other producers involved are Carlos Y Gaby, Blackpocket, Tandy Love, and the Brainfeeders Martyn and Daedelus.
The whole record is warm, subtle produced with some comforting soul (mono/poly), stuttering beats (Low Limit), spacy techno (by Martyn). Favorite tracks are by Mike Slott, Tandy Love (pure instruments with some heavy grain), Dibaise (supreme beats covered with sample fire on top), Dabrye (because I love his beats and synth lines), The Harmonic 313 remix of Eris Lau (H313′s electro sound is superior to almost everything).

HEXSTATIC Gammera EP

March 22nd 2010 by SIMcommander | Tags: , , , ,

Gammera – a giant, fire-breathing turtle monster – from his millions of years of hibernation. Enraged at being roused from such a sound sleep, he takes it out on Tokyo.
The Hexstatic team creates from the sound samples of the Japanese cult film, a b-film version of Godzilla exploring radio-activity, a massive dubstep banger. The remixes are by George Lenton, which starts even thicker like a hurdle of hippos through a mall and moves to a ganja stepper and kills the floor by mayhem in a pulp-over-the-top-tradition. The other remix is by Akira Kiteshi and he knows how to handle trash movie samples (remember the recent Ming, The Merciless. Also a video edit by Hexstatic!!). It brings back the days of mid 90ies when using movie samples was more common….

We also put the newest Hexstatic mixtape (we collect them) in this post

LOW LIMIT vs LANDO KAL The Golden Handshake EP

March 20th 2010 by SIMcommander | Tags: , , ,

Low Limit vs. Lando Kal is Lazer Swords‘ inner battle (Both are full members of LS). If you look at their Lazer Sword productions you hear electronics from the electro side mixing rave with arcade fire and Low Limit solo projects always treat us on some skewed hip hop beats. This EP is the perfect blend of their worlds. Some magic knob twisting, redirected samples, magic beat programming and beautiful layers of samples.

The opener 3D Action Jackson by Lando Kal sets it of in a more then epic way: Stomping, growling as a raver but stuttering at the same time covered with nasty keyboard sounds. The rest continues with this treat. Layers of arcade lazer fire, pounding beats, 8bit twists sucking funky bass lines. It’s totally covered with what we need and what we want to loose control (like we ever did…)!!! The flip side is as epic if not even more. Where You Been 7.5 by Low Limit is pushy with some twisted airhorn, arcadian madness. The flip ends with an over intense piece with finds its equivalents in works by Autechre or AFX (without their freaky beats) but it gets in your bones and sticks in your head…..WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. Pure mayhem.

PAUL WHITE My Guitar Whales

March 17th 2010 by SIMcommander | Tags: ,

My Guitar Whales will be the first single from the forthcoming second album of Paul White. The title song of this 7 inch is an accumulation of influences going from psychedelia, freak folk, hip hop over pounding drums pushy bass lines. The flip is based on repetitive chords on a piano, like a Steve Reich or Philip Glass 70ies piece, covered with samples, soundscapes, voices. It’s pushy and dreamy at the same time.
The Paul White & The Purple Brain,  the follow-up to 2009’s The Strange Dreams will be co-released by One-Handed Music and Stones Throw sister label Now-Again in June.
