50WRMX 003EP
|
"Delirium Tremens," one of the more club-focused tracks of Benjamin Damage's Heliosphere (50 012CD/LP) album gets a remix treatment by Detroit techno legend Robert Hood. On the flipside, Benjamin reworks his own tune into an extended long version for maximum impact.

Genre-bender Phon.o finds new perfection in merging UK bass music with techno, garage and even house music. Not in a wild mash-up kind of way, but very organic and natural-sounding. "Schn33" is a guaranteed floor-filler for all kinds of dance music DJs. No matter where, no matter when, no matter what it's mixed with, this is an anthem. Perfectly supplemented with a strong B-side, this might be the strongest Phon.o single yet.

Gatefold double LP version. Modeselektor's 50 Weapons label releases the second artist album by Romanian Cosmin TRG. Since that debut, the now Berlin-based Cosmin has toured the globe, taking his rusted techno frequencies to places like Fabric, Berghain and Sónar, at the same time as releasing more essential EPs on Rush Hour and 50 Weapons. The new album marks something of a new direction for Cosmin, however -- it's a much more intricate affair that deals in plenty of fuzzy texture, percussive energy and his trademark skimming bottom-ends, but looks outside the techno world for its influences. As the artist himself explains, "The title references an ancient myth, but describes the very contemporary, impossible task of discerning between real and replicated, authentic and contrived. Coping with facts, objects and bodies, the necessity of 'making it,' fear of failure, fear of 'not being happy' are today's topics, and Gordian is my attempt at an exploration of those issues." Starting with the deep, alien-laced ambience of "New Structures for Loving," it's clear from the off Cosmin's production has continued to improve and evolve since Simulat. Abstract yet heartfelt, it's followed by the more implosive snare rattles and crossing synth lines of the title-track, which sounds like a factory gone feral. Opposing light with dark, density with space, tracks like "Desire Is Sovereign" manages to be both propulsive and cerebral. One thing that ties the album to Cosmin's nuanced back-catalog is the gauziness of tracks like "Divided By Design," where the distant hum of radio frequencies turn your thoughts to Cold War-era transmissions lost in blizzards of snow. Though the heads-down surges of tracks like "Semi Present" sure will work on the floor, there's an underlying narrative that makes this album as suitable for listening on headphones. Non-standard melodies, otherworldly blips and a ruined intergalactic energy seem to course throughout, truly transporting you to another world entirely.

50 026EP
|
Barely into his 20s, Jéremy Guindo-Zegiestowski's output has prodigiously burst onto a number of emerging labels, from his ambient percussive algorithms on the Youngunz Alpha EP to the garage house bravado of his Clek Clek Boom release Night/Brawl. Still, despite his effortless ability to channel different genres all over the musical map, there's a volatile tension that sometimes rears its head in Guindo's work, showing a duality that is engaging, confusing, and awe-inspiring.

Double LP version. Benjamin Damage presents his second album. Benjamin Damage's first single with Venom has already been a big underground club anthem in the UK. The track "Deeper" caught the attention of Modeselektor and became an instant classic in their DJ sets. Not long after, Benjamin had his first track released on a 50 Weapons split 10". With "Creeper," a collaboration with his old Swansea buddie Doc Daneeka, Benjamin delivered another dancefloor destroyer, released on 50 Weapons in early 2011. Only two years after his first track was released, Benjamin presented his first album They!Live, once again produced with Doc Daneeka. The pair used some Modeselektor recording off-time and produced the album in a period of six to eight weeks at Modeselektor's studio in Berlin. The trip to Berlin had a definitive influence on the sound of the album, successfully merging UK and Berlin styles. Everyone at 50 Weapons knew immediately that the album was something very special. The record was "album of the month" in De:Bug magazine, DJ Mag, The Independent, K Mag, and got brilliant reviews in many other magazines and online media around the globe. Soon after their temporary stay, both artists decided to move to Berlin. After two years of mainly collaborative work, the time had come for Benjamin to focus on some solo activities. He did a few remixes for Sizzar, Data Romance, and others, followed by a strong techno single named Swarm/Headache released in October 2012, once again on 50 Weapons. Heliosphere is a sonic sci-fi techno album reminiscent not just of early Plaid, Black Dog Productions, Boards Of Canada, or Luke Slater's 7th Plain project, but also dancefloor classics by the likes of Surgeon, Regis, Dave Clarke, and Jeff Mills, who all knew how to keep a crowd entertained. It brings to mind the flavor of 1994 without losing the sense that we're into 2013, as of now. Heliosphere is equally straight and beautiful, with ear-catching, murky numbers, and some merciless bangers and beautiful soundscapes ranging from melodic to dark, rough and sweet, all at once. Heliosphere is dance music with conviction.
