EDLX 029EP
|
Defined by its gritty textures, fizzy white noise manipulations and a signature mechanical hum throughout, Black Acid reaffirmed Bryan Black as a formidable one to watch under his revised Blackasteroid guise. Perc, Alva Noto, Len Faki, Angel Costa, and DJ Emerson present a series of pithy reinventions of the EP's three lead tracks: "Black Acid," "Hydrogen" and "Pressure," turning in a thoroughly versatile remix package complete with fresh nuances ranging from peak-time basement material to more pensive headphone moments.

Bryan Black revises his Blackasteroid guise to present Black Acid: five tracks of lab-crafted techno, and a deeply groovy entry into the Electric Deluxe stable. From the EP's punchy title-track to the meticulous disorder surrounding "Hydrogen" and the palette of alien, mechanical sounds that proliferate throughout -- distinctly towards the EP's space-themed closers: "Pressure," "Lunar Landing," and "Lunar Escape" -- Black Acid is an inventive and intriguing record. Like some maverick alchemist, Bryan Black mixes drops of discordant, home-brewed noise with plenty of infectious, floor-ready rhythms.

Electric Deluxe are proud to announce a new collaboration from Raiz and Jeff Derringer. For their first studio effort together, Raiz and Jeff go straight for the jugular to deliver two pieces of dangerously robust, marching material. From the Berghain-ready "Deception" to the severely precise "Deceit," there's nothing misleading about the Deception EP's merciless floor orientations. Edit Select rounds off the EP with an atmospherically-charged remix that's as haunting as it is hypnotic.

Whetting appetites for Works, Brendon Moeller's ninth studio album, Electric Deluxe present the Wanderer EP, with remixes from Tommy Four Seven and Jonas Kopp. "Wanderer" nods to techno's dark and industrial side, while its crashing hats and surging bass allude to Berlin. Jonas Kopp toughens "Wanderer" into one of his signature, marching work-outs, sliced with urgent stabs. Tommy Four Seven picks up the track's shimmering melody in its pre-mastered state and tousles it with his distinctive bone-crushing beat work.

Electric Deluxe taps two of Brendon Moeller's tracks from Works (EDLX 025CD) for remixes. "Adjust to the Fading Light" sees a rare vocal refix from Ben Klock. Meanwhile, Moeller mutes the hats and brings the track's whirring dystopian bed to the fore with his "Echologist" version. "Writing Wrongs" is dragged to subaqueous depths by Rod Modell and Stephen Hitchell as cv313. Craig McWhinney takes "Writing Wrongs" in the other direction, soaring past Moeller's original on a hazy, sun-kissed dub trip.

Electric Deluxe are proud to announce the ninth studio album from dub techno purveyor Brendon Moeller. Conceived in late 2010 and inchoately developed during a spell in Amsterdam with EDLX head Jochem Paap overseeing the project, Works flaunts Moeller at the height of danceabilty while remaining true to his steeped lineage as a maker of textured, atmospheric and subaqueous electronic music. After the experimental Subterranean -- a near beatless record comprised from a single live mixdown of sounds collated over the course of a year under his Echologist moniker, Works shifts focus back to the dancefloor with a collection of propulsive techno tracks, saturated with the visceral groove that has come to define Moeller's discography. From the submerged and spacious "Writing Wrongs" and bleepy, strung-out antics of "Far Out" to the house-kissed "Take A Dive Into The Sound" and darker, chugging cuts that close Works, the album pools together the threads of a prolific production history, spanning almost two decades, into a single succinct album. With a particular nod to his other Beat Pharmacy alias -- affiliated exclusively with François K's Deep Space Media label and New York party -- Moeller's expansive output has fused dub and techno with jazz, Afrobeat and psychedelic pastiches to carry on as much as refashion the Basic Channel heritage into his own distinctive patois. But what makes Works a truly unique product is Paap's influence over the record. "Off The Grid," "Wanderer" and "Adjust To The Fading Light" are as some of the toughest bass-driven efforts from Moeller to date, balancing some of the album's brighter tracks like "In Pursuit" with techno's pounding, industrial heartbeat. The result is an eclectic imagining of the genre, showing the many sides and emotions of techno, and Moeller himself.

Workshops is a new experimental series by Phil Kieran and Jochem Paap (aka Speedy J), exploring the recording techniques used in the middle of the 20th century and dating right back to the mid-1950s. Volume 1 consists of three flowing tracks with an organic appeal. "Paint And Chemicals Dept. Dub" is the most dancefloor-focused of the bunch. "Wood And Organic Dept" drips with spaced-out sounds and "Wood And Organic Dept. Dub" is the heavy cousin of B1., which leads back to the dancefloor.

Back Pack Poets bumped into each other while touring in America. Due to bad weather, their flights got diverted to Alaska, where the three of them got stranded. All hotels were booked by other passengers in the same situation. Instead of hanging around the overcrowded airport, they decided to hit an Irish pub to get away from the chaos. After a few rounds of Jack Daniels to ease the sorrow of the situation the three comrades had found themselves in, inspiration struck.

Terence Fixmer's EP Le Terrible will cause some serious damage. It kicks off with "Le Terrible," a powerful monster of a techno track which pumps up your adrenaline with its pounding bass drum and hypnotic build-ups. "Concept C" features more experimental elements such as drone sounds and his ragged and slightly distorted signature bass. Marcel Dettmann's remix of "Dance Like Paranoid" wins you over with its carefully-arranged melody and drum pattern which creates a melancholic and timeless rave anthem.

Sstunning EP from Electric Deluxe mastermind Speedy J. "Shoegaze (Speedy J Out Of Focus Dub)" takes you right into the core of Speedy J's massive production wizardry. Amorphous drone sounds create a monumental space, while a pulsing sub-bass lures you into the groove. "Shoegaze (Edits Select Dub)" is up for serious dancefloor damage. A compressed yet heavy bass constantly rolls and pumps from below and the ethereal dub sounds create a hypnotic beast of a track.
