REDIMEN 005EP
|
Fur Coat join Joseph Capriati's Redimension label with Repeat EP, an excursion into melodic, dancefloor power. The duo explores steely techno in four warehouse-ready tracks which unfold over extended run times. The eerie synth line, wall-shaking kick drums, and vocal sample of "Repeat" set the tone before "Mercury Retrograde" continues with a heavy, eyes-down pulse. On the flip, "Cygnus" soars into an epic crescendo before "Messenger Of God" complete a slick EP that shows Fur Coat to be masters of their sound.

WG 045EP
|
The Venezuelan duo Fur Coat, follow up their Watergate Records debut Interstellar EP (WG 034EP, 2016), with Immersion EP. "Immersion" kicks off with an agile kick drum setting the stage for rapid fire percussion and an overwhelmingly satisfying ascending organ line that could be the trademark of any sci-fi film score. Add a few shudders of glimmering atmospherics and it's a trek into the cosmic realm of techno. The duo dive deeper into the infinite expanse with "Inner Circle" where lush textures canvas a mesmerizing groove and hypnotic spirals of gratifying repetitive sonics resulting in an energetic and euphoric expedition.

WG 034EP

The flip side sees the two join forces with the sultry voice of Delhia de France on "Desire Of Mine" creating a deeply emotional tune that pulses with climactic fever. Ruede expertly twists the original "Desire Of Mine" with his unique brushstroke of sweltering organic percussion and infectious atmospheres ideal for a multitude of events.

However you describe riveting Venezuelan-born, Barcelona-based duo Fur Coat's style, there's no denying that theirs is very much the sound of now. Fusing bold, dramatic synth lines with heady atmospherics and rhythms that seamlessly blend the organic and electronic, they have won fans far and wide with their releases on Crosstown Rebels, Hot Creations, Culprit, Get Physical, My Favorite Robot, and BPitch Control, and debuted at #66 in Resident Advisor's Top 100 DJs of 2014. Their mix for Balance is their first official compilation, following online mixes for the likes of Red Bull Music Academy, Deep House Amsterdam, and Rinse. "We mixed the compilation live in Barcelona, at Israel's house, with TRAKTOR and an Allen and Heath mixer. We really wanted to have that DJ feeling, the actual feeling of it being mix; not just dropping the tracks on Ableton and mapping automations" --Fur Coat. We begin in deep and mysterious fashion with the throbbing beats of Mathew Jonson and The Mole's remix of Tobias and the spooky afro-tech of Masomenos, before the soaring riffs of Patlac's remix of Embassy of Joy. Âme's classic Akabu remix sends the mix into spine-tingling overdrive, with Chardronnet & Afrilounge (feat. Phetote the Poet) in hot pursuit. Francesca Lombardo plunges us into a more hypnotic place, teeing up Radio Slave's incessant Tokyo Black Star remix and more introspective, subtle material from Cesare vs Disorder and Luke Slater (the latter remixing Slam). Efdemin's remix of Simon Flower's "Phosphenes" continues to delve into the deepest reaches of Fur Coat's record box -- all throbbing low-end and mind-bending slivers of sound. Fur Coat's exclusive "Monday" -- made specially for this compilation -- brings the mix out of its depths with bold lead lines, twinkling arps, and plump bass toms. Agoria's haunting Metronomy remix increases the tension, segueing into the mesmerizing melodies of Fur Coat's now-classic "U Turn." The grunting synths of Roman Flügel's "O.T.H." provide some relief from the tension, before Malandra Jr's "Infinity" brings back the brooding feel. DJ Koze's "Mariposa" provides the perfect foil to its predecessor, maintaining a sense of majesty while bringing the energy down to a simmer. Barnt's tough-edged, industrious remix of Michael Mayer's "Voigt Kampff Test" brings the mix to a rousing close with eerie melody and swathes of fizzing white noise. As a whole, it's a very cohesive listen that manages to sound at once contemporary and classic.
