ATCK 030EP
|
Up next on A Tribe Called Kotori, the label welcomes Berlin's very own Madmotormiquel -- all set and ready to storm the house after several transmissions on an array of quality outlets, including Katermukke. His maiden incursion on the label, Bombo>, comes in a hand-designed sleeves, each designed by Chrisse Kunst and Madmotormiquel himself, making these collectible one-off pieces of art to adorn your shelves with. Opening cut and lead-single "Bombo" sets the wheels in motion at a slow and steady rate, progressively fleshing out its initially stripped-back funkiness with a polychromatic webwork of tribal rhythms, spectral synth murk and frizzling machine talk. The quirky "Kohiko" serves up a mischievous buffet of further syncopated moves and chirpy chimes pouring in cascades as a sturdy bass unfalteringly dictates the momentum. Shifting the scope to no-nonsense floor-busting objectives in its first stages, "Timezone Chaser" slowly evolves from sheer DJ functionality to jazzed-up abstraction through perfectly inlaid superimpositions of processed clarinets, dubbed-out drums and an overall hazy sound design to satisfyingly lose yourself in. EP closer "Rodrigues" opts for a more jagged approach, as it fuses skittish snares and hats at the fore with deep and vaporous pad tapestries in the background, resulting in the kind of heavily FX-layered, acid-leaning sleepwalker that'll keep the dancers' legs in motion even though their eyes seem shuttered. Includes download with one additional track.

ACKER 044EP
|
With remarkably smooth skills, Madmotormiquel threads his audio tracks through genres and stylistic hints, creating harmonic coherence from elements that seem to be contrary. On "In Daddy Are You Proud," the producer spreads jazzy piano samples and poetic rap among a booming bass line and whipping hi-hats. The atmospheric dynamics of "Recall" evolve as a result of rhythmic chain reactions in the lower and upper frequency spectrum, diffusing into the twilight of dramatic pad sounds. " Too Much Money Not Enough Style," offers a beautiful contrast between a dreamy piano and bubbling beats. Includes a remix from Mollono.Bass.
