DESOLAT 032EP
|
On the Bicept EP Jerome Sydenham takes time out from running his renowned house imprint Ibadan Records to deliver a fantastic four track for Desolat. "Bicept" is a driving house track with incessant warm bass which cleverly builds through smartly-placed additional crisp percussion and short, echoing vocal snippets. "This Door" features some serious funk, combining uplifting keys and warm pads. "With the Bone" is another dancefloor-focused track, and "The Jockey" sees Jerome combine brilliantly with Quell on hypnotic and hedonistic journey.

This is the debut album from Jerome Sydenham, founder of the Ibadan record label. What you hear on Animal Social Club is not really the rainforest, or the wilderness. Don't let your ears and eyes fool you. The primal edge, that instinct-driven music, raw and inviting, signals another meeting of the pack. And every time the wild ones get together, the quality of the sound is unmistakable. Breathe, dance, listen, drink your fill, take it all in: this is an environment where there are no inhibitions and spontaneity is everywhere, in everything. A place where house and techno are the heartbeat. This is the primal universe of the Animal Social Club. Guest contributions from Katsuya Sano, Quell, Aschka and Alessio Pagliaroli.

"Another raw tech-house experience from Jerome Sydenham's Jango Series, (Ibadan). 'Jango 02' is the second installment of the Jango series Sydenham is on a quest to supply certain missing elements of house while forging new musical paths into the future. Jango 2 exemplifies this truth. On this occasion we are taken on a journey that includes fierce beats, funky bass lines and Detroit-esque strings. 'Brooklyn Rock': Simple percussive grooves, rolling bass, and a killer hypnotic vocal hook make this dub version a true Brooklyn deep house gem! 'Footsteps of Phire (Jerome Sydenham's Jango Dub)': The almost unapproachable classic, installed into the Ibadan archives by legendary Baltimore Producer DJ Oji, has been remixed up by Jerome Sydenham. He utilizes a lot of the original rhythmic influences while in the bottom range he gives it a true new phat tech-house sensibility. Pumping stuff!"

"My Pet Gorilla is Jerome Sydenham's interpretation of rolling techno thunder. Energy, big kicks, fat bass lines and infectious piano chords. What you are left with is pure hands-in-the-air Apotek techno. Prime time business! 'Tonto' is a deep techno track with an immense groove accompanied by futuristic EFX, rhythms, and chords that forcefully exhibit Jerome Sydenham's consistency and forward thinking yet again. This deeply satisfying modern remedy represents in appropriate doses the meaning of deep tech syndrome for the psyche and the floor. 'Museum of Modern' is a tough and funky and minimal tech- house track. This edgy experience is filled with surprises. The groove gives way to an epic rise that collapses into an unforgettable breakdown. With no empty spaces Jerome Sydenham pushes the envelope to pump out this cross genre gem."

"'Darkroom': this is Jerome Sydenham's follow-up track to 'Blacktro,' the previous release on UK Promotions, which spurned worldwide critical acclaim. This time, Sydenham appeals to the same audience and fiercely concocts what can only be described as deep tech disco dub! The result is an ultra DJ tool that will surely stand the test of time. 'Sodom': utilizing the same deep tech disco dub flare, Sydenham layers this track with an array of simple, raw, '80s electronica keyboard sounds. These hooks drag you into an updated '80s UK/Chicago wonderland."

"Apotek Records serves up the 'GSXR 810' remixes featuring techno icons Adam Beyer and Ken Ishii. This track, originally produced by Jerome Sydenham for his Nagano Kitchen project, has now been subject to tremendous reworks by two legendary techno icons. Adam Beyer's body of work needs no introduction. He applies his excellence to 'GSXR 810' with searing techno beats tweaked with a barrage of sound effects and topped off with a subtle futuristic rave complexity. The results are nothing less than groundbreaking. Ken Ishii, the overlord of the Japanese techno scene, makes a rare appearance on a European label. On this journey, he takes us into the bowels of deep techno. Big kicks and deep melodic stabs also give this remix a tech-house appeal which rounds off a stunning 12" and makes for a great overall package."
