TEAMACRE 008EP
|
"Hailing from the wilds of the Dorset border multi-instrumentalist William Yates has created a youtube phenomena with his freestyle approach to melding electronic and acoustic forms. Self taught to a frightening level of skill not only has he mastered instruments from the drums through to the clarinet, MPC and piano he has also developed his own arcane musical language which occupies the many leather bound black note books littering his outback lab. 'Multicolour' is a strangely pro-boogie introduction, here allowing his reluctant funk to pulsate under his brittle ice cold percussion. Pitch bent grooves and cracked harmonics combine to form an icey injection of nitro-funk. 'Bellatrix' continues to break ground combining eccentric arpeggiated noodles with spongey bass riffage to wrap around the darkness. Kick, Snare, Crackle.. we out! On remix duties we present hip hop wrongdoer, Lukid to further smash the mold. Here 'Multicolour' is dissolved in Lukid's acid broth only to be reanimated into 7min spooky epic with haunted grandfather clock percussion and a 4x4 kick deeper than Atlantis."

TEAMACRE 006EP
|
"With a discography reading like a handbook for the rum and uncanny, electronica mainstay Kelpe is an obvious graduate to the Team Acre-associated university of drum wrong and mutant fuzz. Here teaming up with multi-talented human rhythm machine Chris Walmsley (Voice of The Seven Woods, Broadcast, Psapp, etc.), Kelpe brings an EP that balances deftly between the sound of yesterday and tomorrow. 'Margins' is a wriggling slice of traditional drum funk. The steady gallop is haunted by holy ghost rousing keys, zap anomalies and unearthly guitar work. 'No Film' is a moody and low-slung drum excursion. Intricate rhythms provide the solid foundation for unsettling synth work and fragmented stabs of citric sound. 'Toy Castle' is pure bounce, the pounding kicks push the soundscape through the dance and the sonic scenery is littered with hidden artifacts. The final excursion here is a trip to the lab with 'Taps On.' Initially, it is the most soothing of the bunch, giving nods to Dilla or ATCQ's more soulful offerings. 'Taps On' continues its journey through cut and paste territories and rhythmic breakdowns. All together a potent brew of electronic voodoo."
