Junglemire : Some Kind Of Acid [GCAF044]

“As we have already well-predicted on his debut release, Junglemire’s EP now goes in a new direction. Music inspired by his home sessions; prove to be an excellent introduction to his music. Playing with new equipment imaginatively, spinning knobs in all directions; he leads us to new unexplored areas of his musical expression.

Do not be fooled by the title Some Kind Of Acid because it has so many influences and layers from which you can observe it. Infectious dance tunes exquisitely performed where some of you will surely find links in music from 80s and early 90s.

Observing his musical progress so far inevitably arises one conclusion, his sound is now much richer with concrete fashioned ideas. Decided to record live sessions with perhaps little or no correction; give his music more prolific spontaneous sound, while remaining true to his musical style. Can we expect live gigs in the near future, because that lad certainly deserves it!?”

Relative Q : Removal EP [blpsq025]

“Put those synapses to work with these driving tracks from Pittsburgh-based Relative Q. Deep textures and spacey hypnotics indicate a lot of subtractive measures were taken to get those grooves removed from the mind of this ultrawizard and translated into audio sequences. Remixes rolled in from the nearby regions and even neighborhoods where blpsq HQ currently resides, where they further build on the moods and apply their own personal methods.”

Idealist : Defective Units [brq81]

“Being an idealist is noble and deserves endorsement. That is exactly the belief of our Zurich-based artist Bernhard Gietz (better known as ‘Berni’), who releases wonderful tracks in between dub techno and house under this moniker (Idealist) since a few years on labels such as Deep In Dub or Dreiton. His latest release on Broque, the Defective Units EP, is dedicated to the little flaws, imperfections and surprises one has to face when working with analogue devices such as the ones from the Roland TB family. What leads us to another one of Berni’s big and longstanding passions: Acid. However, Berni’s tracks are far from culminating into wild 303-infernos, but embed acid lines in a very elegant manner into floating dub techno grooves. While some tracks lean more towards their Basic Channel roots, others embrace warm Detroit techno soul, but they always manage to nonchalantly close the gap between contemporary club standards and the retrospective view into dub techno history. In between these explorations, Idealist also sneaked in ‘Bad Times’, a true hymn made of deep after hour nu-disco sounds together with heartwarming and shyly filtered hooklines, which provides the perfect soundtrack for welcoming the sunrise after a good night out. Who would have thought that the courage to embracing imperfectionism could lead to such a perfect release?”
