VARIOUS ARTISTS :: Futur[e]cho [CFM024]

“After months of planning and hard work, Cold Fiction Music’s third V.A. compilation arrives. Futur[e]cho began as an idea after the unexpected positive response of the first entirely dub-oriented release on the label: the DeepWarmth/Textural Being Split EP. Originally the idea of collecting people to work on a deep, dubby techno compilation album seemed too big for the scope of the label, but over time not only was the idea refined, but now the eight-month-long project is at an end, and the results are surprisingly good. The compilation, presented for your listening pleasure, features 11 notable artists in the present-day dubby, technoid scene. Coppice Halifax, Anton Mayer, Soap, Dublicator, Spiral Dub, Textural Being, ISA, DeepWarmth, As If, Spaceci and Fingers in the Noise all contribute works of art to the compilation, giving the final product a deep, ambient quality that was never anticipated when the idea was still just an idea.

And now, at long last, the release is open to the public, ready to make its mark in the history of Cold Fiction Music.”

OVERCAST SOUND // Holding Pattern Remixes [bsc_008]

“A follow-up to Overcast Sound’s first ep on basic_sounds, Holding Pattern Remixes takes the title track from the original ep and offers it up for remixing by three artists who have influenced the Canadian duo.

Chicago’s Area (aka m50) extends upon the dreamy deepness of the original, pulling sounds and patterns into the foreground to create a remarkably new groove. Hailing from France, Fingers in the Noise moves things into a grittier domain with a slightly overdriven low end and filtered swells that will surely please the dance floor. The most dramatic reworking comes from Vancouver’s The Automatic Message who strip the track of the more obvious dub techno references in favour of an ever-mutating techno excursion.”
