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.”

K.FOG // The K-Series [MA031]

“K doesn’t stand for the usual clicks’n’cuts-sound that’s so popular nowadays. His interpretation of the term ‘Netmusic’ stands for trying out new ideas and leave old paths behind in favour of new spaces for interpretation.
This flexibility is one of the reasons why K.Fog, despite his releases on vinyl, keeps publishing on netlabels. His K-Series sees him reworking the old basic channel-sound and infusing it with new ideas – a distinct difference to what he has released so far. And surely a release that will provoke mixed responses since the fact that the tracks aren’t as precise and clear as usual leaves room for all kinds of interpretations.”

TEXTURAL BEING // Proximity [CFM021]

“Eight months after the split EP with DeepWarmth, Textural Being makes a return trip to Cold Fiction Music with an EP of all new tracks. The tone here is similar to the tracks from the split, but more careful attention to detail and composition was spent on the tracks in this EP, resulting in something denser and darker that listeners can really get lost in. A small, four track bonus EP is included with the release, containing tracks by AXS, Zzzzra, Anton Mayer and Blamstrain, re-envisioned by Textural Being.”
