Brother Blue : Royal Secret [BC37]

“Tim Gray hails from Portland, Oregon, and although many of you may already know him for his stellar releases as Ethernet at Kranky and Tanuki House at Occult Research, he debuts a new project at Recycled Plastics: Brother Blue. Brother Blue is Mr. Gray’s outlet for dub techno, pure and simple, and it delivers on that front in spades. Tim’s right at home with his machines and the evidence is in the sounds – deep, round basslines hugging clean-cut beatwork to make dancefloor-friendly grooves that still manage to sedate you at home. Layers of blue reverb that settle over watery synth drones and spattering chord stabs like a soft rain. Here, on his debut EP (which is a not-inconsiderable 50+ minutes long) Brother Blue establishes his intent with a cut taken from his forthcoming full-length (Gradual Brightening), and backing it with two excellent non-album cuts and a massive 20+ impressionistic remix from Coppice Halifax.”

Smooth : Vintage 02 [CYAN 043]

“As announced, the ‘vintage-series’ by Smooth continues. The second EP was exclusively produced using vintage gear like Roland TR-626, Roland MC-303, EMU ESI-4000 and the fantastic Roland D-50, besides some outboard effects.

Tracks somewhere between Dubtechno and Deep House, focused to rough chord sounds and warm, smooth filtered pads, from minimalism in sound to moving sound scapes and breathing noises. All that is in here, so grab it!”
