Strad : Atomic Tonic [iD.071]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“A tonic is usually referred to as a means to invigorate and build one up. But in order to prepare a tonic, one needs to break down its components first, to grind them up, mix them into one another, give the whole lot a boil and let it reduce on a slow simmer.

On his aptly titled iD.EOLOGY debut, Strad concocts his own brew of complex flavours with a vitalizing effect. He splits, cuts and chops Jazz, Funk and Hiphop down into their basic essentials, and re-composes the pieces according to his own taste. A shot of Lounge goes in for extra smoothness, as well as a tablespoon each of Electronica and Drum’n’Bass to add some spice.

Strad’s final blend has an overall dark, earthy tone, a texture like velvet and a silky shine. And being the connoisseur you are, its rich and deep aroma will keep you intrigued and entertained for almost an hour. Rest assured, though, that its inspiring and refreshing influence will last with you for a whole lot longer.”

Pedro Helvete : EP 1 – 3 [bump178]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“The first two tracks (Insane Aerobics and Talán) were born from some eclectic electric style, influeced by dubstep and triphop. The next two (Slowed Reflexes and Chestnut Trees) go along the ambient and chill out line. The final three (Ilona Staller, The Space Queen and Barbarella) retrospect the ’70s italian space techno era. The 3 EPs are mixed from various styles but make a whole piece together. These tracks were mixed between April and June of 2012. In three tracks, female vocal themes were created and featured by MoSu. Cover by Kitti Godó.”

Maed Meva : Figures [export10]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Export Label proudly presents an EP that is a result of a collaboration between a producer – Maed, and a turntablist – Meva. It is a mix of down tempo compositions and subtle scratching.
After a long break, Maed returns to his musical roots. Over the past few months he’s been preoccupied with his project Deam, where he’s been introducing his own vision of electronic club music to Polish audiences. But now, he’s decided to bring back what he’s best known for – instrumental hip – hop. His first record was released in 2008 by the 16 Verses Label. It was an album inspired by the likes of Madlib, Bonobo and Kero-One, all fused into an original vision of Maed. In this new release, one can hear how much has changed since the first record. Maed has grown, training himself in the post – hop – hop sounds of artists like Flying Lotus or Teebs.
Meva’s scratches are the perfect supplement for Maed’s beats. Meva has been scratching since 2006, when he put down his electric guitar and bought a pair of turntables. He is a veteran of scratch sessions, workshops and battles all around Poland. Meva hails from the new school generation of scratch musicians, but in his recording debut he resisted the temptation to use well – known samples and sentences. His cuts are specially selected sounds that fit perfectly into the melancholic music of Maed.
As a bonus, the listener will get a track called ‘Atak Robotów’ (‘Alien’s Attack’). Maed recorded it with Meva and Lapsky (Polish DJ champion) for a Ukrainian – Polish compilation called “It’s not boring – It’s ambient”.
In ‘Figures’ the listener finds a modest, decently made scratch – music suite. It is not devoid of a jazz feeling, one that is pumping some fresh air into the ever-present, overhyped laptop beats. It is an EP on a juncture, one between electronic music and jazz, turntables and beat machines. Fans of Ricci Rucker or Onra will feel at home.”
