Delayscape – VCOs or DCOs EP {mtk199}

Artist: Delayscape
Title: VCOs or DCOs EP
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk199
Release Date: 2008/03/16

Danish idm musician Delayscape has been prolific since his debut ‘Everybody Drops’ release for Monotonik in 2006, with releases on netlabels including Acrylik, Musicartistry and Cold Room, and we’re delighted to welcome him back to us with the funky, borderline squelchy electronics of ‘VCOs or DCOS’.

It all starts out with ‘Patch Point Blank’, which throws around the fuzzy warbles in alluring ways, before ‘Breaking The Square Waves’ gets funkier still, with some surprisingly guttural synth noises and hippedup drums infusing the EP with a little grit.

Some of the later highlights of this 5-track EP include ‘2am’, which echoes out some almost dub techno effects, before ‘Trains Not Taken’ ends things up on an almost ’80s-infused Vangelis-y vibe, oddly but happily. Overall, a smileworthy second release for us – thanks to Delayscape again for proffering the goods.

Dan Carew – We Go Very Well Together {YKYK013}

Artist: Dan Carew
Title: We Go Very Well Together
Label: Yuki Yaki
Catalog #: YKYK013
Release Date: 2008/03/14

Indeed, Daniel’s first multiple track release is featuring six pieces – not to forget the four additional remixes – which undoubtedly go very well together, and which at the end of the day make this set of tracks feel like a neat little debut album.
Daniel is a real minimalist, somewhere inbetween electronica classicism and minimal house. Hardly to imagine that you could strip down a rhythm more efficiently down to its very basic sound bits and bytes, while being hopelessly in love with innocent melodies.
