BitBasic – Grating Rainbows {mtk186}

Artist: BitBasic
Title:
Grating Rainbows
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
mtk186
Release Date:
2007/07/01


A triumphant Monotonik debut from glitched-up UK resident BitBasic, whose ‘Grating Rainbows’ EP speeds through 8 tracks in just 18 minutes, and offers a whirlwhind tour to some deliciously cut-up drill & bass action, someone between early Squarepusher, our very own Beak, and somewhere entirely new. Hawesome.

Things start out with the loopy, surreal ‘Soap’, before the lush, hiphop-infused ‘Emaze’ wanders into view, all lyrical jazz riffs and drilled-up drums, gloriously sunny throughout. And what else? Ah, ‘Amen Break Steals The Show’ features an appearance from our favorite loop, apparently, and title track ‘Grating Rainbows’ is light, fleet, and funky as hell.

Overall, then, quite different from some of the more austere, symphonic idm Monotonik puts out, but a floatier, lightier, funkier approach for the summer makes everyone happy, not least our listeners – and we hope to hear more from the dazzling complexities of BitBasic soon.

’82nd Ave – Crowd Of Zero {YKYK011}

Artist: ’82nd Ave
Title:
Crowd Of Zero
Label:
 Yuki Yaki
Catalog #:
YKYK011
Release Date:
2007/06/21


It is commonplace: The older you get, the less things happen to you for the very first time – and also the less things you will hear for the first time. This means of course, the more music you have listened to so far, the more seldom you can experience sounds that feel really new, fresh or unprecedentedly existing. Well, this 11th Yuki Yaki-release by ’82nd ave, named “Crowd Of Zero”, is nothing like nova musica, but its easiness and temperament, shown in songs like “Commuter Belt Booty Bass” or “Clear The Floor”, feel really fresh and activate affectively a swinging nod, that sometimes even could extend to an uncontrollable jerking of the leg.
And this is exactly what this kind of music is made for. Let us rock! David Williams himself supposes about the music of his debut album, that it is made for left-foot music lovers that are not able to dance really well. And if they dare to dance anyway, they nod their heads while moving their arms like clairvoyants asking their crystal balls – but all in all, they are relatively grounded somehow. Still, the music of ’82nd ave is only partly down-to-earth. The sound of the tracks of the E.P. sometimes is playfully cacophonic, sometimes harmonious and mellow, but always complex and entertaining. Now then: Have a nice trip!

Idmonster – Preloved EP {mtk185}

Artist: Idmonster
Title:
Preloved EP
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
mtk185
Release Date:
2007/06/17


After a long absence from Monotonik (his last release for us was back in 2002!), we’re delighted to welcome back UK-based musician Pendle Poucher, aka Idmonster, with a 3-track compilation of rather wonderfully varied electronic music, ‘Preloved EP’.

Nowadays, Poucher works as a documentary and TV series musician for a number of UK and Japanese shows, including “new Japanese Discovery Channel idents that i’m very proud of”, he tells us, as well as providing all of the audio for the BBC’s interactive history game CDX – and also somewhat oddly cowrote a ‘club smash’ with high-profile U.S. DJ Robbie Rivera. Hey, eclecticism is the root of all wonder!

Anyhow, the three tracks in this release successfully show off that eclecticism, with ‘Close Harness’ showcasing an almost Underworld or Fluke-ish groove in an understated, serene track, before ‘Charlie’s Orbit’ spirals off into abstract groove, with some pretty interesting loping percussion, before we finish out with the all out freak-out of ‘The Dog Under The Skin’, which shows off a heavy, intense feeling of dread – and we love it. Welcome back, Mr. Idmonster!
