Yokoo & Haider Uppal Held-EP (Satya)

 

Title: Held EP

Artist: Yokoo & Haider Uppal

Label: Satya

Cat Number: SATYADGTL0022

Genre: Deep House

1: Held

2: Held (Mihai Popoviciu Remix)

3: Whatever She Wants

4: Whatever She Wants (YokoO Afterhours Love Mix)

A double-header of originals and remixes eh? So let’s dive in. ‘Held’ in its original form is characterised mainly by its respiratory beat pattern, along with a wistful vocal that drives it into a world of synth washes and airiness. Having said that, it retains a muscular drive and funky edge.  Mihai Popoviciu’s remix is smoother and, therefore, more conditioned to the rigours of the minimal/trance crossover. ‘Whatever She Wants’ deploys beats of a similar intensity to ‘Held’, and again makes good use of a vocal. It’s a more dramatic tune than ‘Held’, however. Yoko0’s remix sacrifices none of the original’s potency, pounding its way along its almost ten minute length with admirable ferocity, making strategic use of breakdowns in the process.

MJSB - 5 Rhythms (Create Define Release)

 

Title: 5 Rhythms

Artist: MJSB

Label: Create Define Release

Cat Number: CDR005

Genre: Techno

1: Install

2: Connect

3: Movement Meditation

4: One Last Thing

5: Movement Meditation (Detroit City Remix)

MJSB’s ‘5 Rhythms’ is just that. Four original tracks that utilise a shifting percussive pattern at various junctures, topped off with a Terrence Dixon remix of what is perhaps the heaviest of the four, ‘Movement Meditation.’ Both ‘Install’ and ‘Connect’ come in at similar points. The former paving the way for the more limber latter with its slightly more studied approach. Both tracks make imaginative use of a subtle sub bass and space feels more abundant the further one gets to the end of each. ‘Movement Meditation’ takes things deeper by virtue of its weightier beats, vocal sample and vital tribal embellishments. It’s high is really hit, however, with the addition of the keys, which quickly become a sonic g spot. ‘One Last Thing’ is crisper than its precedent, but with a similar degree of emphasis and drama. While Terrence Dixon evokes the spirit of mid nineties French trip hop to get things started with his remix. It’s a feeling that continues throughout the track, thanks to the whispering voice and the key stab, stretched to its limit as far as bpms are concerned, it’s by no means linear, nosebleed techno, using as it does a completely different range of abstract harmonic flourishes to gather its momentum.

The Advent - Passado Distante (Paraiso)

 

Title: Passado Distante

Artist: The Advent

Label: Paraiso

Cat Number: paraiso016

Genre: Techno

1: Driven

2: Circulate

3: Tres Trax

I can’t remember when I bought my first Advent record, sometime in the mid nineties for sure. Back then tracks on Internal, and later on Kombination Research were an uncompromising mix of heads down techno and often quite brutal electro. Anyway, I generalise to an extent her, and it’s the former that gets a rinse on this new EP for Paraiso, a Portuguese label that I’ve had the pleasure to review a few times on these pages. I have to say that I’m really not feeling this latest release from Cisco Ferreira though. Three formulaic, functional panel beater techno tracks which are largely anonymous and lack variety. There’s no doubt that as far as this approach is concerned, then these three tracks hit the nail squarely on the head. However, they lack distinction and are largely anonymous as a consequence.

JWS - My Mylar Lungs (Multidim Records)

 

Title: My Mylar Lungs

Artist: JWS

Label: Multidim Records

Cat Number: 

Genre: Minimal Folk Techno/Ambient

1: leaf blowr

2: gardn

3: sunbathr

4: 92’ point shoos

5: 92’ tutoo

6: flying buttrss

7: glu jemz

Although I have no idea what “minimal folk techno” is, I’m all for looking into its proclivities if pointed in the right direction. I suppose its an idea that’s been bubbling under for some time now. A lot of the music I’ve been sent over the past few years has had a pastoral veneer, existing within an inner landscape reared and nurtured in a rural environment. Up until now though, all of this bucolic hauntology has originated from Britain, particularly the south of England. ‘My Mylar Lungs’ - a title that feels very much at odds with its contents - comes from the US and is the work of Jeffrey Wentworth Stevens, aka JWS. And the impression it makes is a recognisable one, but also something that is difficult to categorise. Having said that, it broadly straddles the ambient/dubby divide. Perking up tonally 5 tracks in with ‘92’ tutoo’, a track which is brought into sharper relief by ‘flying buttrss’, only to dissipate into textural bliss in the shape of ‘ glu jemz’; the collectio0n starts with ‘leaf blowr’. A deceptively complex piece of deep, dawn of time beat – driven ambience, sounding not unlike an imaginary soundtrack accompanying the boat down the river Styx. On ‘gardn’ and ‘sunbathr’ there is development, with the former climbing down tonally from its predecessor, preparing the ground for the more bottom – heavy approach of what follows. In short, it undulates before the nursery rhyme fragility of ‘92’ point shoos’. Do I know what I’m talking about? Probably. Do these impressions have the slightest relevance to what I’m describing? Absolutely. Have I done this collection justice? God knows. I like it very much though, and really feel the effort and thought that has gone into its creation. It resonates with me, which is what really matters.
