Toru - Donato Dozzy | Afterhouse [2023]

Thrilled to present a legendary heavy weight of electro music on our KrakeCast series. DJ Maaco did bless the Sunday ravers at our Krake Festival this year with one of his unique performances under his Detroit In Effect alias. For two hours he transformed the garden of ://about blank into a fun park of electronic music, masterclass DJ art and some genuine entertainment. Luckily we could get his approval to share the first hour of the set with our online community to listen and make some moments of this day reliveable in your minds. So jump on the Detroit party train, enjoy yourself and the music!

We are more than pleased to bring these five special tracks from longtime friend cosmox into the world.

From day one we’ve witnessed his obsession for electronics. Manifested by throwing countless raves, co-running a label & nuclear studio bunker, playing otherworldly dj-sets and making mind-bending music. Now it’s time for his solo vinyl debut.

OTM001 is a blend between IDM, ambient and techno influenced pieces. A story which symbolizes a deeply shared connection and a transformative period in which cosmox expands his palette further into the sonic realm.

Thanks to our brother for the trust!

________________

Since 2019, Amsterdam-based curator Pieter Jansen has used his yeyeh label as a vehicle for carefully considered (and sometimes unlikely) ‘first time’ collaborations between different experimental and avant-garde artists including Eversines, Carolina Eyck, Greetje Bijma and Oceanic. 

He’s done it again on the imprint’s next release, which is the result of a week-long collaboration between Berlin-based Polish saxophonist/composer/producer Jerzy Maczyński (whose previous collaborative release with Waclaw Zimpel as Jerry&ThePelicanSystem appeared on yeyeh in 2021), celebrated Chicagoan DJ/producer Hieroglyphic Being, and Amsterdam-based electronic artist Rein De Sauvage Nolting (RDS, who originally functioned as recording and mix engineer) – as well as countless hours of intricate post-production. 

Those who attended Dekmantel Festival 2023, where Hieroglyphic Being and Maczyński performed live together as Universal Harmonies & Frequencies for the first time will know what to expect – namely far-sighted and futurist explorations that blur the boundaries between electronic-acoustic improvisation, avant-garde electronica, rhythmic ambient, free jazz and Hieroglyphic Being’s distinctively distorted, next-level Chicagoan rhythms. This act was accompanied by live visuals by Katarzyna Debska/VLF, who later created the artwork and visual language for the record release. 
That performance, which took place at Muziekgebouw/BIMhuis, occurred a little over 12 months after the week-long residency in a rented studio below Volkshotel that laid the foundations for the project. Over five days, Hieroglyphic Being (synthesisers, vocals) and Maczyński (saxophones, vocals) laid down 26 extended improvisations, with Rein de Sauvage Nolting not only acting as recording and mixing engineer, but also contributing artistic input. 

Following the session, Jansen and Rein Sauvage Nolting selected 13 tracks to provide the basis of an expansive double-vinyl album. While some of those spontaneous improvisations remain in-tact on Tune IN, many more were reconfigured, reworked and re-produced by Maczyński and Sauvage Nolting over over many months.Maczyński added more layers of instrumentation, creating a “whole band of reed instruments” using electronic tools – a method he previously utilized on 2021’s Jerry&ThePelicanSystem album, Sariani. 

As a result, Tune IN is an adventurous and experimental album rooted in real-time improvisation that not only reflects its’ creators’ unique musical personalities, but also delivers a genuinely unique and far-sighted collaborative sound. It begins with the stretched-out, slowly building brilliance of the title track – think waves of synth sounds, complimentary reed instrument motifs and spaced-out, effects laden beats – and ends with the hallucinatory exoticism of ‘Emerald Tablet’. 
In between, you’ll find forays into densely layered free-jazz (‘Can U Hear The Hum’), percussion-powered rhythmic cubism (‘Breaking Open The Head’), shuffling dancefloor tone poems (‘Multidimensional Transformation’, where Hieroglyphic Being delivers a typically spiritual spoken word monologue), becalmed ambient jazz (‘The Book of Forbidden Knowledge’), expansive synth-scapes (the Tangerine Dream-do-Sun Ra style ‘The Fifth Style’), dystopian drum machine-powered workouts (‘Searching 4 Spirituality Without Religion’) and countless, impossible-to-pigeonhole cuts that sit somewhere in between. It’s a magical and mystical meeting of musical minds that counts as one of the most expressive and inventive artistic collaborations of recent times.
