Me adding my onw lyrics to Aphex twin: Bbyhyonchord. I do not own the music, just the lyrics!

Aphex Twin: Bbydhyonchord ( with my own lyrics )

I found this WAV file from 6th Febuary 2006 on an old hard-drive, a live recording I made on a Korg Electribe ES-1 MkII.

This was made in one take, a live performance direct on this classic old skool sequencer & sampler unit. I had loaded in samples of Boards Of Canada's "Smokes Quantity" track ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhJ5TxQTSK8 ) from their 1998 album, Music Has The Right To Children. The resultant recording came out rather like a reconstruction of the original...

This forgotten track was found at a time when I had a spare afternoon so used the free time to make a music video for it ( see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhYza9V9S_Q ) using footage from a 1946 US War Office film called "A Tale of Two Cities" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXit97UP1IY ). I thought that the fuzzy analogue warmth of the synth samples and the effects used called for some old video footage full of distortion and artefacts, and the apocalyptic futurism of BOC's works have always made me think of nuclear destruction and the aftermath. Hope it goes down nicely!

Barro negro cassette, limited to 100

For nearly two decades, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma has led an ambitious and exploratory trail through a variety of sounds and genres. As a member of longtime underdogs Tarentel, Cantu-Ledesma broadened the horizons, challenged genre constraints, and pushed the boundaries of the entire post rock genre. Later, Jefre established with several experimental bands (the Alps, Portraits, Moholy-Nagy, etc.) and collaborative projects (Raum, with Grouper). But Jefre has also operated a bit behind the scenes, issuing heady sets of experimental music and film through Root Strata, the label he co-runs with Maxwell August Croy.

As a solo artist, Cantu-Ledesma creates deeply emotional sets of drone, noise, tape collage, and field recordings on the likes of Type, Mexican Summer, Digitalis, Students of Decay, and more. 

Jefre now joins Geographic North with In Summer, a cassette that furthers the nostalgia and melancholy portraits of 'A Year with 13 Moons' (2015 Mexican Summer) and 'Songs of Forgiveness' (2014 BARO) for briefer, yet more potent tape loop meditations. 

"Love's Refrain" opens the cassette by plunging into depths of reeling, Cocteau Twins-esque clouds of guitar and patient drum machine. Riddled with static and glorious, hypnotic tape warble, the song perfectly sets the stage for In Summer's emotional arc. "Little Deer Isle" meditates on a series of field recordings and unbelievable calmness.

"In Summer" exists in a rolling simmer of aural infidelity and physical, circumstantial magic. "Blue Nudes (I-IV)" creates a deep and undulating traipse through various vignettes of hope, love, loss, and admiration, while "Prelude" closes things out with a calm, understated but permeating sense of calm optimism.

Music collector, DJ and occasional artist/producer. DJ'ing since 1997, I play a wide range of music that is mainly focused on the deeper/dubbier shades of house, techno & electro. I also love all kinds of eclectic stuff including disco, boogie, Italo, synth pop, nu jazz, jazzdance, lounge, trip-hop, downtempo, dub, reggae, jungle, liquid drum & bass, IDM, electronica, Warp, Ninja Tune etc.

In summer 2013 I set up the Avenue Red (@avenue-red) imprint to push quality material from a wide plethora of DJs and artists who I have particular respect for in terms of their musical output, artistry and dedication to the cause.
