This week's Disquiet Junto assignment was to do a Pig Latin version of an existing piece of music. I decided to try something with my track Ottomans off my 2018 album 'Everything Happens, For Some Reason'. Original track is here: https://soundcloud.com/nonwrestler/jet-jaguar-ottomans

'Ottomans' is in polymeter - the different instrumental parts are in different time signatures. I wanted to work with something using polymeter because in Pig Latin it's not like you force the "ay" syllable in at regular time intervals - you do it according to the length of the word. 

So I decided to play an A at the end of very bar of the existing phrases, pushing out the original time signature of each phrase. I had to push the whole track down a semitone to make this in key. 

Then, say the original phrase was 4 bars of 4/4, I turned it into 4 bars of 5/4. with an A playing on the 5th beat of every bar. For the original 4 beats I reshuffled them like you would with Pig Latin, so instead of going 1 2 3 4 A, it goes 2 3 4 1 A. I followed the same kind of idea always inserting an A for a crotchet length at the end of each bar, e.g. turning bars of 7/8 into 9/8 and so on.

I made basically no changes to the arrangement of the original track, like when things fade in and out, but the different length phrases change things quite a bit to my ears.

After dancing on his music all summer thanks to amazing track “Stolen Reality”
featured on BAF002 together with the Varoslav Remix here is BAFDIGI005, the full EP from our german wonderboy Elef. Next to the tracks just mentioned we have the additional version of our friends Dualton (Defected / Systematic) re-editing the original mix into a more minimal deep cut that got already the support of all european greatest artists during Sonar 2011 in Barcelona and that we’re sure you’ll dig during the next months thanks to the groovy attitude for which Robert and Patrick got known for. As perfect conclusion of this new chapter of BAF’s history we have another massive track “Memory Efx” that shows us a more underground side of Elef’s music focused on a more atmospheric mood but never forgetting what dancefloor was made for!

There's definitely no need to introduce two of Back And Forth's milestones as the greeks Fog & Echonomist and this BAFDIGI023 is definitely a fantastic return for these guys and soon will be also followed by a remix pack that will see the 3 tracks reshaped by some well known names but ok... let's not reveal more and let's focus on this stunning "Palomino EP". The Athens based Fog and the Thessaloniki based Echonomist this time deliver a sexy, deep and warm package composed by main theme "Palomino" plus two more cuts called "Slo-Mo Tribute" and "You Ain't A Brotha". We won't invest more words describing this Ep, music will be the answer to all your questions. We make music with the heart!

Curly Project & aEn feat. Vidal - I Want You Back

Experiment in slowing tempo. This is  Arturia Pigments, Klevgrand Hillman and Klevgrand Skaka being slowed from 200bpm to 20bpm before fading out completely. The three are processed through AudioThing's Wires and Waveshaper's Echo Cat for some distress and warble. The Skaka track is doubled before passing the original tracks through Eventide's Physion. Then all tracks are passed through Puremagnetik's Pastfabric and finally Eventide's Blackhole.

awaiting inertia (disquiet0462)

Back And Forth is the new label created in january 2011 by Nicola Sansoni, member of the venetian duo Cosmic Cowboys, with the target of exploring the obscure depths of club music. 

This new label wants to cross the borders between deep, tech and house, melting all the musical backgrounds and experiences of each artists into a common way of thinking about music and a unique idea of what music should represent: respect, love for the quality and the details, friendship and collaboration, all resumed in the concept: "Love Comes First". 

Representing some of the best new names in Europe, Back And Forth is definitely going to be one of the labels to watch out in the next years, receiving already the support of all the finest djs worldwide.
