For his first release with Artificial Dance, Black Merlin aka George Thompson takes a departure from the hard-wearing techno and intricate field recording work that he has come to be known for. Scape One is a fifteen-minute psychedelic diversion recorded in one continuous live session. While the track’s sonic characteristics may echo dance music from the turn of the millennium, its pulsating rhythm is more suggestive of the slowly evolving landscapes seen outside of a train window as opposed to raves from the late ‘90s.

Appearing on the B-side is Gordon Pohl’s remix of Scape One. Like its source material, this track is long and subtle in the way it develops over time, but Pohl dissects the most salient elements of the original to construct a new rhythmic urgency. The high frequency accent that guides the remix does so at a speed that recalls the rotations of Brion Gysin’s stroboscopic Dream Machine, which taps into your brain’s alpha waves, aiding drug-free hallucinations.

Pohl and Thompson are frequent collaborators and release music together as Karamika. While Scape One is not a collaboration in the strict sense, there is plenty of crossover in the working methodology of the two musicians, especially when it comes to constructing uncomplicated arrangements.

Records purchased from the Artificial Dance Bandcamp page come with a further two remixes by Pohl as digital-only bonus tracks.

Black Merlin - Scape One (AD014)

Ne vieną šaunią porą išskyrė pandemija ir karantinas. Taip nutiko ir su mūsų gerais draugais Amsterdame. Iš Beesmunt Soundsystem tandemo pernai liko BSS, mat vienas jo narių David nusprendė visą save atiduoti kitai gyvenimo aistrai ir didžėjaus ausines išmainė į fotoaparatą. Užtat Luigi tęsia veiklą ir siunčia muzikinį atviruką visiems puikiai pažįstamo festivalio dalyviams. Iš pirmo žvilgsnio užsimezgusi meilė žydi toliau ir čia yra geriausias to įrodymas.

Many great couples were divided by pandemic and quarantine. Formerly known as a duo, nowadays @beesmunt-soundsystem is a solo project run by a big man with a big heart. Luigi knows Ant Bangos vibe pretty well (been there done that) so the ultimate love can be fully felt in every minute of this well-balanced mix.

November’s mix is by Abel Minnee. Abel is a photographer and DJ from Amsterdam, and he made this exciting ride through the outskirts of many genres. A lyrical and seamless blend between country blues, 90’s rap, industrial and electro. Sort of a Coil grittily meets Tupac and Lightnin’ Hopkins blends in Lil Wayne gracefully gathering opposites.

De La Phoenix w/ Clicklounge- December 2020

À l’image de @neubauwien, son label qui a toujours un temps d’avance, @heapvienna est de ces artistes qui ne suit pas la route tracée des musiques club. Ici, le son est brut, l’avant-gardisme est palpable, les standards sont loin et l’atmosphère est lourde. Un podcast d’entre fêtes résolument hors du temps.

Just like Neubau, his label which is always one step ahead, Heap is one of those artists who doesn’t follow the path traced by club music. Here, the sound is raw, the avant-gardism is tangible, the standards are remote and the atmosphere is rough. A podcast of between festivities definitely out of time.
