Mysteries of the Deep LXXXVI - EVAN CAMINITI

Donato Dozzy played an immaculate, mind-bending two hours of ambient, hip-hop, acid, techno, drum & bass and lots more at our Alternate Cuts party in Manchester with Absolut and Meat Free.

Alternate Cuts: Donato Dozzy (No Boundaries Set)

@claywilson and @turiyarrao have only performed publicly together a couple times, but they’ve been deep in their Brooklyn studio working on a new EP for The Bunker NY in addition to both of their head-spinning solo productions. rrao's debut production appeared on the 15 Years of The Bunker compilation and she has a remix on the Clay Wilson "Osho" EP that comes out on May 18 on The Bunker NY. You can catch Clay and rrao performing live together in the Come Down Room at the 15 Years of The Bunker party in Tangent Gallery in Detroit on Memorial Day.

Deeper still goes Interpretations Vol. II, Mysteries of the Deep's next collection of edits, reworks, and revisions, all culled from our second full-length LP, William Selman's "Musica Enterrada." Both the gentle bloom of Matthew Patterson Curry’s twist on the title track and Borne's shimmering percussion-forward version of 'The Island Before The Internet' hew pleasingly close to the source material. Elsewhere, rrao and Clay Wilson transform 'Thick Description' into a stygian journey, with a susurrant reiki session, and Strategy recombines 'Musica Enterrada' into a classic subaquatic house tune. A bonus original work from Selman, 'Sun Tunnels Tree Tunnels,' completes the release.

MOTDEP002 - William Selman - Interpretations Vol II | Musica Enterrada

From the very first track, it’s clear that Abby @Echiverri’s debut, the “Ab Initio” EP is something different and rare: a polished and fresh interpretation of electronic music that incorporates classic electro squelches with intricate broken beats and expansive synthesizer zone-outs. Although this is her first EP, Abby has extensive history as a musician, sound engineer, DJ and VJ. Her current trajectory started early in childhood when she was classically trained in violin, flute, piano and vocals, cementing music as a part of her daily life. In high school she picked up turntables and began collecting records, eventually moving to NYC to study recording engineering and perform in post-punk bands, and became a regular at Wierd and The Bunker at a very young age. Since then, Echiverri has devoted her professional hours to engineering, maintaining, and manufacturing audio equipment for studios and clubs around the world.

This record’s name “Ab Initio” means “from the beginning” or “from first principles”, invoking a propulsive leap into the future and also perhaps including an element of the eponymous. When we asked her to tell us more about the process of creating these hardware-based jams, Abby explained: “It all stems from my own experiences on the dancefloor and wanting to recreate that for other people.  I want to make music that rewires the brain: music that is challenging, yet groovy... repetitive, yet evolving.  An aural psychedelic.  It's a lofty goal - I'm still working on it.” If Ab Initio is one of her first steps towards that goal then we can’t wait to see what happens next.

Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter LXXXVII

Mysteries of the Deep LXXXVII - BRENDON MOELLER

Vanishing Point -- Title track from the forthcoming album by @birdsofprey

If emptiness is heaviness is Godliness, Birds of Prey's third full-length LP is an immaculate conception from on high. The record luxuriates in the spaces between. What's left out says as much as what made it in. Deep, droning, and dub wise, “Vanishing Point” cascades in elegance. Its reference points call towards the sample manipulation of American tape music and the downward gaze of amniotic British bass music. It charts its own path nonetheless, building its own space for drifting off to. 

Unlike many peers operating in similar realms, Birds of Prey are a proper band, a foursome: Grant Aaron, Clay Wilson, Eric Holmes, and Camille Altay. Each are artists in their own right with a distinct practice. In Birds of Prey, their collaborations in studio take on a greater shape, whittled and edited into cosmic formlessness. 

Although borne of improvisation, you may never know that in the listening. "Vanishing Point" is a tight, coherent work, the sound of a cadre of talented musicians locked in flow. Rippling tones become glacial melodies. Cavernous drums emerge barely from the ether. Rhythms interlock, interpolate. Patterns repeat and dissolve whence they came. There is untold potency in simplicity, and Birds of Prey make it known.

MOTDLP004 - Birds of Prey - XYZ

Birds of Prey is an ever-evolving process of chaos, immediacy and necessity. Like an organism emerging from the sea to walk on land for the first time, there is no grand plan, and no going back. The story of our friendship in many ways mirrors our method. We were brought together by a shared fascination with the sublime potential of electricity to generate something unknown, and a mutual trust that a path would reveal itself as we move forward through the dark. Originally conceived and composed live in Brooklyn, Birds of Prey is a collaboration of live electronics by Grant Aaron, Clay Wilson, Eric Holmes, and Camille Altay.
