THE HUMAN RESOURCE
EVOL INTENT ASSEMBLES THE MONSTER
a mix by Evol Intent

Released in April of 2006, the HUMAN RESOURCE was a compilation of musical highlights from my drum and bass label HUMAN IMPRINT. The double vinyl release had brand new exclusive remixes and original music. The double CD release consisted of 12 tracks on CD1 and a great mix of 22 label jams on CD2 by my boys @evolintent entitled “Evol Intent Assemble The Monster”. The entire visual and audio “concept” for the album was based on the story of Frankenstein (hence the mix name). I collaborated on the mix intro with @evolintent and we called it VIVIFY (to animate / enliven). The packaging design was an idea that i worked out with my friend @joelsavitzky. He crushed it. I designed the HUMAN RESOURCE lettering for the front of the release. The inside of the booklet was bright red with an overlay of clear ink that looked like muscle tissue and a quote from the vocal we had made for the intro track - “the switch thrown as raw lightning arcs down the line / violent / consuming the cold form upon the table / within moments the power is diminished / by the glimmer of the half extinguished light / i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open / it breathed hard and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs”. Lots and lots of thought went into what should have been a simple "Best Of” release. Extremely proud of this one.

The Human Resource

The Human Resource - Evol Intent Assembles The Monster

I was 12 years old in 1983 when I heard Kraftwerk "Tour de France". It had a profound impact on me. I was drawn toward music that used synths before that. Pink Floyd, The Cars, Gary Numan, etc. but Kraftwerk was different. I was taught break dance moves from some of the older kids on my street and we would put on shows at school fairs. A year later (1984) I was introduced to The Cure (Pornography and The Top) and again, this music would have a profound effect on me. From there, I started going clubbing and the floodgate of post punk, new wave and industrial music opened up and I found myself. The third artist that gripped me was Bill Leeb (Front Line Assembly, Delirium) in 1987. Since my roots are in dancing, my place is on the dancefloor. However, I wanted to HAVE the music, so I'm a collector, as well. I was always known for having the newest tracks before anyone else, except the professional djs, of course. And even helped a close friend launch his career as a dj (1990) as he taught himself how to spin using my vinyl (and some of his own). As the music progressed, so did I. From acid house, house, early rave, gabber, ambient, techno, dnb, jungle, trip hop, speed garage, prog. house, breaks, trance, psy trance, prog. breaks, electro & dub step I've amassed my collection and knowledge. I'm not a very good DJ but I have dabbled in that, at times, to reminisce about the past. Preferably on vinyl as I'm not tech savvy. I once had aspirations to produce music and be a part of electronic music's evolution around 1993 but was sidelined by other aspects of life. Electronic music has been the center of my world for 42 years and I'm soooo grateful that I had the opportunity to live thru its evolution. My mood generally dictates what I listen to and there is always something that fits whatever mood I'm in. That's the beauty of electronic music. I do miss the old days of clubbing and the illegal rave parties in the early 90's. I'm not one to frequent festivals, as it doesn't have the intimacy of a small, dank, smoke filled club or a crusty warehouse that the cops could show up at any minute. But I have  seen most of my favorite DJs and been to concerts of my favorite artists thru the years. It's all about the music...
