"The Continuing Story of Counterpoint, Part Nine" by David Borden from "Music for Amplified Keyboard Instruments" originally released on Red Records, 1981. Forthcoming Spectrum Spools reissue due out early Spring 2015.

"The Continuing Story of Counterpoint, Part Nine"

"Apologia’ was written on a cheap Yamaha guitar with a ridiculously high action over the course a couple of months in 2002 and recorded in February 2003, a few months before I picked up a 12-string guitar for the first time and wrote and recorded my first release, ‘Celeste’. I’d just started fingerpicking and had gotten comfortable enough with some techniques to experiment with open tunings of my own devising and write my own compositions, which were at that time very inspired by the musicians I adored – John Fahey, Robbie Basho and lots of old country blues players like Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Blake and Reverend Gary Davis.

I burned about 30 CD-Rs with homemade covers in jewel cases, gave most to friends and family and sold a few in the record shop I used to work in Soho. I felt for some time afterward like I was only just starting to find my own voice with ‘Apologia’ – the songs are shorter and more straightforward and the cyclical structures and appreciation of drones and overtones really came to the fore later on, as did my appreciation of adding other instrumentation and experimenting with sounds generally. Plus, I wasn’t entirely happy with the sound of the recording (some small EQ changes and reverb was added for this edition) and let’s just say the situation in the studio was far from ideal, but that’s another story. For that reason, I never chose to reissue ‘Apologia’. Now, almost 12 years later, I’m hearing them in a different way, realising the songs’ charms rather than simply concentrating on the flaws. It doesn’t sound quite like anything I’ve ever done since and there’s a simplicity and raw energy about them that I’ve grown to appreciate. It’s an interesting snapshot of where I was then and how things have changed.

It is an absolute pleasure for me to work with Bladud Flies! to release ‘Apologia’ as a limited edition LP now – something I would never have dreamed of back in 2003."

Up next on Feel My Bicep, the lauded Irish duo Bicep bring experienced UK producer James Shinra to the forefront with a new slamming and cleverly constructed 12" 'Signs / Arc' - slated for release on July 26.

The EP comes paired with remixes from '90s techno veteran John Beltran and the intrepid 50Weapons and R&S affiliate Benjamin Damage. Ahead of the release, Mixmag has locked down the latter for a premiere. Using a sturdy and unwavering drum arrangement as the track's backbone, Benjamin Damage elevates his remix of 'Arc' through a memorable synth hook and a strong bassline that cunningly converse with one another throughout the tune.

Following a string of releases this year, Bicep are keeping it green on their label commending the rising Irish duo, and Sligo local heroes.

2019 continues to be a big year for Brame & Hamo who have come through the ranks of Irish talent. Having kept all original releases to their own eponymous imprint since 2016; it’s now time for them to step outside their home, and step up onto Bicep’s label with two tracks ‘Waves Reach’ and ‘Dust’, along with remixes from Poland's Private Press and Voiski from France.

This time last year, Life And Death – the dream team comprised of modern house heroes Tale Of Us and Thugfucker – released a dual weapon of stealth killer club tracks ‘Step Aside’. Now given the royal remix treatment by super producers Carl Craig and Jamie Jones plus Rework flexing their minimal funk, the EP gets a whole new lease of life.

First up, Carl Craig, a true forefather of Detroit and Planet E boss, enters the Visionquest repertoire with a heavy duty ‘Morgana’ remix. Staying faithful to the dark and hallucinogenic journey of the original with its stormy twists and turns, Carl delivers the perfect stomping gear, pitching things up and pairing the growling disengaged synth line with driving hi-hats for a more jacked up groove. An explosive storm is just about contained in the tension, letting off shoots of steam in all the right places.

On the flip, the inimitable Jamie Jones takes the reigns for the first remix of ‘Step Aside’, lifting the track from its deep and dubby expanse into to a backdrop of bleep filled space funk, injecting the bassline with his infectious dancefloor appeal and playing with the melody of the bubbling synth line. Another first appearance on the Visionquest imprint but a long time friend of the group, Jamie Jones is without doubt one of the most in-demand talents in the industry and currently making ripples outside the realms of dance music with Hot Natured.

Closing the package, German-French trio and Playhouse favourites Rework, deliver a remix of ‘Step Aside’ in their own alternative stripped back style, underpinning Scott McCloud’s chopped up vocal with deep old school chords and combining them with fresh female vox courtesy of band member Sacha Hedgehog. Also made up of Daniel Varga and Michael Kübler, Rework are specialists in edgy, minimal funk and ooze new-wave sex appeal. Recent EPs have been dropping on Meant Records and Items & Things.
