Wisconsin-based producer and drummer Chants (The Trilogy Tapes, Maximum Airtime, Astral Plane Recordings) meets master drummer Dave Schoepke on this all-drums LP for Brussels-based Maloca Records. ‘Speleogenesis’ blends live drumming with dub techniques and dancefloor-informed production, guided by imagery of a subterranean world. It’s a full-circle moment, as the two met when Chants (aka Jordan Cohen) took drum lessons from Schoepke during his teenage years.

The recording process began with Chants creating skeletal demos for Dave Schoepke to improvise on. Schoepke recorded many layers of drums and percussion, running some of them through his hardware synthesizers. Chants then shaped these recordings, resulting in the cavernous dub techno track ‘Pressure Slide’, the Brazilian-influenced ‘Ritmo Crudo’ and ‘Ritmo Puro’, and the uptempo, slippery dancehall dub of ‘The Quickstepper’.

Chants then assembled a new palette of samples from this core and constructed dancefloor-focused bangers like the hyperactive ‘Cyclone Rhythm’ and minimal 170 bpm ‘Rafter’, adding his own homegrown breakbeats. As the album took shape, the music kept evoking mental images of caves, tunnels, and underwater caverns that in turn influenced the final pieces. ‘Notes from Underground’ and ‘Speleogenesis’ present a more unfiltered view of Schoepke’s nuanced drumming. ‘Airbell Dub’ was also created using material from one of Schoepke’s meditative solo performances. Finally, ‘Cavernicole’ features both drummers in full duet mode, trading phrases over an insistent kick drum pulse.

EPISODE VII ‘DISSONANCE’

- I walk through the streets of this vast metropolis, losing myself in its many
sounds. Street after street, the buildings, like enormous guardian demons
clad in multi-coloured screens, watch my every step, our every step. This
crossing I’m about to take is filled with hundreds upon hundreds of people at
every moment of the day, and I move in unison with them, creating a single
harmony. Right, left, a glance at my mobile, I keep going.
-
- But this time, I notice a shadow, just beside the traffic light pole on the
opposite side. It moves in sharp, jerky motions, out of sync—right, left—a
fraction of a second too soon, or too late. It catches my attention. A second
ago it was blurred, now ultra-clear—a regular woman, dark hair, grey clothes;
she could be me on a dreary November afternoon, leaving work. And yet, her
unsynchronised movements and unstable form hold my gaze. As I stare, she
lifts her eyes and locks onto mine. Hypnotised, I stop on the zebra crossing,
while the human river flows around her. Moving slowly but still in those
irregular jerks, the woman comes closer. Nearer and nearer, a feeling of
unease fills me, yet I cannot take a step forward. Now she’s here, right in front
of me. Her pupils fixed on mine vibrate almost imperceptibly at an intense
frequency, yet with no order. Suddenly, she seizes my hand. “Dissonate.” I
blink, and she’s gone.
-
- The light is about to turn red, and the last pedestrians are hurrying across. I
hurry too, but feel both heavy and weightless. The world flows around me,
and I am out of step. People extend their strides in slow-motion steps, yet
somehow impossibly fast. I feel as if every movement of mine is submerged
in water with opposing currents. The sound of the traffic light becomes
piercing, then low; the sky brightens, then dims, as if its exposure control has
gone mad. I can no longer tune myself to any rhythm. Days pass both quickly
and slowly, leaving deep yet faint marks I can no longer decipher. And
yet—do I want, or not want, to resonate with it?
