Hidden Orchestra - Spoken (Submerse Remix)

Buy direct from Tru Thoughts http://shop.etchshop.co.uk/releases/TRU291/archipelago-remixes-part-2/819

Out 12th May, the second in the Archipelago Remixes EP series brings more stunning new versions of tracks from Hidden Orchestra’s second album, ‘Archipelago’. Established and rising stars - Dam Mantle, Mungo’s Hi Fi, Floex, submerse and KRTS – work their magic on producer and band-leader Joe Acheson’s original productions, across two 10” records in a hand-stamped and numbered sleeve, limited to 500 units worldwide.

Opening the first 10” is “Seven Hunters (Dam Mantle Mix)”, which brings a noir-ish intensity to the original, a firm fan favourite. The Glasgow based Notown/Wichita signed producer re-programmes the original drums, creating a sense of space and suspense, and eliciting admiration from Acheson, whose heavily layered organic beats are an integral part of the stirring Hidden Orchestra sound, even requiring two kits in the live show: “it's the kind of way I treat drum recordings in my own work, so it's really nice to hear it done to my drum tracks”.

“Flight (Mungo's Hi Fi Remix)” sees an eagerly awaited hook-up with the Scottish crew, of whom Acheson has long been a fan, having partied at - and played on - Mungos’ legendary soundsystem at Knockengorroch Festival. Here they transform the intricate, folk-influenced “Flight” (which boasts almost a million soundcloud plays) for a bass-heavy dub dancefloor, while skilfully retaining snapshots of the original orchestration and atmosphere. 

“Disquiet (Floex Remix)” finds Floex returning the favour for a Hidden Orchestra mix of his own latest single. This charged, hypnotic version shows the dancier, more electronic side of the Czech clarinettist and producer’s work; twisting and heightening existing sounds, not least the heavenly harp solo, for an epic effect. Floex’s second official Hidden Orchestra remix, this adds to a growing list of joint ventures from these two like-minded creators. 

Two artists from Berlin’s Project Mooncircle label - London based submerse, and Brooklyn’s KRTS (the latter with a  bonus digital cut) – remix “Spoken”, each ramping up the strikingly percussive intro and spiralling down a different yet equally fascinating experimental electronic bass music path.

Like all of Joe's mixtapes, there is a broad and multi-layered range of music and sound from around the world, from contemporary releases stretching back to the 1940's and something from every decade in-between - including imagined collaborations such as Burial with vocals from Argentinian folk legend Mercedes Sosa, or Linton Kwesi Johnson reciting poetry over Tipper's immaculately-produced beats.

There is also a wealth of sound design and spoken word, taken from interviews with composers, radio programmes (many recorded by Joe), and poetry recitals.

Hidden Orchestra - Archipelago Remixes Mixtape Part 2

from 'The Unified Field Reconstructed' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records ·  den226
available on all formats at [http://denovali.com/pianointerrupted]

Piano Interrupted, the anglo / french duo formed by Tom Hodge and Franz Kirmann is a musical entity in continuous reinvention, their music constantly evolving and transforming from concert to concert, record to record. Studio compositions are deconstructed for live shows, becoming brand new pieces, which in turn serve as a basis for future new compositions, like a never-ending “mise en abyme”
It was just a question of time then before the pair turned to other producers to ask them to rework their music. Concentrating exclusively on material from their last LP “The Unified Field”, Piano Interrupted invited a handful of artists and producers from Denovali Records' roster including Hidden Orchestra, Floex, Origamibiro, John Lemke, Saffronkeira and Second Moon Of Winter to reinvent some of their compositions. Oscillating between dub, techno, abstract hip hop, ambient and post-classical, each interpretation offers a completely fresh approach to the work, sometimes barely recognisable, and sheds new light on the infinite directions that Piano Interrupted's intricate compositions can be taken.
“The Unified Field Reconstructed” is a reminder of the possibilities and a promise of more exquisite exploration in the duo's 3rd album, scheduled for later this year, based on recordings taking place in Senegal (where Franz spent his childhood) in February 2015.

Piano Interrupted - Cross Hands (Hidden Orchestra Remix)

Joe Acheson improvises live remixes of his Hidden Orchestra material, alongside versions of tracks by Floex, Piano Interrupted, Macmaster/Hay, Long Arm, and Clarinet Factory - from the recent 'Reorchestrations' album, which is made up of reworkings of classical, folk and experimental musicians.
All accompanied by one of the Hidden Orchestra drummers, Jamie Graham, whose drums and percussion Joe is also sampling, looping, and effecting live on stage.
The tracks are woven into a single continuous mixtape performance, with looped percussion solos, field recordings and spoken word extracts.

Hidden Orchestra will be doing a full band live-AV tour in Europe and India in November/December 2015.

Hidden Orchestra - Dust (Floex Remix)

Bryan Ferry’s most recent musical odyssey came in the form of 2014’s critically acclaimed Avonmore album, now the LP gets some very special remix treatment by a connoisseur selection of disco artists from around the globe. The celebrated and tastemaking likes of Leo Zero, Ray Mang, Prins Thomas, Justin Robertson, Leftside Wobble, Idjut Boys, Man Power and many more all lend their well trained ears and serve up some sizzling new versions of the superb originals.
Bryan Ferry is one of the UK’s foremost singer songwriters, a pop artist and musician whose appeal has spanned five decades. With his elegant virtuoso performances as the front man of Roxy Music and his subsequent illustrious solo career Ferry has achieved numerous accolades and has been a great source of influence and inspiration for ensuing generations of musicians. As such, a project like this allows some of these established and rising talents the unique opportunity to add their own spin to Ferry’s singular style.
A broad palette of sounds, scenes and genres are traversed along the course of this absorbing collection. It kicks off in style with two different versions of ‘Loop Di Li’. Leo Zero’s take is sun-kissed and breezy, with trilling riffs and sweeping synths. UK disco don Ray Mang then offers a more pumping, groove driven effort that wraps Ferry’s unique vocals up in neo-Balearic cool.
Next up, the marvellous ‘Midnight Train’ is offered as a late night and romantic affair by Johnson Somerset, a cosmic chugger by Man Power and a characteristically left of centre house version by the inimitable Idjut Boys, famed for being remix kings.
Fans of dubbed out and slo-motion disco will love the brilliant Beard of Concern mix of ‘Soldier of Fortune,’ before five fascinating versions of ‘Driving Me Wild’ take in lush 80s nostalgia, swaggering dub, mechanical psychedelic disco, horizontal grooves and elastic kosmiche from Johnson Somerset, Leftside Wobble, Justin Roberton’s Deadstock 33s, Leo Zero and Ray Mang respectively.
The latter half of the album finds nu-disco pioneer Prins Thomas masterfully flip the title track into a broody affair with corrugated bass and tense, scintillating synth lines, whilst PBR Streetgang work ‘One Night Stand’ into a deep and synthetic disco bomb that will have dance-floors in raptures. Elsewhere Idjut Boys, Ray Mang, Leo Zero & Johnson Somerset offer more expert reworks. Hidden Orchestra layer grand instrumentals and sweeping strings into a dramatic and theatrical remix of ‘Send in the Clowns.’ Leftside Wobble then brings us back down to earth with an intoxicating brew of molten synths, woozy chords and smeared pads that sooth mind, body and soul. Finally ambient pioneer Ulrich Schnauss offers up a supreme adaptation of ‘Johnny & Mary’, Ferry’s timeless collaboration with Norwegian man of the mo- ment Todd Terje.
The rich source material here, along with the wealth of stars chosen to remix it, all make for another fascinating chapter in the life of one of the UK’s most cherished artists.
A selection of Avonmore Remixes are also available now on 2 limited bespoke 12” vinyls from The Vinyl Factory:

Bryan Ferry - Send In The Clowns (Hidden Orchestra Remix)

Buy Emergence Remixed: http://maxcooper.lnk.to/Remixed
Buy Emergence: http://maxcooper.lnk.to/Emergence

I'm really excited to bring you this remix album - I was lucky to get many of my favourite producers in the world involved in the project, and they have delivered an amazing range of music, it's a bit silly actually, how good this release is!

I was originally planning to separate it out into several releases, but when I brought all the remixes together I realised it could make an LP of it's own. I tried to order the tracks to provide some flow in this respect, from the beautiful ambience and downtempo sounds of Christian Löffler and Tom Hodge, to Rival Consoles brooding synth epic, into Vessels Aside broken melodic club track, Kimyan Law's beautifully detailed jungle break masterpiece, Patrice Baumel's massive techno remix, Ash Koosha's twisted electronica vision of Kathrin de Boerr, JoeFarr's apocalyptic darkroom disaster, John Tejada's melodic analogue beauties to wind down a little, and Hidden Orchestra's symmetrically structured huge ebb and flow remix of Symmetry to close. So much great work in there, I hope you have time to listen through and enjoy it as much as I do! And massive thanks to Christian, Tom, Ryan, Vessels, Nico, Pat, Ash, Joe, John and Hidden Orchestra for your work on this.

**FULL TRACKLISTING BELOW**

I'm often asked in interviews what my early influences were.
If I could have made a mixtape years ago like the ones I've been making more recently, then it would probably have sounded something like this.
71 tracks in 75 minutes, with mashups of up to 4 or 5 tracks playing at the same time.
Features many legendary artists of the time, from DJ Shadow, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada and Orbital through to Portishead, Luke Vibert, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Shy FX & UK Apachi, Bonobo, 4hero, Adam F, Amon Tobin, Chemical Brothers, Red Snapper and Aquasky - with some Classical, Folk and Choral music, and Moondog, The Beta Band, Donovan, Jive Bunny, Velvet Underground, Herb Alpert and classic jungle thrown in.
Apart from appearances from Brian Eno and Derren Brown, this mixtape doesn't feature interviews and field recordings like the other mixtapes in the annual series, but it does still feature acapellas from J-Live, KRS-One, Common, Roots Manuva, Choclair and more.
