From his first EP release in 1996, British producer Inigo Kennedy has built a sound which embraces both the traditional and the ambitious - as well as the emotional, the organic and the energy of live performance. Continuously studying the effects and capability of digital equipment, Kennedy has released in excess of 100 records, either as himself or through alternative monikers (Reducer, Tomito Satori). He has released these records on labels such as Missile, Semantica and his own Asymmetric. Since 2007 Inigo Kennedy and Belgian label Token Records have had a particularly close and fruitful relationship. Kennedy released three times on the Ghent-based label last year, including the thumping 'Emitter' and spiralling epic 'Cathedral'.

In April 2014 Inigo returns to Token - and with a project that feels like the culmination of all those years and all those records: a CD, 12'' single and 2x12'' LP under the banner of Vaudeville. In true, theatrical manner, Vaudeville is a collection of differing themes - from the abstract and freakishly odd to the direct and resonant. And just as the Vaudevillian shares a common purpose with his co-stars as the 'voice of the city'('voix de ville'), there runs through the centre of this record a clear narrative for urban experience.

'Narrative' presages the mood with a cold wind, before 'Birth' emerges with rain on the ground and a helicopter searching in the swirling darkness. 'Requiem', next, is more direct, as a warm kick and frenzied timbres interlock; the rumble recalls echoing and unhappy machinery. As one cornerstone of the record, 'Plaintive' is Requiem's anxious but happier brother: an organ winds its way down a slope, as soft toms herald the start of reflection on a heroic journey. 'Lullaby' has a deep and echo-laden undercurrent, building from afar but also warm and so incredibly close. 'Vallecula' is lower slung still, the atmosphere rough and moments before the morning light: the uncertain hour, the uncomfortable and unpredictable, a paranoid heartbeat. 'Winter' is the rolling patter of rain through clashing snare taps and dragging hi hats, solid thumps in haunted isolation. 'Petrichor' strides like a boss through his realm, again enwrapped in dank surroundings. 'Aleph' is the coolest act, a tremor of synth and an icy kick of determination. It's a race through the streets in sturdy boots, swirling in its certain melody. And at last there is the final cornerstone - 'NGC5128' (a galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus). A reflective end, this galactic rumble is late-of-bar heavy, and has a fitting space synth jagging in and out.

As a whole Vaudeville is a presentation of space, industry and enveloping urban darkness in a single, turbulent journey. It is the culmination of an organic and emotional approach to production. It is Inigo Kennedy at his finest.

INFO
1 MAN, 4 MACHINES - B is the new live Techno project from Bert Libeert of GOOSE. Armed with just two synths and two drum machines B is bringing the rawness and spontaneity of live music back to clubs. His signature sound is an uncompromising mix of hard edged EBM and Old School Techno that still sounds as exciting today as when it first kicked off a musical revolution in the 1980s.
His first EP, "AMBUSH”, will be released on the pioneering Techno/Electro label Lektroluv and wastes no time in setting out its stall. From the minute the needle hits the record ‘Ambush’ goes in hard, jackhammer beats and aggressive synth riffs that will tear the roof off any club.

With ‘Elite’, B drops the tempo in the best Belgian style, grinding out the kind of Industrial sounds that first put the country on the electronic music map. Finally ‘Kreuzberg’ pays homage to the Berlin neighbourhood the EP was recorded in, its distorted acidic blasts and relentless beats the perfect soundtrack to a night out in Europe’s Techno capital.

A respected producer/musician, Bert Libeert is best known for drumming with GOOSE (Skint/!K7/Safari Records) but in recent years has also produced and worked on several other projects including co-writing "You're Mine", 2015’s Gold-selling single from Raving George & Oscar And The Wolf.

Alongside releasing his new EP B is also hosting B - NIGHTS, a series of parties held in out of the way and unusual spots from fairgrounds to swimming pools and galleries. Keep an eye
on his Facebook page for updates.

The artwork is provided by the visual artist Pierre Debusschere, who shot editorials for several leading magazines such as Vogue Homme Japan and Citizen K and also shot 2 videoclips for Beyoncé.

Stroboscopic Artefacts presents the Monad series. Rarefied and introspective, confrontational and extreme, each featured artist will delve into the Monad concept:
“The generation of number series is related to objects of geometry as well as cosmogony. From the Monad evolved the Dyad; from it numbers; from numbers, points; then lines, two-dimensional entities, three dimensional entities, bodies, culminating in the four elements earth, water, fire and air, from which the rest of our world is built up.”
Tommy Four Seven’s Monad XIII is culled from the creased crevices of our fears and the depths of our desires. Speckled with references to gods of water and air, Sumerian mythology and long forgotten Roman citadels, what emerges is primal, powerful and expressed with utter precision. Pitched-down vocals mumble, broken beats saunter, and bass lines build urgently only to drop euphorically. Created with clarity and curiosity, it slants into your ear drum through the prism of the future as imagined by the past.

The dictionary defines equanimity as 'mental calmness and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation.' It refers to a mind that is at peace even in the face of stressful and unpleasant experiences. Not an easy task to accomplish, especially in these times. But you see it, life is an endless continuum of dips, rises, and spirals: beginnings and endings, wins and losses, peaks and valleys, light and darkness! Seeing clearly the ever-changing nature of things can be a great relief. 

This new music comes precisely from attempting this kind of process, while in my studio-isolation. Four versions developed in this order, four moods, similar notes, four experiments with which I enjoyed incorporating my Techno with ever deeper frequencies. And yes, entirely recorded at night. 

I hope you enjoy the journey!
