Liar - Optimix™ Series

Tessier-Ashpool has quickly become one of our favorite labels thanks to a concise and fresh aesthetic that melds techno with bass music in a maelstrom that's at once minimalist and heavy. Label head Liar's remix of "Adapt" is a perfect example of what the label are all about, and if you're into this, take a dive into their catalogue.

"Liar’s Optimix™ is a total deconstruction, and subsequent reconstruction, of “Oazis” assets into a sprawling oriental epic, commencing as a retrofuturist space opera before segueing into a wholly unhinged xenogrime assault (populated with blink-and-you’ll-miss-them nods to our favorite moments in 2014 electronic music). Inspired by Le Dom’s title choice, Liar envisions a surrealist, poignant tableau – augmented Bedouin, astride bionic camels, HF-scimitars in hand, dying in battle to protect the black oasis of their petrostate."

"Liar’s Optimix™ of “Emphasis” is a constantly flanging, phasing and recursively modulating mess of gutter electro that aims to connect the dots between jungle, ‘ardkore and, to a lesser extent, later nu-skool breaks/big beat. And, as always, it’s a Tessier-Ashpool exemplar."

Resident Advisor: "Liar's excellent "Optimix" polishes "Perfection" and builds on its technological theme, adding bleepy computer noises and an extra robotic sheen to the vocal samples. He nearly beats Vladau at his own game."

Boomkat: "Label boss bot, Liar chimes in with a killer Optimix of 'Perfection' pumped with dynamic detail for the club."

For my Optimix™, I opted to incorporate elements of (and nods to) all the tracks on the EP, in what is otherwise a primarily original composition, meant to complement Raul’s concept. Full of hydraulic concretism, sample-&-hold splurging, vitreous sound-design, cheeky easter eggs, horizontal maximalism, vertical sparseness, and unclassifiable, demolishing rhythmics, it’s everything you might have come to expect from a Tessier-Ashpool Optimix™ (if you’ve been following us closely and have also been reading these).

"Lastly, my Optimix™ of “Fermi” is a cheeky push of its grime elements into the realm of the very obvious, yet without the loathsome rehashing that usually comes with that in the hands of lesser (or more shameless) artists. What I did was try to channel the 2004-ish energy and “production methodology” of grime from scratch, while enriching the original track’s narrative with sound design that timbrally suggests outer-space phenomena."

Cassini - Fermi (Liar Optimix)

For my Optimix™, I opted to take the recessive rave traits the original’s musical DNA and make them dominant. Breakbeat hardcore, armor-piercing metallic piano riffs, massive undulating reeses and yardie chants were the order of the day. Or, as Alan put it, “this is some hardcore rave excellence”.
