2013-07 Marc Houle - Soundwall Podcast #164

Italian DJ and producer Marco Dassi is releasing his debut full-length album, First, Quake Me on Hell Yeah Recordings in september 2013.

Having always experimented with a range of sounds and styles from hypnotic techno to melodic bass throughout his career, it is no surprise that this album marks another evolution for Dassi.

A world away from the minimal techno and tight tech loops of his early releases, it’s a more personal and intimate affair that is layered up with plenty of genuine musicality.

Far from a collection of banging bangers, First, Quake Me is a mature record that works on your head as much, if not more than, your heel.

Across the 13 tracks the album peaks and troughs through blissful soundscapes, dancefloor focused grooves and moody ambient pieces as well as some disco nuggets and deep electronic delights. As such it’s a real listening experience from start to finish; and album that takes you somewhere away from here as well as providing plenty of propulsive moments for the club.

Be A Light opens the album with a heavy kick drum and plenty of wiry, sinewy synth sounds that grow in stature and ease you into Dassi’s world. From there Les Petites Choses’ mines a laidback disco groove that is infused with plenty of musicality and frazzled hooks.

Elsewhere the likes of Fleeting Glances suspends you in outer space as sci fi sonics drift by, swells of intergalactic energy build up and dissipate and huge, thudding kicks propel you along. Swedish Love; will no doubt be a standout single for many with its purposeful disco swagger and shiny, reflective analogue textures.

Reloved proves Dassi does vocals as well as instrumentals as he infuses his melodically rich arrangements with muffled male motifs, whilst Acid Purple Weed is a deep house cum acid track that proves this Italian does infectious groove as well as cinematic ambiance.

Closing on the downbeat, depraved sounding technoid slump of Confabulous, First, Quake Me is an album of true invention and originality. It stiches together a wide array of influences into a hugely absorbing tapestry of textural delights.

DISCLAIMER: this is not endorsed by Boiler Room TV

For our next release we turn to an emerging producer in the form of young Belgian Innershades. With but one previous release on Ukraine’s Wicked Bass label, little is known of the man other than the fact that he produces heavyweight techno with a purposeful and dubbed out menace. 

The first cut here, 'Nina At The Boiler Room' is a mid tempo stomper with grainy textures and musky ambiance run through with a wild acid line and classic pinging cowbells. It's potent and feverish and forever builds to a peak, at which point a searching horn sound surveys the desolate landscapes. 'No Stoppin' is more like dub house, shrouded as it is in plenty of echo, delay and rueful and romantic pads. 

Last cut 'The Future' is the most up beat and peak time of the lot. It's a bouncy, nimble bit of analogue house with sombre pads, busy melodies and a healthy scattering of percussion that brings plenty of kineticism to the mix. Three fine tracks that will surely have the world keeping an eye on Innershades from here on in.

Creme 12-72 - Innershades - No Stopping EP (OUT NOW)

For this installation of the L.I.E.S. Podacast series we have a mix from Sling and Samo of Stockholm. Through the years the duo have been heavily involved in Stockholm's world of underground electronic music, running numerous labels together, djing, and throwing loft parties, whlist Samo was a longtime employee at Snickar's Records.

Fast forward to the present, Sling and Samo have started their own imprint Born Free Records (see links below) http://www.slingandsamo.com/ http://soundcloud.com/bornfreerecords putting out and remixing an interesting array of local talent from Stockholm with an always unique take on different strains of electronic music.

Sling and Samo can also be found on the elusive LIES-BLK 02 with "DJ Tool #1" while Samo can be found with a solo effort of edits on LIES-BLK 03. Furthermore, Samo has an upcoming full length lp for L.I.E.S. this fall called the KWC 92 project alongside his good friend Max. More info on that later.

This mix sees the duo going for it tweaking various strains of acid, house, wave and the like. Sounds from Willie Burns, Nation, ripped up Torn Hawk, some messed up Lil Louis and the now famous Unovidual " Comme Je Suis" Samo edit are all present creating a hell of an adventure from this prolific duo.

Maceo Plex's remix of 'Sordid Affair' is a textbook Plex edit.

Deep, powerful and synth heavy, this could well be the best Royksopp edit we've heard all year and is certainly the perfect way to say goodbye.

This Thanksgiving we're thankful for Marc Houle﻿! It's our supreme pleasure to share with you this ultimate Throwback Thursday set from Marc Houle at our 1 Year Anniversary Festival. His 3 hour live techno set is still to this day one of the best sets we've ever heard in our lives. He harnessed the Desert Hearts vibe as soon as he entered the gates and then completely annihilated the dance floor like nothing we've ever seen before. This was probably the hardest we've ever danced in our lives. 

After his set when it was time to take Marc to his hotel, he thoroughly declined and said he'd rather sleep in the back of a friends car for the next two days because there was no way he was leaving Desert Hearts. Marc, you're a true Desert Hearts legend.

Happy Thanksgiving Desert Hearts!!! <3 <3 <3

Release date: 27/05/2009

Marc Houle’s music is always innovative, experimental and unconventional, his live sets, choice of instruments and track titles never fail to grab the attention while his natural instinct as an electronic musician is to take the listener out of his or her comfort zone, dismantling the strict set of rules that techno music adheres to in the process. These two digital only tracks build on the foundations laid by last year’s sixty-four collection and will certainly appeal to lovers of the avant garde, so if you’re looking for familiar, user friendly beats that blend seamlessly and don’t ask too many questions…don’t bother reading any further.

Apart from the clinical drum machine groove Houle employs on Dirty Dirty, there’s nothing that remotely resembles anything from your standard soundset, yet it somehow remains deliciously monotone and minimal. If techno ever found it’s way into a Tarantino flick then Dirty Dirty would be a prime candidate with its fuzzy plucked guitar surging through beaten up amps and crazy, oscillating analogue synth line that seems to rise and fall simultaneously, creating bedlam. Houle makes it all sound so ridiculously easy as he stitches his wild, staccato riffs together, applying heavy doses of sporadic reverb to the twisting time signatures. A warm bassline rounds out the groove, before a secondary guitar line leads us into the tense breakdown from which the groove quickly reforms, although the shadows have all shifted slightly.

If anything Licking Skin goes deeper into the realms of abstraction cramming a night of feverish dream sequences into seven eventful minutes. Underpinned by another nervous guitar pattern, Houle sets the scene with some instinctive keyboard stabs and scary b-movie pad fx that create an odd, hallucinatory state before a chorus of chiming clocks send the Dali-esque symbolism into overdrive. What’s more, the subsequent subliminal mantra ‘I like to take things apart and put them all back together’ perfectly sums up Houle’s grasp of the logic of the absurd. At times it sounds like an orchestra warming up before a mischievous percussion improvisation takes control, accompanied by a chorus of heavily treated vocals that recall the climax of the early 80’s new wave punk sci-fi movie Liquid Sky. It certainly wouldn’t be speaking out of turn to suggest these two tunes deserve the same cult classic status.

Marc Houle - Licking Skin | Minus | 2009

This is the first out of a series of podcasts Marc Houle will release this year, each edition focussed on a different style and direction out of Marc’s large catalogue of released and unreleased material.

In this first edition for French TSUGI Magazine we can hear a dark and melancholic mix made from mainly unreleased material, and with a brief description from Marc about each track.

Being a live act, all of  the featured music was created by Marc Houle himself, showcasing his diversity and talent as producer.

Exclusive mix recorded for the TSUGI podcast series.
http://www.tsugi.fr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8731&Itemid=39

----------------------------------------------
Track list & descriptions from Marc:

0:00 Slownessity
This was one of a bunch of tracks i made when experimenting with slower than 120 BPM tempos.  they all had slow in the title I think but it was really fun to drop the tempo down to get different moods than I was used to getting.  It's sped up for the mix but most of the mood is still there.

3:20 Return
I made this track back in '07 when I picked up the FutureRetro Revolution. I was playing around with the remix buttons on it and recorded this track.

7:30 Dream Sequence
Part of a group of tracks I made investigating possible new sounds for what would eventually become the Drift album (2010).  It has the same guitar darkness that Drift has but not sparse and as moody.

11:15 Mals
I made Mals after hooking up my studio in Berlin for the first time. It started as a way to test some of the synths and microphones coming from North America but had a nice slack feel to it so I made it into a track. Magda used to play it all the time.

12:58 Zed 
Created after seeing a sign about when you're on fire (you should stop, drop, roll).  I wanted to make some slow acid and the words were still on my mind and were used as filler vocals. 

18:09 Veranda 
This was a throwback to the old way I used to make the Run Stop Restore bouncy basslines.  I think this is when I first bought the guitar and was seeing what weird sounds I could make with it and if it fit into dance music.

22:50 Melting (Drift LP, Minus98)
I like this track because it has a high synth melody that disappears when the big thunder sound happens as if it's scared and slowly comes back in when it's safe.

25:50 Seeing In The Dark (Drift LP, Minus98)
One night I was passing out on a friend's couch and my friend Tijana was trying to wake me up - her vocals were so cool I had to wake up and record them.  I did the reverse, add reverb and reverse again trick to make them swell.

29:20 Yummy 
This was another outtake of the Drift album. 

32:00 Blackout
Part of the experiments along with Dream Sequence. The vocals are from 2VM's Veronica Vasicka. 

36:00 Sister Of Plie
This was a funny track that I worked on with Magda. It started out as Klie, then after a bunch of changes became Brother of Klie then eventually Sister of Plie.  It's a weird broken kind of sounding track.

39:31 Bassomatic
Totally inspired by the old 70's sounds i heard on Canadian Public television usually playing behind narrations of National Parks. Television played a huge part of my childhood and TV in Canada has some great synthy sounds back then.

44:22 Slow Cooked
Another Drift outtake I think.

47:10 Demor (Restore LP, Minus23)
Run Stop Restore in feel this was from my first EP on Minus. There is a lot going on but it still manages to sound sparse and moody.

50:29 Black Star (Where Is Kittin? EP, Items & Things IT022)
The first day we made 'Where is Kittin?' and the 2nd day we returned to the studio to make something more grave, serious and dark sounding.  We were playing around with her voice through different effects and after writing the lyrics, she came in and we recorded some really great vocals. The rest of the track were some soundscape rough ideas I was working on but with the vocals it all fell into place. Lots of Eventide reverbs on this one.
