Based in Californian Humboldt County, Brian Pyle wanders the world on his countless travels. Far from being restless, he has his very own Pylesque way of travelling. Much like a Lynchian version of Hemingway, he has an eye for the thin layer between restlessness and relaxation, gloom and serenity. Wherever he goes, he ardently absorbes these nuances, rarefies them and moulds them into a seamless array of glimmering styles, from drone and ambient to shoegaze and post-wave, giving birth to yet another creation of his prolific Ensemble Economique project.
On his by now eleventh album and fourth Denovali release "Blossoms In Red", Pyle combines and perfects elements of his previous output into a cohesive narrative. The opener "From The Train Window, Red Flowers On The Mountain" is a surprisingly scarce ambient piece, which feels like an almost infinitely stretched precious moment of time. Despite being austere, it is warm, sublime and incredibly captivating and after listening to its full 8 minutes, one cannot help but to rewind and replay. Having barely escaped this seductively infinite loop, one encounters the title track "Blossoms In Red" featuring Portland electronic duo Soft Metals. Starting off with a characteristic sluggish programmed beat, one is immediately overpowered by the onset of the towering combination of a warm bassline and a shimmering synth ambience. As the track flows, these elements writhe around each other in a delicately beautiful fashion, absorbing the materialising wailing guitar which almost sounds like an ethereal voice, as well as the occasional melodic and rhythmic accents. The next track sees this guitar return in a rather pure form. "On The Sand", featuring jack-of-all-trades Peter Broderick, is essentially just reduced analogue drums, electric guitar, a simple vibrating bassline and hoarse almost spoken vocals. Slowly and methodically, these constituents form a captivating erotic ritual, much like a beguiling and hypnotic mandala procession of imperturbable blissful individuals on the beach. As proven on numerous occasions, Pyle can easily lead all his trumps in the presence of female lead vocals, and "Blossoms In Red" makes no exception. Indeed, "You, By Candlelight" is easily the best Ensemble Economique track with female vox to date. Pyle manages to embed the vocals just in the right minimal amount of instrumental layers, making the track radiate an elusive tranquility. The fifth and closing track "Nothing Is Perfect" is a classically tinged piano piece with only very little processing and sparse field recording samples. With all pieces of the album, Pyle manages to create tracks which feel like being composed only of two or three layers of sound, that are nevertheless allowed to develop a life cycle which seems incredibly long - track lengths vary from 6:30 to 8:10 - but still feels just right. Thus "Blossoms In Red" is probably Ensemble Economique's most minimalistic album, but at the same time - or maybe just for this reason - his most skilled work.

LYRICS

LOOSEN YOURSELF
I DON’T MIND
A LITTLE LIE
GOES DEEPER STILL 
WE BUILD A WALL 
CLOSE IN THE PAIN 
I SHED MY SKIN 
IT GOES DEEPER

HOLD IT INSIDE
THAT LITTLE LIE
IT IS ENOUGH 
BEFORE I COME UNDONE 
WHEAT IVE BECOME 
SO INNOCENT 
I’M ALL MESSED UP 
AND IT GOES DEEPER

COME FIND A WAY FRAGILE BUILD A WALL AROUND IT
WE FIND A PERFECT PLACE & I’M WATCHING SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE

ARE YOU LOSE ENOUGH
WE BUILD IT UP
WALK IN THE FIRE
CLOSE ENOUGH
IT GOES DEEPER
WALK IN THE FIRE

HOLD IT INSIDE FOR A LITTLE WHILE
BEAUTIFUL LIE…

Each Other 'Same As It Never Was'

Busy New Yorkers Max Pask and Justin Strauss team up to become the city's golden boys of a golden era and deliver DEEWEE's latest single release Be Nice To Each Other. The A1 Same As It Never Was marks a newly initiated (sound) period combining tinny drums with hypnotic yet driving chords that alternate but do not contest with each other for the lead. Thus the attached vocal gains enough space to support the overal dark atmosphere of the take and creates a symbiosis of different influences in terms of sound. Same As It Never Was rings in a new wave of music turning the '20s of the 21st century to a decade of musical liveliness.

Each Other's single 'Be Nice To Each Other' will be released on DEEWEE on February 7th, 2020.

In The Dark Moving

Your Apocalypse Was Fab (Minimal Recording)

As the sun gets ready to shine down on another fabulous summer for dance music we've come across what will undoubtedly be one the seasons biggest anthems. Cedric Gervais has teamed with Howard Jones to create a brand new dance floor version of the pop icon's smash "Things Can Only Get Better." Whoa, whoa whoa whoa oh oh...it's a smash...built around Howard's instantly recognizable vocals and Cedric's progressive instrumental.   
 
Set for release in North America this spring/summer on 3Beat, Cedric and Howard have gone all in creating a video that celebrates the amazing 80's and one dude living in Miami during the days of Crockett & Tubbs. Living amidst the Rubik's Cube's, Critters on VHS,Delorean's and boom boxes this down on his luck guy steps foot into a garage that transport's him into the future...where things only get better.
 
From his first residencies at famed clubs Gaio (St. Tropez) and Queen (Paris) when he was just 14 and 15 years old, respectively, to taking over the Miami club scene, Cedric Gervais is one of the most in demand DJ/producers in the world today. His first big break came in the form of 'Spirit of my Life' in 2006; Pete Tong made it an Essential New Tune on his BBC Radio 1 show. Cedric followed with a string of high profile remixes for the likes of Dubfire and more 'Essential New Tunes' followed -- namely in the form of 2009's 'Mauri's Dream' and 2012's 'Molly' which became the soundtrack to 2012 WMC. Pete Tong loved it so much he played it 5 times consecutively on air in making it his Essential New Tune. Cedric's current smash -- his remix of Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" topped the Beatport for over 3 weeks while remaining in top ten for two months solid. Two of Cedric's most high profile club-residencies have been at Liv in Miami and XS & Surrender in Las Vegas. Both of which are now home to his very own SHITSHOW!!! Parties. These events started at Liv and have grown to become a next-level clubbing experience. The ethos is simple, the production and level of effort put into making these parties happen is anything but. Put simply, anything goes at the SHITSHOW!!! events, there is no judgment or rules, only crazy clothes, lights, décor and one of the most up-for-it crowds found in any club globally.
 
Howard Jones first burst upon the contemporary music scene in 1983 and brought his very English song-writing and pioneering synthesizers to an unsuspecting world. His first two albums - Human's Lib and Dream Into Action lived in the higher reaches of the global album charts thanks to hits "New Song," "What is Love?," "Pearl in the Shell," "Hide and Seek," (which he performed at Live Aid in 1985), "Like to Get to Know You Well," "Look Mama," "Things Can only Get Better," "Everlasting Love" and the quintessential "No One Is To Blame," which reached No.1 in the US. A classically trained pianist, Jones applied his technique to the early synths particularly the Roland Juno 60, the Jupiter 8 and the Moog Prodigy. He also pioneered the classic Roland 808 drum machine and the Sequential Pro-One. In the early days he was triggering sequencers live on stage whilst playing and singing, something that no one had done before. Howard still operates on the cutting edge of today's technology and has been one of the leading exponents of the Roland Fantom G8, the Roland V-piano and the Roland Jupiter 80. Many contemporary giants of the dance world have shown interest in working with Howard which has resulted in tracks such as 'Into the Dark' with Ferry Corstenand now "Things Can Only Get Better" with Cedric Gervais.
