an_on_bast - The Ballet Began At Eight

After making a memorable debut on Catz ‘n Dogz’ Pets Recordings with 2017’s melodic house roller ‘Grateful’, An On Bast aka Anna Suda is back on her compatriots’ imprint with another distinctive release.

Suda has composed work for modern dance performances, and it’s not unimaginable that ‘The Ballet Began At Eight’ might be used for the same purpose. Its woozy submerged
synths coalesce in a floaty, summery haze, animated with a bobbing beat to create a perfect ambient scene-setter.

‘Life in a Hammock’ is livelier than its title suggests, with jaunty stabs laid over spacey, muddied acid synths. ‘Para’ keeps us on our feet, hips moving to its steady, tribal beat, chant-like African vox and persuasive handclaps, while closing track ‘Sway’ blends elements from the previous three. Stiching calming, flutey synths to Afro-beats, a rippling arp and warm chords in a dazzling, dancefloor-geared finale.
 
It's another varied, deftly executed release from one of Poland’s leading ladies.

The Berlin-based duo Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, aka Booka Shade, return to Bedrock to unveil their second EP for John Digweed’s imprint. Coming from one of the finest pioneering electronic music acts of the past two decades, their excitedly awaited ‘Understanding EP’ does not disappoint.

Opening with the dark, enticing percussive pulse of ‘Understanding’, the masterful duo lay down a work of art that invokes the spirit of classic house music with its distinctive vocal samples, bedded perfectly on an exceptional spine-tingling Techno groove. Genre blurring electronic music at its finest. The jittery, buzzing energy of ‘Sonus’ sees Walter and Arno drive the atmosphere towards more experimental sonic territory whilst never deviating from their rock-solid groove foundations.

With their extraordinary individualistic creative juices flowing freely, Booka Shade introduce hypnotising looped hooks, a low-slung Tech groove and uplifting melodies for ‘Curve’. With its subtle added dose of funk, this is the perfect combination to release some heart-warming summer sunshine into the party. As a finale, ‘Retox’ unfolds as a glorious spiralling, heart rushing electronic creation that is the perfect climactic conclusion to an exceptional EP.

Pezzner’s entry into the esteemed Body Language series lands in early 2020, and before that we’re treated to a series of tracks from it.

American James Curd began DJing in Chicago aged just 15. He went on to make his production mark on the Classic label, had music licensed for Grand Theft Auto 4 and has topped Juno sales charts. Here ‘Getting Into It’ is a fantastic disco licked house groover with feel good chords and hip-swinging claps that will warm through the club. Chick Iverson is a tech talent whose standout ‘Alright’ is a stripped back affair with dry hits and sci-fi effects that take you on a roller coaster ride through whirring atmospherics and synthetic sounds.

Switching up the mood again are Homero Espinosa, Cris Herrera & Tokita with ‘Spanish Joint’, a fresh acid jam with lush, swaying drums that build to a peak then pull back before building again, making for a real dance floor journey. Last of all, Beats in Space and Compost associate Tomasz Guiddo links with frequent collaborators Piro and Arnold Kasar for a soulful house cut with warm synths and spoken word vocals that lend the track an intimate, funky, romantic feel.

As well as these fine offerings, Pezzner’s forthcoming mix features four brand new exclusives of his own, meaning Body Language Vol. 22 will be special indeed.

Martin Buttrich is famously as fluent behind a mixing console as in front of a virtual drum kit. That technical prowess, combined with a fascination for music of every shape, has resulted in outstanding releases on influential labels such as Planet E, Four:Twenty, Cocoon, Poker Flat, Nervous and Desolat. He’s also put his sonic thumbprint on many big ticket artists, notably receiving a Grammy nomination for a Tori Amos remix in 2003. Such diverse musical horizons are rare. While other prolific artists may have slowly watered down their music, Buttrich’s star has risen in diametric opposition. His vision has become more and more condensed, more and more crystallised. Flipping and puncturing grooves in a live setting is a snap for him, and he’s entranced audiences at festivals like Time Warp and Creamfields, at temples of boom such as Fabric (London), Womb (Tokyo), Cocoon (Frankfurt), Panorama Bar (Berlin) and Amnesia (Ibiza) and at worldwide Desolat Experience parties with Loco Dice.

Buttrich’s journey into electronic music began in clubs in Berlin and Hannover at the dawn of the ‘90s, when post-Summer of Love-Europe began to swing to its own hypnotic, machine-like groove. At 18 years old he began experimenting with production as X-Rotation (with Daniel Bross), which led to the projects Rhythm Assault, Sounds of Life and Phunk Diggazs (with engineer Andy Bolleshon).

Buttrich began a notorious collaboration with his then co-worker at Peppermint Jam distribution, Timo Maas, in the mid-‘90s (they worked the telephones together). After setting up his first studio in the basement of the Peppermint Park studio building, the partnership led to over 100 co-productions and remixes that included Madonna, Muse, Fatboy Slim. Josh Wink and Green Velvet. Buttrich has produced funk legend Bootsy Collins, while switching the patterns for artists including Tom Jones, Kelis, Moloko, Depeche Mode, Placebo, Yello, War and Roger Sanchez. His Azzido Da Bass “Dooms Night” remix with Timo Maas hit the UK top ten charts.
 
All the while he created an impressive library of beats and collected an arsenal of music production equipment for his studio in Timetools, a studio complex founded in 1997 in Hannover with a group of musicians. Buttrich is happy with the subtle crunch of an SP-12 sampler and the ‘smoky’ vibe of his analog mixing desk – adding a bass guitar or other instrument when necessary. But he’s not above having fun with a laptop either: approaching music programs as if they were video games. He doesn’t rely on any one machine or music composition technique, and his array of outboard gear is mouth-wateringly state of the art.
But he never loses touch with the gritty, human side of music, and the environments that it is played in.

Another key musical partnership, with Loco Dice, begun in 2002, undoubtedly inspired Buttrich to delve deeper into the musical histories that first lured him towards after-dark melodies. In a short space of time they’d built up a deep discography creating an era-defining sound in the process. They spent more than half a year living in New York in 2006/2007, with half of Buttrich’s studio set up in a rickety hideaway in Brooklyn that looked out over Manhattan’s vistas. Between late night production sessions and snowstorms, their Desolat label came to life.

Having his debut solo album Crash Test released on Desolat in early 2010, Martin Buttrich is taking his vision to the road, fusing wild imagination with solid musical architecture, cherry-picked inspiration with true perfection of his musical craft. 

Since then constantly on tour, in 2011 Martin Buttrich still has dropped a remarkable collection of music - productions like “Fire Files” EP on Desolat or remixes for Marco Carola and Lee Curtis amongst others.

Currently based in LA, Martin Buttrich is working on his second artist album and a jazz project called The Stoned Autopilot.

Stay tuned.
