Nils Frahm - Says (Vessels remix)

"'I Fell in Love' is a lush and emotive tune, one whose airy melodies and icy structure mirrors the group's "Scandinavian surroundings of native forests and snow," from which Gidge is said to gather much of its inspiration. Spanning over six minutes, the track moves at a patient pace, gradually adding melodies and new layers of miniature percussion to the song's somber bounce as it builds towards its climax."
- Glenn Jackson, XLR8R

Motek Music came to being as a club night, frequenting the underground clubs and warehouses across London, pushing forward the local lesser seen talent around them alongside some of the heavy weights of the industry. 

The natural development from this was towards the Motek Music Label, opening up in June 2014 and nearly two years down the line is now a rising electronic music label within the Deep House and Techno scene. 

Celebrating the journey Motek has taken over the past years, the collective of DJs and producers behind Motek Music present a free bootleg remix of one of our favourite artists Massive Attack. We hope you enjoy this remix as much as we did making it!

I started this track with a simple Prophet patch running through a Moog ring mod with loads of overdrive. It wasn't so much overdrive that it became aggressive, but enough so that it had a simple tonal quality overlaid with plenty of honest low-fi grittyness. Sometimes all it takes is getting that first timbral feature right for the rest of the track to flow from there, and this was a good example for me. 

I also knew I wanted the track to fit later on in the Emergence story, where it should be rhythmically straight enough to fit into a club show where needed, but also for the part of the show where we explore visually, the range of complex living forms and evolutionary change - it needed to capture some of that beauty of life's morphogenetic creativity.

I found the chord sequence fairly quickly, and built the drums and smooth dynamics within a few days, but I got stuck on how to complete the track. I tried hundreds of different ideas, and thought I might need to bin the project, but then luckily stumbled across some old synth jam recordings that had some moments that sounded ok. So I jumped on those and went to work on an editing job. 

It turned out that a lot of the problem I had been having was that I was trying to add too much, when for me, the chords were the hook, and what was needed was a sparse melodic addition to support the chords rather than any sort of traditional tuneful hook. In recent years I've been more and more drawn to just chord sequences as the main features of tracks musically, with the rest stripped away. When Ryan Rival Consoles was considering a remix he commented the album seemed to be all about the chords (or something to that extent), so I guess that idea is in there. Chords just seem to carry the most emotion for me for some reason (as opposed to melodies or lyrics for example).

So there it is, I hope you like the track!

Pre-order 'Blurred' on LP/DL: phonofile.link/blurred

Kiasmos mark their return in 2017 with a new 12” EP titled Blurred — available worldwide on October 6th via Erased Tapes.

Since their 2015 Swept EP, the duo have been performing shows extensively across the world. After writing and recording together in their native Iceland this year, the pair will be bringing a glimpse of light to a particularly gloomy time of year as their light sounds are brighter than ever.

Words from Ólafur and Janus, August 2017: 
￼ 
￼￼“To write new material felt like a new beginning for us after two years of touring. The plan was to ￼write something a tad darker than our previous stuff. Spring in Reykjavík had other plans though, as this turned out to be our brightest release to date.” — Janus Rasmussen

￼“Stimming was one of the reasons we started making four-on-the-floor music and we have been listening to Bonobo since we were young, so it was a great honour that they wanted to contribute remixes for the EP.” — Ólafur Arnalds

￼The EP closes with remixes from British producer Bonobo and German electronic musician Stimming, taking tracks Blurred and Paused into different coloured realms.

The cover art featuring the iconic Kiasmos symbol is by long-time Erased Tapes collaborator Torsten Posselt at FELD.

Gidge - Huldra (Other Version)

I had a soft ebb and flow vibe in mind for this track, where I wanted to make lots of different tidal forces interact, with a flowing binaural dust simulation, lots of analogue delays, and then larger scale opening of each synth into moments of fullness, then back to the quieter sections. 

I used Rob Clouth's "Dust" plugin for the simulated binaural flows. His plugin creates the headphone experience of many particles of sound moving around the head, it's a pretty mad plugin, well recommended to check out if you haven't done so.

We ended up setting the music to a suitably flowing visual scene too, in Ben Outram's footage of microscopic liquid crystals in action, warping and bending light in beautiful complex ways. You can find that video online here: https://vimeo.com/266652990

The track is release as part of my Balance 030 compilation, featuring loads more exclusive tracks and many bootlegs and edits of my favourite music across many genres, all blended into a big garden of ideas for exploring, if you're into that sort of thing! http://smarturl.it/Balance030MaxCooper
