The Minim Records catalogue expands this summer with further eccentric output. Marking the eighth release on the label is a Montreal based feast for the imagination. An emotional journey from beginning to end, constructed by three Montreal natives, Guillaume Coutu-Dumont, and Vincent Lemieux famously known for their work as the Flabbergast duo, and eclectic composer, Ohm Hourani. Each of the former worked with Ohm individually to formulate the two tracks you can find within the “Pitter Patter” EP.

The A side is the brainchild of Guillaume and Ohm under their new GuiOhm guise. “Gensuit” is an almost eleven minute mind-bending quest of innovatively arranged jazzy drums, simmering synths and pads all conversing blissfully, everything making sense, slowly becoming hypnotized by the the intricate details the dynamic duo have pieced together.

Ohm and Vincent join forces for the B side with their Wetsuit moniker, another pensive and transcending composition that meanders through various minimal moods. As “Blanc Soleil” sways back and forth a trippy vocal sample slithers in and out, seducing the listener to join their otherworldly state of mind.

Each of the artists involved bring a packed bag of their own ingredients driving this release to be an exquisite blend of genres with influences from jazz to world, combining this with live instruments, samples and ethereal textures. An introspective-predominant approach to minimalism from three of Montreal’s finest.

MINIM - 008 - GUIOHM & WETSUIT - PITTER PATTER EP - VINYL ONLY

Romanian artist Dragutesku's "Convalescent" steadily builds from clicks and crackles to full speed rumble, squelchy bass paired with spacey pads and crisp percussion. Cali native Rithma responds with "Watsonville," thrusting the ripped-cone kick to the front before the softer side slides beneath the rhythm for an all-night drive. Russian producer Saktu starts the flipside with "Veidi," a neon-soaked breakbeat floater pulling the low end out for the midsection's chirrupy synth-chat before turning on the jets. From Berlin via Budapest comes Giash's "New Things", a frictionless ride on a hypersonic rail across a bubbling, tonal landscape.

Promising imprint MINIM deliver their first Various Artists: a tasty four-pack of original mixes from a tight squad of global talents. Ukraine native Yaroslav Lenzyak kicks it off for this vinyl-only imprint with "You And Me," an ethereal, epic roller, fourteen minutes of round bass and chunky kicks with pads evoking nature's beauty from space. Fellow countryman duo ANMS follow with "Animous," a shuffling breakbeat that ebbs and flows like waves crashing on a solid 4x4 shoreline. Romanian beatmaker Octave brings the chunky breaks front and center with "The Mist," percussives building tension like a roadster charging through the night, with just enough bass wobble that you ask yourself: is this safe Time to bounce - Peruvian duo Kike Mayor & He Did bring it all home with "Volviendo A Casa," a bubbly syncopated romp with porcelain bleeps and black rubber bass.

The flipside chimes in on Coriesu & Diego Santana’s Moonlife, a steady drive in the American rover along the Sea of Tranquility.

It is our pleasure to welcome the man behind Acmé & Third Stream imprints Alex Font to the next MINIM Podcast Series.

Alex Font, musician, producer and DJ. A lover of all music in general, his main musical styles are based on classical music, funk, jazz, flamenco, latin, techno-dub, but the principal genre is “The Real House”, which is the way he likes to call it.

Alex began to devote himself entirely to music more than twelve years ago buying his first records and deejaying in small clubs in Valencia.

He is strongly influenced by the cities of London (where he lived three years and continuously keeps visiting), Berlin and Ibiza. His musical goal is to have the highest level as possible, surprising the listeners with original tracks and unusual rhythmic figures that never leave the audience indifferent.

His greatest source of expression is the classic house of the main schools of New York, Chicago and Detroit, mixing it with a touch of latin, jazz and sounds comming from techno-dub. His sound can vary according to the mood either live or in the studio.

Alex Font has performed in renowned clubs of Europe, especially in Spain and the UK.

Alex  has been studying music composition, harmony and sound engineering.
Nowadays, he plays the piano, drums and latin percussion, all of these complete his evolution as a musician.

Although his concept of music is to innovate, to experiment and to delve into all aspects of it , Alex likes to keep the roots alive!

Alex considers himself a lover of the 12 inch vinyl and tries to get the best of both worlds of analog and digital.

It is our pleasure to welcome the man behind Archipel imprint PHEEK to the next MINIM Podcast Series. Not just another mix but a live performance by PHEEK featuring an up and coming artist ROOM323 that just had his 8 track debut album released on Archipel. ROOM323 is a minimal house / techno producer & DJ based in Tel Aviv and Milan.

About Pheek:
First taking interest as a sound enthusiast, Montreal's Jean-Patrice Remillard began exploring electronic music in earnest by the early 1990s, teaching himself how to produce and manipulate sounds with software and hardware. Noticed by Hautec Recordings in 1999, the local label released the 12” ERS 1-2-3, Pheek's minimal techno collaboration with Mateo Murphy. By 2002 Pheek had produced two critically acclaimed full-length albums and gained a prestigious reputation for his memorable live sets at Epsilonlab events.

With his music now turning heads overseas Pheek departed on his first European tour, visiting and performing in over fifteen countries. Meanwhile, releasing with German netlabel Thinner allowed Jean-Patrice to consort with a group of peers who could provide invaluable aid and assistance. Beginning to build on an international scale, Pheek now finds himself releasing amongst his idols for such renowned labels as Richie Hawtin's M_nus imprint, France's Telegraph, Denmark's Tic Tac Toe or Germany's Contexterrior, gaining particular recognition for the unique quality and texture of his sounds.

Nourished by his experiences and hoping to construct his own community of likeminded musicians, Pheek founded the Archipel netlabel in 2004. The immediate support and praise of media and clientele allowed Archipel to quickly achieve a key goal, releasing Pheek and Jesse Somfay's Galapagos Excursion Joint 1 as their first vinyl in early 2006. With his little family growing fast, Archipel has now launced the Kalimari sublabel, already at two releases. With Galapagos Excursion Joint becoming a favourite of Sven Vath (it appears on his next mix CD), and Kalimari's Mein Tesh included on Matthew Dear's Fabric 17 CD, Pheek's labels are now firmly ensconced in the international minimal techno and tech-house scene.

His live performances and recordings now in widespread demand, Pheek continues to pride himself on building, creating and developping… Art first.
