Minimal Synth Group - March 2017

excerpt from "Disparitions" LP (Medical Records, 2015)
-----------------------------
Je suis ce corps, égaré
Soutenu sur le plan incliné
D'une montagne de cendres
Entrelacée de forêts et de lac
Où résonnent les cloîtres
Et la solitude des sommets

Avalanche d'absence
Rouée de coups
Avant-goûts
De débuts difficiles

La gravité prend le dessus
Telle une flèche défaillante
Occupant l'inattendu
D'un grand ciel cinéma

D'un grand ciel cinéma

Les cierges dressés fondent en larmes
Mon ombre portée
Au mode de vie panoramique
M'abandonne
Depuis, je vois la vie en sombre

Possédée par le secret
Des portes fermées à clé
À fleur de peau de tout
Un brouillard de colère m'envahie
Le cœur serré à double tour

Je me tue pour toujours
Je me tue pour toujours

Vient alors l'évasion
Déchirante autoroute
Sauve-qui-peut
Défilement de bitume et d'imagination
Disparition fantôme

Ce ne sera pas la dernière
Ma vie n'est faite que de ça

Disparition fantôme

Ma vie n'est faite que de ça
-----------------------------

DX1 - Too Forward (BALD Remix)

The Meant label really is on a fine run in 2015, and now offers up its 3rd release of the year. This one is a brilliant, club ready package from Rework and features excellent original material alongside carefully A&Red remixes from BALD and ClickBox.
Rework is a German collaborative project between Daniel Varga, Michael Kuebler and Sascha Hedgehog. As well as having ties to this label, they have released on Items & Things, Visionquest and Playhouse, and high profile fans include Seth Troxler. The creative trio has been doing this more than 15 years now, and as such is as good at making essential 12”s as it is full length albums.
Opener ‘Too Forward’ is a freaky bit of slow motion electronic house. Vast kicks form the marching beat as trippy vocals repeat the title’s refrain until it loses all form. Around it, sparking electronics and phased synth lines make for a fine cacophony that will undoubtedly freak out ‘floors.
The devilishly dark and alluring ‘Overdosed’ is a more up tempo track with shadowy post punk energy. No wave synths gurgle and tinny chords light up the centre as a disaffected vocal mutters about overdosing over the top. It’s another perfectly freaky track. Last offering ‘Candy And Korg’ is a wiggling, synthetic house track cut from the Gemini mould. It’s bubbly, rich and subtly groovy and is the sort of thing you’d hear in a Craig Richards set.
Magda favourites ClickBox then remix this one into a sparse but elastic affair with dry hi hats the main hook of a perfectly reduced minimal track. Finally, buy the EP digitally and you will also get a brilliant BALD remix of ‘Too Forward’ that is all tough synths, alien arps and reverb rich vocal ad libs.
Once again here Meant and Rework have cooked up a perfect dance floor storm.

DKA Records is excited to present the second LP from Chicago's Circa Tapes, "Kolektique," his first for DKA. The solo project of Kill Memory Crash's Adam Killing, Circa Tapes explores a minimal and subliminal form of songwriting and production, blending influences from a slew of genres including post-punk, techno, EBM/industrial, and italo to create lush, driving palettes for his bleak yet catchy songs. These 10 tracks run through a wide array of moods, tempos, and themes, yet when presented together feel completely unified due to the unique sensibilities of their creator.
