Platform 23 presents the 2nd (of 4) EPs of music from Exquisite Corpse.  In Between Rhythms II, a deeper, ambient, percussive selection again returns to the project of Robbert Heijnen.  

As part of the post punk / alternative Tilburg music scene of the mid-80s, Robbert influences of expression and interest in industrial and EBM is apparent.   The move from the metallic sounds (as a member) of the early incarnation of Psychick Warriors Of Gaia to embrace the sounds emanating from late 80s Chicago and Detroit saw the band develop from their early cassette ‘1989’ to the fully formed and now revered 1992 debut album, Ov Biospheres And Sacred Grooves (A Document Ov New Edge Folk Classics).

The parallels between this deep, trippy and haunting melodies meets tribal percussions, highlights some similarities of PWOG and Exquisite Corpse’s outlook during this period.   Looking further, upon leaving the former, the bands sound developed a harder edge, with more focus on rhythm and their exploratory properties indicating the nature of Heijnen influence and part in PWOG and how this was further explored when going solo in 1992.  

The release starts with Shadow Play from his second album, 1993’s Inner Light.   Darkness descends to echo’d drums as the vestiges of developing European techno worlds can be heard in the distance.  What A Life, from the Reassembling Reality EP, brings things down with an ambient beginning moving to Reich loops and sequencing that create shifting melodic horizons.  A personal favourite of the artist, the EP saw the realization of the collaborations with Debbie Jones in design and life.

With the consistent presence of ‘third member’ – in mixing, engineering and support – from Tim Freeman, the songs in the series have a unique, but familiar and inclusive nature.  This can again be heard in Sacrifice from the highly sought after Dream Night Dance Music album.  The interplay of drums, claps and swing are enough alone to warrant acceptance.   To close, Tepu returns to the  Inner Light album.   Darkness, Questioning.  Calling.  Second(s) ending.

Following up on the long awaited “Melody” / “Stop Fantasy” reissue from 2016, Mothball Record returns with a lesser known, but no less brilliant, double-sided disco bomb from Plustwo.

Lighthearted and infectious melodies on both sides are matched with superb production and unmistakably beautiful vocals: this is no fast food but elegant music to enjoy for years to come.

For years a favorite in the Mothball offices, yet strangely unknown by many, “Mad Radio” and “New Sensation” will put some unexpected spark in your next disco set.

This musician has been around for quite some time but released only a few tracks yet, mostly on Dutch label Narrominded and these released tracks are quite elektro orientated This 4 track EP is all about acid, techno and elektro beats go hand in hand to make up party music pur sang.

Plaform 23 is delighted to release a compilation across 4 EPs of the music of Dutch producer Robbert Heijnen (Psychick Warriors Of Gaia / SUMUS) and his Exquisite Corpse project. First appearing as a one off contribution to a Katharos Foundation compilation cassette in 1986, Exquisite Corpse was resurrected in 1992 as Robbert left PWOG to concentrate on solo music. 

The first home studio sketches were developed as music to be incorporated in PWOG, the music was often having a more melodic and harmonic content.
With limited audio gear, much was created using tape loops and completed in parallel with mixing desk master, engineer and friend, Tim Freeman, as well as with contributions from partner Debbie Jones (The Mistress/DJ Venus).  Released on Dutch label KK Records, the tracks included in these 12”s are taken from a furtive two year period that saw six EPs and three LPs released.  

Starting with Inner Rhythm (Higher World Mix), taken from 1993’s Inner Rhythm EP, Between Rhythms I starts with intent.  Crisp percussion, relentless and interwoven sequences abound over a dark bassline, before the dub meet world sounds of Kupuri show the depth of EC’s outlook.  

This is backed by the rawness of X-Out from 1992’s Strange Attractor EP.   Recorded to cassette before Tim joined the project, the guttural bass and sharp percussion cross boundaries between house and techno.   This deep tribal sound, full of pulsing drums hightlights a sharper angle from much of EC’s output and as such, is a pure club machine.  

The first EP closes with Sitting In A Tree (Time Flies).  The first track to be taken from their debut album, Dream Night Dance Music, the album is rightly considered their strongest, more rounded record, seeing it now trading at spiralled prices.  With all 6 of it’s songs to be covered across the 12” series, the ambient influences and yearning keys here make for a perfect, first ending.
