In a sign that the universe is conspiring to guide electronic music on to a new and exciting path, Simon Berry makes an exhilarating second solo outing on Platipus with the mighty ‘Anaconda’. On remix duty, Berlin-based sound designer Torsten Fassbender continues his run of exquisite creations for the label, and Kiz Pattison continues his excellent year with yet another superb rework to complete a uniformly magnificent package.

Kicking things off in all its original glory, ‘Anaconda’ is a pulsating, writhing beast. Blurring any out-dated notions of separation between musical styles, Simon expertly blends the past and future to build a powerfully evocative, highly original, euphoric masterpiece. 

Torsten Fassbender summons all his snake-charming skills to mesmerise with an equally dynamic and creative, boundary breaking remix – the peak point where experimental meets ecstatic is an enlightened place to be. 

Anyone who has tuned into Kiz Pattison’s recent exploits on labels such as Minus, Deer Deer, Perfecto Black and Bush, will know of his penchant for minimalist productions with maximum impact. Accordingly, his masterful reworking of ‘Anaconda’ swirls with restrained explosive energy, before breaking into a beautifully melodic finale.

As one half of Union Jack and label boss at the legendary Platipus Records, Simon Berry has played an instrumental role in the evolution of the global progressive house scene for almost three decades. Most recently his collaborative project with Luke Brancaccio has seen the duo top the charts with a series of exceptional releases for John Digweed’s Bedrock, Yousef’s Circus, and Platipus itself.

Simon’s debut solo outing ’Black Rainbow’ (PLATMU100) released at the beginning of 2019, was featuring in the Top 10 Beatport Progressive House chart some 5 months after it first emerged. If history repeats itself, his stunning follow-up single ‘Anaconda’ will be riding a similar wave of support for many months to come too.

Anaconda

Simon Berry - Anaconda (Torsten Fassbender Remix) [Platipus]

I've been listening to electronic music since I was old enough to tune into the John Peel show on Radio 1. Peel first introduced me to Chicago House, Detroit Electro and Rap. I would listen to an entire show with my finger hovering over the record button of my 'tape-recorder' close to the radio speaker just to record whatever 3 electronic imports he would play each night. I wish I'd kept those recordings.
From the moment I first heard 'Roxanne Shante' I sought out everything I could ranging from Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield, Kurtis Mantronik, Africa Bambata, Grandmaster Flash, Gorgio Morodor, Axel-F, Jean Michel Jarre and just about anyone who used a synth to make music! With the arrival of House in the mid-late 80's the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Frankie Knuckles, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Steve Silk Hurley, Adonis and many more American underground House producers, the music had developed into a new, seriously exciting phenomena.
Music progressed at pace with House and Acid imports driving change, the UK in particular underwent an epiphany of sorts in the 80's and 90's. From Break-Dancing to New Romanticism, the music developed, finally morphing into the early genres of Acid Trance, Techno and Progressive Trance. Heavily influenced by American and underground Dutch and German artists and with the advent of clubbing and non-speaking mixing DJ's, it opened up a Pandora's box of new music, influences, sounds and styles. What that amounted to for me (and most others like me) was an ever-growing range of electronic music that was continually breaking free from pigeon-holes and mainstream pop culture. Electronic music had become the new classical music of a generation.
I can only say that electronic or computer music has evolved beautifully in the past 40 years and I love it as much now as the day I first heard John Peel play fantastic American imports.
I'm not anything more than a bedroom DJ and electronic music enthusiast. I have the greatest admiration for those who DJ publicly and seek to build a following or career from DJing, but that’s not a path I’ve tried to follow. I do love to put together great tunes, so for me using this sort of platform for sharing music is perfect for me. I do mixes both on my decks and using Ableton, as sometimes I find it easier to create a journey through that medium. 
As for making music, I’m slowly finding my way around Ableton in order to bring life to the musical ideas rolling around my head. 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the mixes I post, please give me some feedback and if nothing else, support the artists themselves and buy their music.
