"Massive massive summer vibes from Bobby Tank. The track is called Afterburn. He calls himself a 'maximalist' I guess in reference to the fact that that track has a huge amount going on in terms of ideas and melody and sounds and dynamics, but look at the way he ties it all together: Wonderful." (Zane Lowe. BBC Radio 1 “Next Hype”)

“Its like that post coitus chill that comes just before sleep, or that 5 or 10 minutes just before the codeine comes on when everything’s starting to almost float and soften at the edges.” (Sonic Router)

“An interesting release from ever-impressive UK label MofoHifi, Its not your usual dubstep deal; think Hudson Mohawke on steroids and you’re somewhere close!” (Stoney Roads)

“’Vector Beach’ evokes the more maximal sounds of Rustie but with a wild focus on the boogie that sets Bobby Tank apart.” (Dipped In Dollars)

London-based “maximalist” producer, Bobby Tank, is a marked man, already counting the likes of Starkey, Pinboard Blog and Sonic Router as fans. His latest output, a neon-like 4-tracker, the ‘Afterburn EP’, will be released via MofoHifi Records and drops May 14th. 

Clearly influenced by UK dubstep, glitch-hop and 80s boogie, Bobby Tank's sound is buzzing with nostalgic synths, soulful, blenderized cut-ups, woven leads and atmospherics, thick with heavy bass pressure.

The Afterburn EP will include three new tracks alongside a giveaway track, ‘Circles’.  Released as a digital download, lead-track ‘Afterburn’, will also be pressed on a limited 12” label sampler, available from May 21st at select underground stores.

Prior to signing with MofoHifi, Bobby released tracks through Vermin Street, Aisuru, Project Mooncircle and Prime Dub.  Johnphonics, John B, Memory 9, Brokenhaze and Sam Sure & Giacomo are just a few of the choice names to have commissioned remixes by Bobby Tank just this year.

Now in their eighth year, east-London label MofoHifi has issued a steady stream of club-tracks, boutique electronica and artist led albums under the strap “ElectrofunkinDiscobreakin”.  The label is best known for discovering and developing Italian wunderkind producer, Phonat and can count the likes of Eats Everything, Shir Khan, Avicii, Shinichi Osawa, Bestrack and Norman Cook as fans.

Bobby Tank - Wolpheus

From The Guardian Newspaper:

If you like minimal techno, or indeed minimal anything, you should probably alight here. What Bobby Tank, a young producer from London, does is so crammed with invention, so over-the-top in terms of filling every available millisecond of space with beats and squeaks, shimmering keyboard twirls and pummelling electronic bass riffs, it makes mad maximalists like Rustie and Hudson Mohawke sound like stripped-down Delta bluesmen. And yet his records are all over night-time national radio like a rash, suggesting that either the mainstream is getting more used to experimental music, or that experimental music is getting more accessible.

Not that Tank's music is especially avant garde or weird. Or at least the raw material isn't. It's what he does with it that will either appeal or appall. No, his favourite music is shiny 80s pop, R&B and electrofunk (the latter these days mysteriously referred to as "boogie"), and his all-time favourite artist is Michael Jackson. So far, so commercial. But the way he presents it – a series of micro-bursts and tiny chopped-up fragments of instrumental licks and vocal loops – means you would have to be a particularly nimble contortionist to dance to it. It's super-melodic and ultra-rhythmic, but it's not one melody or rhythm, it's loads, one after the other, dizzyingly fast-cut. The intent is disco, but the delivery method is dubstep.

Somehow, amid the crazy mosaic of sound and intricate intensity of it all, there emerge clusters that coalesce into something resembling tunes. The title track from his forthcoming EP Afterburn, the one exciting radio programmers across the land, is a dazzling assault from Tank's sampling and sonic arsenal (he uses a MacBook, apparently). You can tell this kid's heart lies in the 80s – obviously not the JAMC/Smiths/Husker Du/Sonic Youth 80s, but the Trevor Horn/Quincy Jones/Jam & Lewis/Teddy Riley one – and it's an eargasmic onrush of everything-at-once and studio shenanigans, although, as we say, you could conceivably move to it at a club, albeit jerkily.

Vector Beach, the second track on the EP, is technofunk with grandiose prog synths, the whole thing given the glitch treatment, like Rustie jamming with Rick James and Rick Wakeman, with Bobby Tank coming over like Bobby O's hyperactive grandson. Circles is a floaty, spacey tale from funkographic oceans that never fails to sail close to the edit. All fizz and bubbling synths, it's like Michael Jackson if he worked with Max Tundra. On Wolpheus, with its clattering beats and outlandish keyboards, the confluence of agenda between funk and prog musicians is made explicit by Mr T, who seems to share both genres' fondness for the epic and penchant for science fictionally futuristic sounds. We can't wait for the bit where he dons a cape and releases a triple concept album.

The buzz: "Outstandingly sultry and ecstatic" – Dummy.

The truth: Reach the gates of delirium, via the dancefloor.

Most likely to: Test the acoustics of a club.

Least likely to: Make an acoustic album.

What to buy: The Afterburn EP is released by MofoHifi on June 4.

File next to: Hudson Mohawke, Rustie, Max Tundra, George Clinton.

After the successful first volume, it was obvious for us to consider a sequel. This year, we welcome 25 promising artists coming from differents scenes such as hip hop, future funk or even house. Once again, Sunrise Blend 2 wants to provide some fresh music for your upcoming evenings of the summer. Needless to say that we hope that our goal will be reached with this eclectic selection of titles at the crossroads of several movements, and it surely has something in common : the 80's groovyness.
