RELEASE: MARCH 2014

TRACKLISTING

A2 - Non-Functional
B1 - Non-Functional (Azada's Rare Form Reinterpretation)
B2 - Welcome To My Chevy

Roll out the grime-covered welcome mat for the sixth installment of PROPER TRAX! Armed with a stack of filthy, ash-covered analog sound machines, that would make most studio pros weep in anguish, Grey People return with Welcome To My Chevy. 

Flipping on the JACKMODE switch, the record kicks off with a hefty helping of distorted neo-discopunk grime house with the mysteriously titled "DCGWIO."  Pure, unadulterated bang-bang time, son. In drastic contrast to the A1, and being no stranger to risky decisions, Grey People go off the deep end with "Non-Functional." Guaranteed to bring couples together for an awkwardly hesitant slow dance, it's a sonic voyage akin to the legendary Casio-ballads of the late, great Wesley Willis (only no Casio, but heaps more unf). 

Turning it over, Papa Proper (aka label don Will Azada) drunkenly arrives to the party in rare form with his spin on non-functionality. With the "Rare Form Reinterpretation" he makes no bones of blatantly stealing the original's dubby bits to use as the basis for a total, ground-up reconstruction featuring all-new errthang. With the microphone recording, Azada rambles somewhat coherently about the trials and tribulations wrought on by the mysterious white powder-laced, 24-hour party people lifestyle of being an in-demand member of the global yacht club DJ circuit. A proper Ibeether anthem if we ever heard one, this is sure to be enthusiastically downloaded by the best and brightest superstar DJ interns. 

Of course, by now you're all wondering, "why the fuck is this thing called Welcome To My Chevy?" Well, you're patience is about to pay, because the answer is revealed with the sizzurp-slurpin' gangsta lean post-trap house of the title track! Breaking with modern traditions of overly-long bongo-laced Traktor tech-house that you wish would just get to the fucking point, Grey People succinctly insists that ya'll hop into his Chevy, hit the dancefloor and get nasty. Or something like that. Bitch.

This is the story of C POWERS. To understand OYSTERS, you must understand the man behind it all...

THE UNITED STATES TERRITORY OF GUAM, ca. 1989

Abandoned at the island nation's only beachfront techno club as an infant, young Christoph (C POWERS) was adopted by the club's owner, Geraldo Powers. During Geraldo's time as a naval officer, he traveled the world throughout rave's formative years, secretly going to the underground parties when arriving to European ports after having originally fallen in love with early house music as a teenager in his native Chicago via roller-rink parties and the legendary Music Box headed by Ron Hardy. Rear Admiral Geraldo, outed as a gay homosexual during the discriminatory days of Ronald Reagan's U.S. military, was forced to retire, but spared a dishonorable discharge thanks to his roster of medals earning during his exemplary leadership for the invasion of Grenada in 1983. 

Throughout his three year stay at the local naval base, the now 30-something Gerry Powers had been struck by the natural beauty and unsettling mysticism of Guam and its peoples and  made the choice to permanently set up shop on the island after his unexpected retirement. Taking his partner and newly-crowned Supreme Butch Queen of the New York vogue circuit--Amadeus Lector--with him and financed with $6669.69 in prize money, the new era of DAS POUNDHAUS LTD. was to begin.

In 1990, Gerry founded the notorious Guamanian club DAS POUNDHAUS (the name of which was strongly influenced by a two-week long ecstasy and Polish speed-fueled bender during 1989's inaugural Love Parade in West Berlin). Located inside a decrepit lighthouse originally built during Spain's reign over the island, the club played host to a steady stream of closeted, Pacific-touring U.S. military personnel and later, the party-craving barons of the dot com bubble. Outed in private usenet circles for its off-the-charts hedonism, the club's infamous parties would inevitably lead to its perilous demise, and the eventual deportation of Gerry Powers and his family to the mainland. 

But there was one thing that could never be taken away from them...

...synesthesia...

You see, young Christoph was diagnosed with the "disorder" as a pre-teen after having been exposed to nearly a decade of DAS POUNDHAUS first-hand and at such a young age. The youngster was like a fish in water during his childhood in Guam, but when the family was deported in 1999, he began to show signs of anxiety and depression. His ability to hear colors and see sounds had simply turned into a stream of incomprehensible, uncontrolled static. He was now a pariah among his peers. Shunned and admonished. Assigned to sit by himself during school lunch. One of "those" kids. 

By this time, his two dads' relationship was on the rocks and would quickly unravel. Amadeus, frustrated with Gerry's incessant ramblings about bunkering in Montana because of the Clinton-Illuminati conspiracy to enslave the middle-class, decided to leave Gerry in an attempt to become a backup dancer for Madonna during her "Drowned World Tour" in 2001 (which would have provided a significant sum of financial security to the family, considering their life savings had been destroyed thanks to the toppling of the NASDAQ from its peak of 5048 in March of 2000--and thanks to those dot com baron stock tips, the Powers were all-in). However, Amadeus' unflinchingly "authentic" vogue style was considered obsolete, and he would go to die in a Reno Motel 6, a victim of drug abuse and that kind of thing apparently.


>>>>Fast-forward to the year2012ish>>>>
