Set It Up

Gianco L - Set It Up (K - Mack Remix)- Nastyfunk Records

In a new series of upcoming releases, we explore techniques and structure of Popular Music transformed to extended, club friendly dub concepts through the collaborative process. Sounds were sourced, generated, sampled, looped, saturated, filtered and warped to create new alternative works from vinyl samples, sourced sound from retailers and studio recordings.

This first set of tracks reaches out to collaborators for administration, artwork, and additional mixing and mastering. When working with Miguel from Team Green, a brief was presented with initial concepts for their interpretation and response to the music. The end product was a collaboration where record sleeves were recycled and the process of creating a silkscreen image would be applied onto the object to represent something old being recycled and reused for a new purpose.

How Ya Feel, How Ya Feel is a slow Techno track that embarks on a journey of familiar grooves reminiscent of Joey Beltram’s classic New York Techno days. As sweat rolls down the breast bone for the first time in the night, one surrenders to the groove with a nod to Chicago and Detroit scenes while tuning into the soul when this song is noticed.

Fries is a Minimal Tech House release with a damp organ bassline that is driven by a 909 Kick pushing out as if it was breaking through your chest. T. Nguyen’s creative outlook melds sonic frequencies inspired by The Pet Shop Boys, Sade and pop female vocals. An early breakdown after the hats, brings up a delayed filled spanish style guitar, while layered vocals swim dynamically to be greeted with 303 arps. This and the previous tracks had additional mixing by Fedrico from Art Facility out of Brooklyn NY and Adam Boose from Cleveland. The pair integrated classic tape and mixing techniques to make the tracks meld with each other.

Uh Ohh, comes to be the third track exploring sounds and rhythms of UK Funky and Afro House music after Black Coffee’s Grammy Winning album. Right from the start, one hears a perpetuating bassline with short synth stabs opening up behind some melodic keys. The drop sets up the strings section with reverberated vocals with a coating of rhythmic shakers to keep the club moving. The track has nods to Beyonce, patterns of Bucie, and shuffles from DJ Sneak. The track was sent to Manchester base mastering engineer Matt Sargeant, which gave it the classic “up north” sound.

The ‘Qwerk Qwompilation Dance Party’ is jam packed with 14 unique and qwerky tracks. This compilation album features artists from around the world, and represents a diverse variety of genres. 

This album is the culmination to the Qwerk labels first year releasing music - celebrating movement, dance, and personal expression. Let’s get weird!

Chris James: Artist QWERKS! 

1. When did you start making music? 
2018, At first I wanted to DJ a party I was throwing, then it turned into me wanting to make a track to play at that party, then it turned into a side project where i made a few previous aliases and released music, and now i'm at a point where I can make this a career, every part of that journey has been amazing 

2. What makes YOU qwerky? 
I'm semi-ambidextrous. I grew up playing ice hockey right handed, throwing a baseball left-handed, playing lacrosse right handed, kicking a soccer ball with my left foot, can eat with either hand, write right handed, play golf left handed and right handed, use a mouse with my right hand, and i run with both feet ;) 

3. If you were a cartoon character, who would you be? 
Goku, it'd be nice to instant transmission across the world and see as many djs as possible in 24 hours. kinda create my own festival out of a day in different places throughout the world. A close second is one-punch man, because one-punch mannnn 

4. What’s your favorite sound? 
running water, ocean waves crashing, there's something beautiful, connected, and grounding about hearing water flow 

5. You’re making dinner at your house… what’s on the menu? 
Salmon (Thomas Keller style), Chicken tortilla soup (Max & Erma's Style), Arizona Ranch Hotwings (w/side of ranch), Spinach, and Choco Tacos for desert 

6. Who are 3 people you’d invite? (from any time period) 
My brothers - with me being across the country, any moment I get to spend with them nowadays is special. We've become so much closer as we get older. I hope they move to LA one day :) 
Skrillex - He's why I started becoming interested in electronic music and i feel like his attitude, outlook on life, and values spread through his music. We're lucky to have a producer like this during our time, he's the guy we all look up to! 
My best friend - we started music production together, he's inspired me to keep going with music when we both started together. He's listened to all of my tracks and gives the best, most honest feedback credits
