Putting on the ritz

Jheez we're back on the podcast with a power hour from one of MCR's finest crews - Kultura Collective. We've been well impressed with their forward thinking line ups & sick run of releases, so it's a pleasure to welcome them on and hear what they're digging atm.

As for the mix, we were seriously gassed why we heard the blend and energy that went into it. Broken beat goodness & grime instrumentals, laced in with pure sauce throughout. 

We hope you enjoy <3

Coyote Records with Chemist & Numan - 29 August 2021

‘1800-PARASOL’ is a collection of MIDI-centric trance pieces, concisely expressing Parasol’s foundational ideas on music-making. Born from a dissatisfaction with music technology tending towards digital or analogue extremes, it situates him within a new school of instrumental trance, alongside Himera, 500, 7038634357, and the “master of disappointment” Lorenzo Senni.

MIDI is Parasol’s obsession, and ‘1800-PARASOL’ is the result of him embracing its compositional potential. Like MIDI, ringtones are a communication protocol that transcend age and complexity, each revealing something transferable and personalisable. Leading by design, there is a feeling with each fragment that more should follow. Parasol has taken this prompt, and revealed a little of the world beyond each snippet.

Parasol strikes a careful balance between technicality and affect, generating interesting sequential variations using the limitations of MIDI and Ableton. Supersaws are juxtaposed with toy pianos, vocal chops, strings and modular synths, in moments of chaos that break away from MIDI’s neatness. Though drumless, the tracks are propelled by ultra-thin transients that punch through and create rhythmic interest.

About the artist:

Parasol, aka Chuyi Wang (he/him), is an Eora/Sydney-based producer, radio host and MIDI enthusiast. He co-hosts the show Deep Web on FBi Radio with Krishtie Mofazzal, which “zeroes in on the frequencies originating from musical cyberspace, shining a spotlight on labels and releases that come from all corners of the internet." He recently made their debut on the compilation Mutants Mixtape #5: FREE, where his track ‘Jitterbug’ serves as the opening track, amongst contributions from Nicolas Jaar/Against All Logic, Giant Claw, Holly Herndon, Arca, Cecile Believe, and Matmos.
