Contest Of Sins

[PREVIEW] iFormat - Contest Of Sins [LSNDS022]

Joseph McGeechan/iFormat/Obsoleet/BCR Boys(One Half)

Joseph McGeechan began his career in 2008 as one half of the BCR Boys they released on their own Backwater Community Recordings label and also on Perc Trax. With further releases on Synewave and Sleaze, 2011 saw them headline both Berlin heavyweights, Tresor and Berghain.

Joseph’s solo productions are uncompromising basic techno, influenced by the sound of early techno on labels like Tresor, Axis, Downwards and newer labels like Repitch, 3TH, Black Sun Records and Inner Surface Music.

iFormat has a darker, more aggressive, industrial sound. Heavily influenced by the sinister and eerie soundscapes of sci-fi and horror movies, these give a disturbing sense of foreboding to McGeechan’s dystopian, post-punk exploration of the decay of society.

Obsoleet is a journey of exploration of the inner self, exploring the boundaries of human emotion. Using dark, industrial, metallic and almost sci-fi sounds, we try and find ways to reconnect, with ourself and those around us, standing on the borderline of uncertainty, looking for escape.

To become obsolete, is to no longer be recognised. It no longer becomes relevant who makes the music, but more what the music is about. In an attempt to no longer be yourself, you choose to assume another identity. Disconnecting from yourself, to become something you are not, as you attempt to escape something you no longer want to be.

His music can be found on labels like: Synewave, Local Sound Network, Perc Trax, Prosthetic Pressings, Djax Upbeats, Sleaze, Monolith Records, Writtentozero, Decoy, Nightmare Factory Records, UFF Records and many more.

His music has been supported by artists like Regis, Ancient Methods, Ryuji Takeuchi, Adam X, Zadig, Dasha Rush, Xhin, Reeko, James Ruskin, Luke Slater, Bas Mooy, D.Carbone, Dave Clarke, Norman Nodge, Rebekah and many more.

He has been remixed by artists like Ancient Methods, Perc, Ryuji Takeuchi, Excluded, Voidloss, Electrorites, Sawf, K209, Go Hiyama, Gary Beck, Mike Humphries, Audio Injection and many more, and has remixed artists like Ryuji Takeuchi, Miss Djax, Patrick DSP, Gary Beck, Monoloc, Hans Bouffmyhre and more.

Joseph has played alongside a wide array of artists like Zadig, Sleeparchive, Davide Carbone, Ascion, Steve Bicknell, J.C, UVB, Max Durante, Damon Wild, Marcel Dettmann, Diego Hostettler, Dave Ellesmere, Norman Nodge, Bas Mooy, Xhin, Rebekah, Hans Bouffmyhre, Billy Nasty, Space Djz, Psyk, Angel Alanis, Patrick Walker (FSG), Erphun, Casual Violence, Bill Youngman, Joey Beltram, Alan Fitzpatrick, The Advent, Slam, Pacou, Violet Poison, Mace, The Horrorist and many more.

He has been a regular guest in Tresor, as well as playing other clubs in Berlin like Liber Null, Suicide Circus, Subland, Berghain, Griessmuehle, and places like Madrid, Prague, Amsterdam, Koln, Moscow, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Manchester, London, Leeds and Birmingham.
