HILL DUN KILL GUN part. 3  INHERITANCE DICTATOR ACTOR STANCE

Following the smash hit “Summer Beach Edition Compilation” and Dinky’s positively carnivalesque “Time to Lose” EP, Visionquest’s latest collection showcases the label at its curatorial best. Offering up three elegant tracks from across the broad spectrum of dance-oriented electronica. The inspiring juxtaposition of David K, My Favorite Robot and Mirko Loko together on the Fall/Winter Collection works to create a remarkably unified whole, a versatile remarkable collection for the ensuing darkening months.

Following a recent slate of releases on celebrated labels like Freak n Chic, Tsuba, and Supplement Facts, France’s David K starts things off with some serious genre bending.  ‘Ghost Train’ is both lyrically driven and musically driving. Centered around a galloping, urgent synth line and snarling, disaffected vocals depicting the despondence and monotony of urban life. David K’s distinctive production is evocative of British Post-Punk artists such as Gang of Four, John Foxx or P.I.L., but through a post-modern techno vortex, this is like nothing you will hear this year!

An equally innovative, contemporary homage to the earliest experiments in romo-tech, celebrated remixers and recent addition to the Crosstown’s crew, My Favorite Robot’s ‘Forest Fires’ is reminiscent of Carl Craig, Human League and Benoit & Sergio rolled up one heady exotic blend, a truly unique and outstanding track that is already gaining a lot of expediential heat.

While Side A represents Visionquest bringing together the best in off-kilter electronic pop, on the flip side they return to their love of the outer-boundaries and experimental possibilities of the dance genre. A key component of the Swiss dance scene and recent member of the Cadenza roster, Lausanne native Mirko Loko extends Visionquest 07’s melancholic vibe with “Gloria,” a 13 minute odyssey that does for sound what CinemaScope did for film.  Sweeping, audacious, and nothing short of panoramic, in ‘Gloria’ a serpentine melody curls around almost imperceptible moments of micro-percussion worthy of the best of Villalobos. Simply put, this is music for the sunrise after…

Visionquest Fall/Winter Collection makes clear that the label shares the philosophy of every great curator: keep challenging your audience with a coherent diversity—disparate pieces that work together to extend and develop a singular mood.

After several years perfecting and honing their art, the four musketeers: Seth Troxler, Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss and Shaun Reeves, collectively known as Visionquest, unleash their sonic imprint upon the earth. Its debut release is an introduction to new members of the Visionquest family as their great friends and production maestros Benoit & Sergio deliver the freaky and flavoursome ‘Where The Freaks Have No Name’.

Presenting the first release on the most eagerly anticipated new label of recent times, Benoit & Sergio are techno producers with great electro pop sensibilities with previously notable releases on Spectral Sound and a forthcoming well-hyped release on DFA in early 2011. Hailing from Washington DC, and dividing their time between there and Berlin, this three track EP highlights their comprehensive production skills perfectly.

The opening track ‘Walk and Talk’ is a classic example of romo-tech, a heart felt lament to an anesthetized lover; quintessential romantic techno. Contextualized rhythms and sounds pop in and out of the hypnotic groove as the ethereal vocal adds yet more hallucinogenic resonance to this masterpiece of a track. It has already proved popular, a staple in the sets of the Visionquest brigade this summer and a firm favourite with the crowds.

The title track of the E.P. ‘Where The Freaks Have No Name’, is another killer slice of electronic psychosis, undulating arpeggios and ominous sonic sound sledges sedate the rhythm and drive the . Finally the last opus ‘Day Residue’ evokes a great 80’s feel, almost Moroderesque in execution, clocking in at almost 10 minutes this is an epic piece of electronic music so beautifully made, it could have been made on the moon.

The Visionquest imprint will go beyond where music labels have gone before. With diversity and innovation at its heart, it is set to introduce a cream of talent including Footprintz, Tale Of Us, Niki Nakazawa as well as releases by the Visionquest themselves. With limited edition 12” artwork and extra surprises to be found within the sleeve, Visionquest will bring value back into music ownership and explore daring avenues, breaking down the boundaries from their own DJ style and embracing all types of music in their path.

Creating worlds never seen before and the constant return to nature as the ultimate designer and source of inspiration are the prosperous obsessions shaping the artistic practice of Silviu Vișan a.k.a Dreamrec. Growing up around his artisan father who was building oversized toys for an amusement park turned into the perfect context to learn about the emotional experience of immersive environments and the secrets of morphing a place into an event. Not to mention it was the starting point for the self-thought wizard to try his hand at DIY magic either bringing joy or conjuring horror. Years later using videofeedback and layers of state-of-the-art software as tools to explore the unusual time&space where computers become genuinely unpredictable and the output becomes a fluid stream of pareidolia, Dreamrec is channeling in international festivals, clubs and art spaces his own visual aesthetic: immersive, mesmerizing and fictional as if visitors / partygoers physically stepped into another dimension. Video performances, interventions and large scale mapping, collaborative installations at V&A Museum, London (UK), Biennial of Young artists, Bucharest (RO), “Decenter Armory at Abrons Arts Center, NY ( USA), art & music festivals and clubs: Rokolectiv Festival, Bucharest (RO), TodaysArt Festival Hague (NL), ICAS Suite by Club Transmediale, Berlin (DE), Periferias Festival, Huesca (ES), Simultan Festival, Timisoara (RO), EasternDaze Night, Zilina (SK), Crack Festival, Rome (IT), Insomnia Festival, Tromso (NO), Arma17, Moscow (RU), Liquidroom Tokyo (JP) , Fabric, London (UK) etc. Among Dreamrec’s long-term collaborations we would mention the ones with RPR Soundystem of the acclaimed RO-minimal music label [a:rpia:r] and with experimental musician working under Rochite and Sillyconductor monikers.

DAVID LYNCH - Crazy Clown Time

vi•sion quest (noun): a search for personal communication with the spirit world. 

Every mystical journey eventually comes to a fork in the road. The seeker of life’s destiny has two options: remain satisfied with whatever level of consciousness he has already attained, or push forward into ever-new domains of promise and possibility. 2014 sees dance music’s best-known spiritual pilgrims, the Visionquest trio of Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, and Shaun Reeves, bravely embarking upon that wondrous journey. Each member of this celebrated DJing and production team contributes a distinct yet interlocking vision that together forms a seamless, organic whole. Just think of Crosson’s enthusiastic shuffle, Lee’s soulful stare, Shaun’s soft touch. Everything they craft has the same unmistakable flair: slow-burning, shape-shifting, expansive techno and house marked by compositional elegance and unabashed pop hooks.

Although long-time partner and co-conspirator Seth Troxler has stepped aside to pursue other projects, 2013 was the biggest year ever for the four. Inspired by the passing of the Mayan calendar, the group embarked upon Visionquest 13, 13 dates where the boys not only played together the whole night, but curated a true multimedia experience. From London to Buenos Aires, from the American hinterland to the Chilean wilderness, Visionquest 13 was a Freudian trip into the deepest recesses of the Detroit rave unconscious, what Ibiza Voice described as a “collective expedition into the depths of your soul”—but with a sophisticated, modern twist.

Their accomplishments are well-known and too many to list. For starters: a critically acclaimed 2011 Fabric mix; year-defining hit remixes for artists as diverse as Kiki, Wareika, Tracey Thorn, and David Lynch; showcases and dates in the biggest clubs and festivals around the world; and the creation of a now iconic-label that’s played host to dancefloor weaponry from the likes of Benoit & Sergio, Life & Death, Dinky, and Laura Jones—all this while each member maintained significant individual production and DJ careers. But, by definition, no journey dwells in the past. So in 2014 they launched Visionquest Special Editions, a limited-release, vinyl only label. Evoking the experimental sounds of the European techno avant-garde that first inspired the boys back in Detroit, the debut release, remixes of Montreal songwriter Quilla, features a stunning collaboration between Shaun and long-time hero Ricardo Villalobos. With Visionquest Special Editions we see the group at home at a breezy, gentle afterparty, not just igniting the club. As Visionquest winds around the corner into their bright future, they remain open and excited for what lies ahead.
