Gillen (BMG) of the group Ectomorph, we're starting to have our doubts about the Detroit native currently residing in Berlin. His single with BMG, "Is Your Mother Home," conjures visions of a guy who owns an unmarked white van, with pitched down vocals that wonder about the well being of an unknown young thing, and particularly the whereabouts of its mother.

Ectomorph's BMG (a.k.a. Brendan M. Gillen) has united with Derek Plaslaiko (a.k.a. Derek Plaslaiko) for the "Is Your Mother Home?," for the newly resurrected Interdimensional Transmission label. The pair trace their relationship back to the days when they worked at Record Time, and their dance floor knowledge shines on this quirky spoken-word track (check out the video below created by dvdan, who was apparently making videos with Carl Craig and Richie Hawtin in Detroit back in the day).

These days, however, it seems his focus has shifted towards producing music instead of placing it in context. As an appetizer for his set at The Bunker Unsound Edition 1 on Friday, February 5th, Plaslaiko is giving away his foreboding banger, "The Unforeseen," which is also his production debut. The tune can also be found on Halcyon's free Unsound Festival New York Compilation . [...]
