Painting by Bo Bartlett [ Atavisme ] Most of us were taught that if you don't have anything nice to say you shouldn't say anything at all. When considering the three-year gap between original Pépé Bradock releases - and indeed his relatively slender discography over 15 years' time - one suspects the brilliant French producer applies a similar maxim to putting new music into the world: wait until you [...]
Por Federico Moreno El sinuoso camino de los músicos que utilizan samplers para crear sus obras a partir de retazos del pasado, los conduce en algunas ocasiones por el costado más artístico del asunto, mientras que en otras, la curva se acerca al abismo de la demanda legal producto de la apropiación del trabajo de otros. Simon Reynolds , periodista e historiador inglés, editó un libro llamado Retromania sobre la cultura contemporánea y su constante revisión del pasado. Polémico, pero de lectura muy recomendable (por cierto de reciente edición en [...]

"Land o' Goshen, what have you got those big eyes fer?" he snapped, thinking the kids were trying to scare him with some crazy mask. "To see your grave," Raw Head rumbled very softly. "Land o' Goshen, what have you got those big claws fer?" he snapped. "You look ridiculous." "To dig your grave," Raw Head intoned softly, his voice a deep rumble that raised the hairs on the back of the hunter's neck. "Land o' Goshen, what have you got that crazy tail fer?" "To sweep your grave," Raw [...]

"Classic is back - Re-Mastered & Re-Issued'Mouth' was one of the highlights from the 'Wiggle While We Work EP' and now it gets the remix treatment. Pepe Braddock contributes an engaging, intimate interpretation, couching the original's bizarre vocals in the warm embrace of drifting textures and echoing synth line. Greenskeepers' two remix efforts begin with the Tongue Twister Mix which utilizes a playfully pitch shifted jazz guitar riff to create a divertingly quirky reworking, while their Get Of" Beatport Link [...]

Photo by Caroline Hayeur After a few days' rest, LWE contributor Steve Kerr offers his review of MUTEK 2010. On the week prior to MUTEK, The Montreal Mirror (the city's main English alternative weekly) ran a cover story on the Còmeme-signed Mexican producer Rebolledo, who was to perform at the festival's opening showcase. Jack Oatmon, the paper's clubbing specialist, described Rebolledo as "the antithesis of the stereotypical MUTEK artist... raw, guttural, punchy and simple... not preciously niggling over the minutiae of subtle, minimal techno tracks." Oatmon isn't [...]

05. Peter Van Hoesen, "Attribute One" [ Time To Express ] ( buy ) While nothing less than top notch tunes left Peter van Hoesen's studio this year, choosing a favorite was something of a knee-jerk reaction. "Attribute One" was simply peerless in its ferocity, yet so tightly wound and restrained it made many techno tracks seem as if they had forgotten their manners. Never mind the mind-numbing frigid swooshes of white noise or the bass-heavy propulsion of van Hoesen's kick drum; this one was all about that simple melody, drifting away in its [...]
Les saisons, à l'instar du changement d'heure de Giscard, est typiquement le genre d'euroconneries lancées par les impérialistes blancs en vue d'imposer leur vision des choses. Aussi il est difficile d'imaginer en quoi la techno échapperait à la règle - car il y a bien techno d'hiver/techno d'été, du moins à en croire 100% Mag. Le tout est d'alterner raisonnablement et suffisamment 3 fois par semaine un régime alimentaire ainsi composé de trucs un peu calypso / un peu plus raw , glucides / protéines , et tout le toutim. Afin de mieux garder la [...]
Art by Eli Horn [ Atavisme ] ( buy vinyl ) Pépé Bradock's catalog falls into a few different modes. There's elegant deep house (the famous "Deep Burnt," the achingly beautiful "6 Million Pintades" EP, most recently "Mandragore"), hip-hop and electro-inflected grooves (several tracks from his early "Un Pepe En Or" EPs), and eccentric experiments (the fucked up "Rhapsody in Pain"). Though Bradock seems to have left overt hip-hop behind while maintaining the influence in subtler ways, deep house and experimental electronica are [...]

[ A tavisme ] ( buy vinyl ) Underlying Pépé Bradock's production genius is a vein of weirdness which has grown wider and more prominent at surface level with each passing year. Its influence in the direction and aesthetic of Bradock's work was apparent even in his relatively straightforward French deep-house tracks from the 90's, with a willingness to disengage from four-to-the-floor structure to get truly bombastic. His remixes since have grown more and more askew, his original productions more often cloaked in concepts which shade or embellish the [...]
C'est la dernière, c'est gratuit et le line-up est sympathique, allez hop, j'y vais ! Post-report ici même, demain (ou après-demain, on n'est pas des machines quoi...!).
