IkeaboySleeper Cell EP
"Through one thing or another this EP's release was delayed 5 years. Well I always wanted to make music that couldn't be dated so this shouldn't make much difference provided I was successfull. These tracks were made before I moved from the MPC to the computer set up now which restricted me from pouring fashionable effects on them which, I think, helped them not to be easily dated. I can still confidently stand behind these tracks because even when they were written 6 years ago they were out of step with the Dj charts of the time so they can't fall out of fashion if they never were in fashion. I still enjoy them and they still suprise me despite the fact I've heard them over and over. So here it is -the long lost ikeaboy EP I hope you enjoy it.
Dayna - Dub influenced Detroit techno co-written with Mote. Doesn't sound like Basic Channel or dubstep but a more of a cinematic vibe. In retrospect it reminds me of a tougher Etienne De'Creicy's Super Discount record.
Hitch - Built around a djembe sample played by Ben Small (thank you Ben!) Again in retrospect, Jeff Mills' huge influence on me can be heard but thankfully not in a way you could accuse me of any obvious plagerism. I was getting tired of repetition at the time hence the twists, turns and sharp lefts in the arrangement.
Animus - The kicks on the 1st and 3rd beat with a large snare on the 4th formed the basis for two interlocking bass parts a silvery synth riff, some strings, a little acid and thats it. Alien funk.
Unfocused - Another wandering arrangement in this electro track taking in growling bass, glassy chords and a creamy middle 8. The return after the middle 8 gives me a happy upbeat feeling unusual for my stuff." |
