Biography Bitbasic

London-based Bitbasic aka. Simon Haycock, has released several EPs and albums through other netlabels such as Monotonik and Testpilot Music before; Bitbasic started his musical adventures at the age of 15. Playing out with a laptop and 40h monome, Simon uses his self-written software ‘dj64′ which modells a mixer and two turntables virtually.

As the music magazine Drowned in Sound has coined Bitbasic’s virtuosity “in nodding to the likes of Nathan Fake, Four Tet and Paul White among others, Haycock is [...]bringing together equally excellent and equally diverse genres and wedding them into a sound distinctly his own.”

Bitbasic has recently played live at the Unique Beats Festival 2010 in Edinburgh as rec72 netlabel mates Pandacetamol did in 2009.

The majority of Pandacetamol tracks are recorded in one take and then edited and polished as required.  They wholeheartedly believe that this method of capturing the musical “moments” as they happen when a jam is in process is an essential component in conjuring electronic music that has an organic atmosphere and emotional edge.  Dark but filled with hope, hypnotic but constantly morphing, opulent but sinister, their tracks are bite-sized journeys which together make up a full tasty meal of sound.  Each of their EPs and albums are carefully composed to be enjoyed as a whole.

“Shiver me Timbres was the result of some hazy jam sessions in Edinburgh throughout the summer of 2009, (a GOOD summer!).  It is laced with indefinable feelings of nostalgia, joy, melancholy and a healthy dash of disquiet.”

(Pandacetamol, May 2010)

Tracklist Shiver Me Timbres

01. Drop your cutlass
02. Orchid
03. Alarm at eleven
04. Gambon
05. The Jolly Rodger
06. Chips that pass in the night
07. Treasure map
08. Countered with Calm
09. Circumnavigation
10. Dove in an elevator

Biography Pandacetamol

Pandacetamol are Paul Alexander and Mark Rushbury, a pair of bald blokes who originally hail from Glasgow in Scotland.  They possess a genuine passion for sound and synthesis and love jamming on their bargain vintage analogue synths and shiny grooveboxes.  The result of these jams are musical doodlings that are ethereal, dark, funky, beautiful and strange all at once.

Previous exploits in Pandacetamol noise-sharing have included three albums released on the wonderful experimental ambient netlabel Earth Monkey Productions.  Unleashed to the public throughout 2008 and 2009, the albums  “Heavy Concentration”, “The Mystery of Spyglass Hill” and “Nocturnal” have gathered over 6000 downloads between them to date and are all still available for free on the internet archive.

Thanks to a love of early nineties psychedelic acid music, (especially the other-worldly sounds created by Air Liquide, Dr Walker, Khan, Thomas Heckmann etc), a friendship was formed with Dr Walker through the We Call it Acid forum in 2007.  After a few tracks were shared, Pandacetamol were invited to play a live gig alongside Dr Walker at the ArtTheater Cologne in March 2008.  This led to a Pandacetamol DIGIrelease through the cult Cologne label Propulsion285 called the “Hazy Gaze EP” which contains 5 tracks of funky and intense acid breaks for sheer listening pleasure.

More recently, an album comprised of a live set recorded during an appearance at the  UniqueBeats event for the Edinburgh Festival in August 2009 was released and a Pandacetamol remix of the track Special K by Radio Scotvoid (Scott Buchannan of Small Radio) appeared on the amazing album Fragment (Consider Revising) Special K Edition 2010.

U.G.L.Y. is here for you crowds licking for some New Plastic Soul by one and only Berlin Asphaltgöre: Zoe.LeelA!

The new mono single U.G.L.Y. is a bas(s)tard, a mix of UK sprung Jungle, a clever play between ugly tuff beats, and some heavy guitars; pouring down on Zoe.LeelA’s instinctiveness and voice. Forget about vulcano stories you might have heard: U.G.L.Y.  is a stunner.

Zoe.LeelA’s performance on her new mono single U.G.L.Y. is pushing the limits of pop and glamour being punched with some punk on the dancefloor,  as the German Press coined her own style and genre.

On April, 16th 2010, Zoe.LeelA will hit the stage live at re: publica 2010 Festival at Kalkscheune in Berlin.

“It’s like a dream where everything is familiar but everything is different”, he confesses. The sounds on his album were carefully constructed from acoustic instruments and natural sounds which were manipulated and molded into drones, rhythmical loops and melodic patterns. The only exception was “Don’t Panic” which is entirely electronic. The melodies themselves are equally unconventional, sometimes with slow and subtle movements and other times making dramatic and unexpected twists.

“I don’t usually talk about my musical influences but while making this album I was listening to Can, My Bloody Valentine, Brian Eno, Miles Davis, Slowdive and Erik Satie and after much debate decided to include my version of Gymnopedie 1. There are also many non musical influences but that’s something I won’t divulge.” (nisei23, march 2010)

His own reflections on Sparkling G! album: „It is not a concept album”, there is no idea behind the music, there is no thinking involved! „I tried, as in most of my music, to put as much soul in it as I can. I always try to tell something coherent, realistic, even if I have no idea what it is.“ The major point of his music is to tell what can’t be told in words, to express what wants to come out, with very little control. „I would say that the only conscious input during my music making process is the attempt to make it musically universal; to give it a certain coherence. I make sure each track is meaningful to me, with the hope that it’ll be meaningful to someone else, too.“

Analyzing his own music and creation process, yan_g considers the lower frequencies as dark, and the higher as bright. „Which, I guess is universal because on many audio devices the boosting of high frequencies is called brightness.“ The sparkles he mentions in the title refer to that. yan_G tries to sculpt stars with the high frequencies, above a beautiful landscape made of bass and mids. Bright details that sparkle in your ear.

Besides the most obvious Plaid and  Squarepusher (Warp), yan_g’s major influences are Freeform (Skam) for the production and composition, Leila (Rephlex) for the soul, and LRAB (Audio Aubergine…) for the bright moments.

Artist info: Yann Guillermou aka. yan_g (born 1979) is currently living near Paris, France. He started composing music when he was a teenager, on Atari ST using Protracker, then stumbled upon guitar music, and returned to Electronica. Nowadays he is taking jazz guitar lessons and listens to more and more jazz so: In future yan_G will most probably provide much more jazz-oriented music than we hear on Sparkling G!.

Excerpt from # Net control

Download “Net control” album by Monopole for free

The material used in this album are hand crafted by Richard Sudney. Field recordings that were used, contained various samples of shortwave broadcasts of data transmissions , others are from vintage reel to reel tape recordings from the 1950’s of radio transmissions. A home made audio possessor was used along with a $30 key board synthesizer, and hundreds of pain stakingly put to gather micro samples. All of which made “Net control” a crafty album.

About Monopole (Richard Sudney)
Richard Sudney was born in Detroit in 1978. As naturally curious individual he was drawn towards electronics and shortwave radio at an early age. It wasn’t until his late 20s and early 30s during college when he amid his curiosity to netlableism. “In a media like the internet where free thinking is the material of it’s construction, it’s a no brainier that netlableism exists in it”(Richard Sudney 2009). In 2005 Richard Sudney (a.k.a. Monopole) started creating simple melodies on his computer by ways of using software based oscillators. As time went on, Monopole a self tough musician, got a hold of a children’s keyboard synthesizer at a flea market. At this time, being a student in college studying electronics, it was natural for Richard to make electronic devices, so he set out to make a audio processor which is to accompany that $30 key board. This processor can be heard in many of his compilations. At the present time Monopole is growing away from cheap synthesizers and leaning too sounds of short wave and field recordings made by him with a homemade field recording apparatus. “Micro samples of field recording that I made while roaming around abandon factory’s and houses in the Detroit area, are the next level of electronic music after the synthesizer and processor. It gives the impression of lofi but still maintains the electronic feel.”

(Richard Sudney 2009)
