Every now again a release drops with us here at Exclusive that brings all daily
productivity to a premature halt as we sit back, take stock and get swept away
on a wave of originality. Freska's "Slow Cold Slow" is the latest musical gem to
have had this effect and its now time for us to bring it to you....
its quite easy to comprehend the musical variety of St. Petersburg's Freska,
when we take a snapshot of his influences. From Sabbath to Kraftwerk via
traditional Russian fare, Freska has absorbed and used sounds, styles and
techniques in his own music. His own work has already seen release on the likes
of Stil vor Talent, Lo Recordings, Karate Klub and Traum, a label that also
invited him to remix "Certain Things Pt. 1" by the legendary Minilogue. A
combination that makes complete musical sense.
Darkroom Dubs has long been home to Freska. His 2007 EP "North From South" found
critical acclaim and was soon followed by the successful 2008 singles, "Tuskee"
and "Merrpink." Having recently remixed Silicone Soul's "David Vincent's Blues"
which is slated for release later this year, Freska returns the duo's imprint
with what is perhaps his finest and most complete work to date.
Freska's three new original cuts show an unnerving maturity in their production.
From the slo-mo indie feel of the opening title track to the sun-drenched golden
house vibes of "Add Venture," via the beautifully grandiose string and vocal
bathed "Honey From Within".
As if that were not enough, we are treated to a brace of blissful remixes.
Fellow Russian Spieltape sweeps "Slow Cold Slow" away on a beautiful bed of
Balearic beats. Delicate chimes and and echoing trumpet abound. Meanwhile, Of
Norway who are fresh from remixing Silicone Soul's "Nosferatu" for Soma's 20th
Anniversary celebrations take on another track, "Minstrel From Venus." Their
wonderfully trippy and inviting Nordic style works to perfection... as you will
see!
