*30 minute EP of dismantled Techno, House and squashed electronics from Miles,
one half of Demdike Stare* Miles is one half of Demdike Stare and Pendle Coven
and has recorded in the past under the aliases Millie and MLZ. After almost 15
years writing music, this is the first release Miles is putting out under his
own name and marks a turning point of sorts in his production style, or rather,
in its sequencing. 'Facets' brings together different ends of his production
style, unifying elements of the House and Techno heÆs most commonly released as
MLZ together with the more broken production signatures usually reserved for
Millie and the darkened tribalism of Demdike Stare. ôFlawedö opens the set with
a Linn loop from the archives, stretched and slowed down with an intoxicated
aesthetic thatÆs somewhere between House and Dub, before ôLustreö re-configures
source material originally keyed in by labelmate Andy Stott with a nice line in
squashed percussion. æPrimerÆ on the flip extends from a Demdike Stare outtake
and veers off into an analogue drum machine ruckus, before ôOn The flyö ends
the set with a recording made straight to mixing desk from an array of
mis-wired and malfunctioning drum boxes, contact microphones and samplers, over
at his studio The Mill earlier this year.
