Release Note ......::
Whetting appetites for Works, Brendon Moeller's ninth studio album and his
first full-length for Speedy J's compound techno stable, Electric Deluxe
present The "Wanderer EP", with remixes from CLRÆs Tommy Four Seven and
Argentine vanguard Jonas Kopp.
Since relocating to New York from South Africa, Moeller has spent the last
twenty years cultivating his dub techno legacy. As Beat Pharmacy and Echologist
he has employed jazz, afrobeat and psychedelic semblances to redefine Basic
Channel foundations, whilst producing a stockpile of records under his own name
for labels like Echocord, Mule and Third Ear Recordings. In 2009 Moeller
launched Steadfast, which has continued to be a platform for his more diverse
projects, including the deep house collaboration with Chicago-based Area, as
Lightness, and his last Echologist
album, Subterranean.
Taken from Works scheduled for release in April 2012, MoellerÆs idiosyncratic
reflection upon "the spirit of techno "Wanderer" nods to the genreÆs dark and
industrial side, whilst itÆs crashing hats and surging bass allude to Berlin
and the artistÆs fomented Berghain affiliation. Growling, guttural strata and
robotic peals further cement it as one of MoellerÆs more dystopian creations
and most driving effort to date. Jonas Kopp toughens "Wanderer" into one of his
signature marching workouts, sliced with urgent stabs. Tommy Four Seven on the
other hand picks up the trackÆs shimmering melody,at the fore in its
pre-mastered state, made available here in digital form,and tousles it with his
distinctive bone-crushing beatwork and crunchy, field-generated padding.
