Memory9, or Gadi Sassoon as he is legally known, recently came to the attention of
beat enthusiasts for his popular remix of the first single by DJ Vadim's band The
Electric. Black Dragon is a double single which marks the launch of Memory9's own
label, Mnemonic Dojo, and it confirms that there's reason to be excited about the
bassy, lush sounds of this Milan-based producer.
"One Of These Days" is a footwork-inspired number, driven by deep 808 kick patterns,
cut up vocal samples surrounded by arpeggiated textures, frantic African percussion
and the occasional granular blips. "One Of These Days" is a fast-paced, straight to
the point dancefloor slayer designed to rattle rigs while providing the sonic detail
that will keep the audiophiles interested.
"Fractals and Blades", delivers a more chilled out 72 BPM woven with lush textures
and melodies. Swelling vocal samples, tape recordings, synth lines and masterful
sound design create a spacious, dreamy ambience set against the unqantised hi hats
and sub-bass lines.
On the remix front, Bobby Tank brings his signature mutant boogie twist in his rework
of "One Of These Days" while Valance Drakes twists and morphs "Fractals And Blades"
with his granular bushido, sculpting the sounds of exploding qi over a raw kick-snare
beat.
Black Dragon is availble in digital formats and as a limited edition 12'' picture
disc (100 numbered copies) with silk screened clear sleeves.
