Lil Pitch's second releasefeaturestwo heavyweightsof contemporary electronicmusic
asprotagonists.
Chicago born DJ Earl is one of the rising stars of the footwork phenomenon:
apolyrhythmic genre coming from the black neighborhoods of Chicago, which has soul,
funk, hip hop and ghetto housereminiscences as its trade-marks.
Simon Reynolds, one of the most influential music critics of the last twenty years,
recently interviewed about his last work, Retromania, spoke about this new urban
music's deviance in these terms: "One thing I thought was really innovative was all
this stuff from Chicago, the footwork stuff...That's one of the few things in recent
years that has made my jaw drop a little bit".
So far, Earl's best outputs have been the tracks included inPlanet Mu's Bangs & Works
and Ghettoteknitianz E.P. (introducing to the entire world the footwork/juke house
genre); no doubt he is one of the most talented dj producers among the members of the
notorious crew Ghetto Teknitianz (Rashad, Spinn and Traxman are its putative
fathers).
Blue Summer E.P. is the title of the work that has sanctioned the beginning of a
human and professional relationship between Earl and us at Lil Pitch.
It promises to be one of the best releases of the next months: not only because
footwork seems to be pollinating electronic music craft in the UK (just think about
tracks like Addison Groove's Footcrab or Machinedrum's and Kuedo's groundbreaking
albums), backing uptheories like Paul Gilroy's Black Atlantic, but also for the
presence of a remix from one of the most eclectic musicians of the last decade.
Blue Summer E.P. will include a fantastic reinterpretation by The Host (aka
Boxcutter): a unique composer and original interpreter of genres (which in some cases
he even anticipated): Irish born Barry Lynn lands on Lil Pitch giving it the status
of cutting edge label.
