Yeah man, this is like some old Dan Bell tackle, pulling one off the shelf
nowàö was the emailed response from a colleague when asked for his initial
thoughts on Murph Tone Jack Session II, the new record from Hakim Murphy on
the Synapsis Records label he runs with Inbum Cho. For those readers no too
familiar with the music of Dan Bell, the colleague in question was probably
referring to the minimal nature that defines half of Murph Tone Jack
Session II. The remaining productions are, however, more in line with the
prevailing tastes of 2013; raw analogue house music.
It doesnÆt get much more minimal on this record than the opening track
ôJbonzaö which could well have been produced using just the one drum
machine, a synth, and the record button. ItÆs the primitive simplicity of
the track which makes its few elements (kick, clicks, claps, percussion
one-two-and-three, and that trippy synth) so bold. This is what m_nus could
sound like.
ôChicago Headö on the other hand is not so basic, but more in tune with the
rougher house productions Murphy has long produced under various names.
ôLetÆs face the facts, ugly people have to pay as much as they weigh,
sorry, blame it on your mother and dad,ö is just one passage from an
unknown voice preaching street truths, which sound like they were
surreptitiously recorded on an iPhone from the inside a moving carriage on
the New York subway, perhaps when Murphy was on his way to DJ SpiderÆs
studio deep in Brooklyn. Layered under this bustling noise is a three-part
drum process û and a sweeping neon synth of refreshing dub û that donÆt
fully reveal themselves until the trackÆs end.
The blurry aqua-chords of ôTender Bö represent MurphyÆs other dalliance
with a more minimal approach on this record, sounding like a merry-go-round
thatÆs been plunged to the bottom of the sea, while the skipping
arrangement of drums adds to its playfulness. Paralells with Omar S track
ôThe Shit Babyö abound on the final cut ôGestationö, with the two tracks
sharing a similar style of walking bassline and jazzy keys, only MurphyÆs
approach is pleasantly drowsy in comparison. This is raw analogue house
music with a minimal twist
enjoy!
