Release Note ......::
Volte-Face's BleeD releases a third and final 12" of the year, welcoming two
exciting young American artists into the fold, Archivist and Fugal, for a debut
collaborative EP. Both artists are residents of the Seattle based Secondnature
label/party, although Fugal is currently based in Berlin. The EP actually came
about when Volte-Face heard 'Undertow' on one of Archivist's mixes, enquired
where the track could be purchased, only to find that it was a one-off
collaboration with no plans for a release. The idea for an EP was proposed and,
despite the transatlantic journeying required to make it happen, the record
came together relatively quickly. Former Secondnature guest, the Northern
Electronics/Semantica affiliated Acronym, rounds off the EP in resounding
fashion with one of his most direct efforts to date..
All four tracks are staunchly club-focused, with the A1 'Being & Nothingness'
setting a pensive, blue mood driven by a siren-lead and melancholic pads. 'Far
Horizon' retains a similar mood, albeit subtly trancier and more invigorating.
Acronym's remix is more driving, with buzzsaw atmospherics and biting
percussion with the original melody deployed to beautiful effect in the closing
stages of the track. 'Undertow' is arguably the most dramatic track on the EP,
with a pervading sense of menace throughout.
