Recorded in the Autumn of 2017 at their studio in Vancouver's
Deep Blue; "MVX / U41A" is the first new music from Minimal
Violence to be released on Ninja Tune's Technicolor imprint and
the first to be recorded outside their usual home production
space. "It feels like that separation has had a distinct impact
on how we write," say the duo "The division of time spent in the
studio tracking in ideas vs time spent at home refining those
ideas lent to a new workflow." The result is a record that
intends to reduce pop music to its emotive qualities and apply
that abstract nostalgia back into dance tracks."MVX is really a
back to the basics track in terms of gear" they explain, "The
Juno 60 and 606 are both heavily featured which are the first two
pieces we owned. MVX is sustained by a three note melody running
through in an attempt to create a lingering ear worm in the
listener.""U41A was the result of playing around with running
simultaneous layers of sequences into the JV1080 while shifting
through presets. The result was a single synth pass, which
creates the illusion of multiple layers. U41A takes on a
minimalist approach to pop structures mimicking the traditional
chorus/verse pattern."Formed in 2015 the duo, consisting of
Ashlee Luk and Lida P, have a string of releases to date with
labels such as Lobster Theremin, 1080p and Jungle Gym Records.
They also make up two parts of Sacred Sound Club, an artist
collective, label and event series focused on shifting the
narrative of the Vancouver music scene towards its heavier more
experimental community, intrinsically linked to the punk roots of
the city's underground club culture. Their penchant for the
heavier and more aggressive side of dance music is most evident
in its infiltration of the duo's often raw and disorientating
live set. Drawing on Luk's years of experience playing in punk
bands, they combine hardware sequencers, drum machines and
synths, to weave together acid tinged compositions that derive
inspiration from early electronic and minimal synth through to
heavier UK rave and hardcore.
