Combining the innovative, nuanced beat programming of IDMÆs heyday with a knack
for pop melodies and the ambient textures of classic synth pioneers of the
seventies, Outputmessage (Bernard Farley) blends pretty listening and modern
electronic music with a steady sense of history and funk. His filtered-out dub
of DabryeÆs ôHyped-Up Plus Taxö caught the attention of Ghostly International,
landing him a coveted spot opposite Prefuse 73 on the ôPaybackö 12ö EP.
ôBernardÆs Songö followed on ôIdol Tryouts,ö the critically worshipped
compilation of GhostlyÆs hottest new talent. In an era where most IDM artists
are more concerned with making their software do backflips than they are with
conveying emotion and shaking butts, Outputmessage transcends the genreÆs
chin-scratching trappings without pandering to the Ibiza crowd. For every
micro-stutter, thereÆs a bass hook; for every choppy breakbeat, a bit-crushed
pop melody. This is the key to the Outputmessage sound - the perfect paring of
brains and bodyrock.
