│release notes.
2007 is fast becoming the year that dub snakes its musty tendrils
back into the minimal techno continuum, and UK upstart Meanwhile is
riding high on the crest of this trend. Their most recent
transmission, Sven WeisemannÆs æShadeÆ EP, is a deftly executed
pair of tracks that straddles the sounds of yore from Detroit to
Berlin. Equal parts Carl Craig and Basic Channel, Weisemann's sound
is informed by his jazz pianist background, weaving effervescent
delay and echo between synth patterns and restrained drum
programming. The result, a remarkably organic sounding 12", fits
snuggly alongside the recent output of labels like Modern Love,
Echochord and Syncom Data. "Floating Dub" - the A-side - is a
lumbering beast of a track, with interlocking cycles of filtered
chords, arpeggiated bass tones, and clattering cymbals falling into
û and out of û sync, while a steel-forged bass pulse holds the
proceedings together. It's a potent formula, perfectly suited to
the dance floors of after-afterparties resting on the cusp of dawn
û a baked dub construction keeping the zombies alive. "Spheric
Wave," on the flip, however, is the real prize. Weisemann allows
the rhythm to control the track, reining in the skittering snares
and pads in order to create a sense of tension in the production,
creating a DJ tool expertly honed for the late night stretch: a
deep dub trance so hypnotic it feels like hours have passed by in
the space of just a few minutes. Weisemann's releases have always
been a treat, but, with the "Shade" EP and another set of tracks
coming out later this summer on Mojuba, he's putting himself right
up there with the likes of Deepchord and the Basic Channel
collective.
Enjoy!.
