Release Notes:
Here's the story: King Roc wrote dance music, once. He's half
of the wildly successful techno / deep house duo Two
Armadillos with Giles Smith of UK club pioneers Secretsundaze.
He DJs Brazil, China, Australia, a couple of times each year
each as well as regularly playing the big European and UK
clubs. He lives in Brazil and Berlin but really he's a
nicely-mannered gent from southwest London. And he's carved
out quite a job reinterpreting big names from Future Sound of
London to New Order to S-Xpress to new blood like D-Nox and
Beckers. But he doesn't like to talk much, and two years back
he was fed up to the back teeth of 4/4 for the dancefloor. So
when he met Australian artist Seb Godfrey of Drunkpark, they
hatched a plan together.
A concept album that won't explain itself. (But it started
with some ideas about dreams, intuition, happenstance and
coincidence.) No talking. Big secret theories. A concept
album.
Starting with: A set of four collectable 12"s (each with a
lovely poster!) Artwork by Seb, each 12" with its own theme -
the first of which was "chance". Music by King Roc - but the
12s had to run from ambient to trip-hop to indie to
Orbital-style oldschool to techno.
And then: for the final CD, each track had to be ripped apart
and thrown back together for its reappearance on the CD - with
trip-hop transformed into a beautiful vocal number, or techno
into lush, beatless cinematics.
Voila - the CD you have now, Chapters.
