Richard Youngs is a prolific British musician (located in
Glasgow) with an extremely diverse output. Dusted Magazine
once wrote he is "defying strict genre classifications since
the early nineties, swapping labels, styles, partners, motifs,
and recording techniques as the desire has struck him". So his
new album for Dekorder might not be a surprise to anyone
following his career. Still, a self-proclaimed all-electronic
ôecstatic House recordö comes somewhat unexpected. With a line
of distinctive synthesizers often used for Techno/House Music
Youngs recreates the energy, euphoria and frenzy of these
styles without ever trying to recreate the music note by note.
The final outcome sounds like recordings made by aliens who
have received transmissions about House Music but never
listened to the music itself. The album reminds of the sound
of hallways/corridors inbetween large House parties where you
can hear the music from several floors collide. While itÆs an
emulation, interpretation or replica of House Music, itÆs
still managing to evoke similar feelings even though some
might find it difficult to dance to the music.
In the past, Youngs has released several albums on a dozen
labels such as VHF, Jagjaguwar, Table Of The Elements, Gipsy
Sphinx, Majora, Chocolate Monk, Celebrate Psi Phenomena,
Fusetron and his own No Fans outlet. He has collaborated with
Neil Campbell (aka Astral Social Club), Matthew Bower, Simon
Wickham-Smith and many others and was a member of the A-Band
and has performed live and in the studio with Sunroof! And
Skullflower. Additionally, Youngs played bass for Jandek,
appearing on three of his live records/DVDÆs.
