Behind the Bass / Club : Release Notes

Wonderful Dave Huismans (A Made Up Sound) prod. warm & moving leftfield house / beat collages & excursions. Second of the initial two volumes in a small new 12 series – each ltd to 300 vinyl copies cut @ D&M, with stamped colored sleeves & labels designed by Bernie van Vlijmen. On 002s opener Running Out (A1), midtempo percussion & chimes take their time settling into their groove in a playful back & forth, before pulling back halfway through and letting the light in for a heartstring-tugging finale. Offbeat oddity Cascade (A2) chirps, blips, stretches and hisses like a living organism, building intensity towards its climax and release, while the loving embrace of Walrus marks an empathic high point in the series so far, its warm and delicate 11-minute narrative unfolding across the entire B-side. The visual concept for the ex_libris series comes courtesy of Bernie van Vlijmen, who translated the round and fluid character of the music into a palette of muted natural colors and stamped shapes emerging through a designed process balancing chance and intent, inspired by natures unpredictable rhythms and hydrostatics in particular: guided by its own quiet logic, no two outcomes alike, like waves crashing. Organic and alive, as if they surfaced on their own.
