Behind the Electronica : Release Notes
As Poorly Knit completes it’s first arc of the Sun, it’s children become four, as a new mini LP is born. Tending to his crop with dreams of rotation, Bruce sows and scythes four new grains in the porky mill. Of this strange fruit, that further explores his increasingly familiar, hyper-real and sonically surreal work within this current movement, he finds his foothold once more in a wild world intensity: fear and fury grappled in equal measure. What’s more, in celebration of the plentiful harvest thus far, (let alone in the interest of seed diversity), Bruce invites four fellow reapers to the farm, offering their recipe from the spoils of the label’s yield: Vancouver based Brit-abroad, dj_2button pulls apart ‘The Hand,’ with his ‘Accidental Mood Mix,’ to be reborn as an Odyssian 13 minute stomper: “a fight of emotions, of light and dark; in quiet protest to the incessant fear mongering that slowly numbs us on a global scale.” Balearic shores can be seen glimmering in the distance, whilst you are dragged by part man part (very horny) bull into the depths of dancefloor madness. re:ni proves she is the captain of her own ship as sweet SSRI numbness billows in the sheets and fraying, dubwise halyards tether and tear through her devilishly elegant ‘sertraline queen mix’. polyrhythms plotted and percussion plundered; the vocal from ‘Golden Water Queen’ sounds oh so sweet in the claws of its new Regina. Hotly titted deep house reviver, fka boursin empties clips with their bubblegum ‘boomkat mix,’ of ‘The Price,’ swivelling the original’s brash and bawdy bonce, to face a 120 reality we all need to wake up and start sniffing. Sprinkled with trauma on an icing of a bassline more than a little rood, boursin is packing enough cake for the whole function to take home in (dreadful) goody bags (and even allowed compression in the mastering – mental). Last and indubitably not least, from lying somewhat dormant in the depths of UK dance music legend, none other than flippin’ Untold (!?) rises to seal the release with typically megalithic prowess. Proving he was just resting his eyes for a bit, his ‘A1 Mirabelle Mix,’ weaves and whips an otherworldly beauty, technically tantalising ‘Dham’s Jam’ in adornments both sour and sweet. It’s nothing short of a cloaks and daggers banger, primed for the darkest of dancefloor cosmic moments, and serving as a little less-than-warm-reminder that Untolds presence in the world of dance music is crucial as ever. Frankly, if you couldn’t tell from all the verbose waffle, they have all absolutely smashed and finessed it: they were all approached after expressing a real resonance from the previous releases and it’s such an honour to have them and their fantastic visions on the label. Available digitally or on high quality cassette, the final chapter of the Poorly Knit’s first act has been woven whimsically into the fraying folds.
