LapCore Vol. 1 |
Ooops was ist das? Tingeltangeltechno mit Computerwahnsinn auf 99 Umdrehungen pro Minute? Der erste Track "NoseBleed" rockt mit satten 160bpm in einem ueberschwenglichen Technosound voller Kleinstgeklimper, "Pneumonic" zittert in trockenen Sounds in aehnlicher Geschwindigkeit mit staendig bedrohtem Rhythmus flackernder Euphorie, die etwas ziellos davonsegelt und dann langsam einen eigenwilligen Groove entwickelt. (Auf der Webseite gibt es einen Akira Rabelais Remix des Tracks). Die Rueckseite beginnt mit einem etwas ausgehoehlten hymnischen Track der ein wenig daran erinnert, dass Kent, von dem die Tracks alle stammen, irgendwie aus einem Off heraus zu produzieren scheint, das einer gewissen Art von Sequentialitaet verpflichtet ist, die man auch u.a. bei Philippe Cam findet, aber dazu dann auch gerne mal soetwas wie ein Gitarrensolo legt. Als Abschluss ein Breakiger Track der im gleichen trocken kurzhalligen Sound gehalten ist, der die EP ein wenig sproede wirken laesst. --bleed review in De:Bug |

[6:33] NoseBleed.mp3 (6.1 MB) NoseBleed features raging hallucinatory synth lines riding over 156 beats on the floor pumping sub bass hard techno vein beats. Over the course of the track the dynamic time slicing algorithms begin to mix up the driving rhythmic forces creating a nicely evolving dance texture. Sounds also great pitched down to 142 BPM. | |
|
[4:56] Pneumonic.mp3 (4.6 MB) At 142 BPM Pneumonic offers endless creative possibilities for advanced DJ's and remixers with it's shifting catchy beats, spektralized build-ups, and syncopated filter sequences. | |
|
[6:32] FindYou.mp3 (6.1 MB) Simple harmonies merge spectra together over a straight-up down-tempo beat. The effect is a melodic catchy LapCore LOUNGE TEXTURE, with plenty of room for mixing parts over but also sounds great stand-alone. | |
|
[5:00] SxeBtch.mp3 (4.7 MB) SxeBtch is a tight and dry breakbeat experiment built out of Reaktor3. The source samples come from Prince's "Sexy Dancer" and Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" The rest is 142 BPM pure LapCore. | |

[5:37] Pneumonic_ar_rmx.mp3 (5.4 MB) Akira Rabelais was so very kind as to submit an unsolicited remix of one of our favorite tracks: Pneumonic. Akira cleverly (re)combines the lush soundscape of Pneumonic with his own dystopic sense of groove madness. We love his work and are very grateful for his fully great contribution. We hope you enjoy this remix as much as we do. Visit his insanely cool site: Akira Rabelais. | |

[5:56] SxeBtch_HearMeCall.mp3 (5.7 MB) When I was in Bremerhaven to perform rEtRO fUtURA I met Baradelan who handed me a CD-rom onto which he had burned this wicked dubstep remix of SxeBtch. I was totally blown away. His remix is fett! NJOY! | |

"A1-NoseBleed" features raging hallucinatory synth lines riding over 156 beats on the floor pumping sub bass hard techno vein beats. Over the course of the track the dynamic time slicing algorithms begin to mix up the driving rhythmic forces creating a nicely evolving dance texture. Sounds also great pitched down to 142 BPM. As of release date, "A2-Pneumonic," is the track which has had the most success. A CD remix has been recently made available on a compilation called "The Art of Programming: Sonic Acts 2001," which includes a CD, DVD, and book all containing works from Kent, as well as Monolake, Scanner, Beta Bodega Collection, Rechenzentrum, Otto von Schirach, and more.

Side B of LapCore Vol 1 is significantly more laid-back. In the case of "B1-FindYou" like down tempo hop even. Simple harmonies merge spectra together over a straight up down tempo beat. The effect is a melodic catchy LapCore LOUNGE TEXTURE, with plenty of room for mixing parts over but also sounds great stand-alone. "B2-SxeBtch" was born out of a conversation with Jake Mandell on pop music form in a techno/electronic dance music context. After discussing his strategies for "love songs for machines" with me we traded some reaktor patches, and presto blammo: a sxeBtch was born. she's 142 BPM and Rashad at dubplates and mastering gave her that club pumping sound which he's so famous for: thanks man!
