Damon Wild - Smoked Grooves EP - 24-Jan-05 10:06 PM
Just after Music Man in Belgium and Kanzleramt in Germany, Pseudo is the third european label where Damon Wild decided to produce a new complete EP. This "Smoked Grooves" is the deep side of a new project. It will soon include the second "Fried Grooves" on his own label Synewave. For this new signature, Damon Wild starts here with "Torrent 1" a pure percussive and warm techno track. Designed to satisfy any dancefloor, this one will take you in an increasingly denser rain of rhythmic elements, sounds and vocal samples. "Desensitize" just comes after in a purified atmosphere full of strange mental sounds, long dark pad and nonlinear juxtaposition of bass-drums, hi-hats and cymbals. On second side, Damon Wild delivers the deepest track of this release: "Games People Play" which is the perfect combination of a really phat groove with some airy chords. To conclude "Numb" is certainly more curious and minimal than the three other tunes, with a hypnotizing and repetitive acidic sound. In anyway, "Smoked Grooves" is definitively a new musical adventure, drawn by a composer who always knew to remain innovating, even after 15 years of activity!
Various - 2+2=5 EP - 02-Oct-04 08:51 AM
Pseudo is back with a 4 various-artists-tracks EP. Pseudo welcome two european artists to be a part of the discography. The first one is Arne Weinberg from Frankfurt - Germany. He already released tracks on Handheld, Headspace, Technoir Audio, Keynote, Down Low, Starbaby... Those references are a perfect example of his music ; deep deep deep techno !! Sierra Sam aka Sammy Goosens is the other foreign artist that Pseudo invites into his various artists project. He usually signs on techno labels like Muller, Teknotika, Serie and Reload but hes here coming to us with an electro aim as the track he just released on Trapez ltd. Hes also been known as James Penningtons (Suburban Knight) production mate. The two other tracks are produced by the local pseudo artists : Richie Inkle & Ad.Lib. Ad.Lib received good feedbacks from artists like Damon Wild about his 1st release 1926 EP, heres a new Echoplex sounds-like-track, hypnotizing and strong ! Richie Inkle get so many feedbacks and playlists that we cant write them all here ; heres just a few : Josh Wink, Kenny Larkin, Titonton Duvanté, Jeff Mills. Are those name big enough to make you understand hes the artist to pay attention to ???
Matt Nee - Textured - 07-Apr-04 11:30 AM
Pseudo is a detroit-sound inspired label. The two main artists and label managers (Ad.Lib and Richie Inkle) musically grew up with those USA Northern-town grooves. It was logical thing to invite on their label american artists, directly from Chicago : Heres Matt Nee and Soultek rocking tracks !!! Matt Nee created Kompute Recordings, a collective label joining Matt Nee, Soultek, Hidden Variable, Frankie Vega and Billy Dalessandro forces. Soultek having produced several track for Kompute, Iron Box or Antenna, hes about to launch electriCity Music, a new techno label. On the A Side, youll find 2 perfect tracks that only american artists have the secret : facing metallic straight sounds to harmonical waves. On the B side, youll find a Soultek remix taking Matt Nees ingredients but cooking a more rhythm-worked track. Richie Inkle is giving us a european touch with hi-hats explosions he now uses us to with a progressive acid noise to blow up the dancefloor.
Ad.Lib - 1926 EP - 03-Jul-03 03:15 AM
For this second release, Pseudo Records introduce another new Northern France artist: Ad.Lib. DJ for a long time, he drew his inspiration from Detroit classics, other American artists like Damon Wild, Charles Noel aka Archetype but also from the European scene with James Ruskin, Surgeon or Inigo Kennedy. This “1926 EP” permits Ad.Lib to combine those influences to retranscribe them through different atmospheres, it sounds sometimes oppressive, with a huge work on rhythms. The Logo-side proposes you a first voluntarily destructured track, with light and airy chords. A second one with repetitive techno tones rather dedicated to dance-floors. As for it, the first Info-side delivers a third track with rich and warm percussions. Finally, a fourth one with a phat spirit, slightly old-skool, a steady reverb and kick, and aggressive synth sounds.
