Hello Memi - Mambo Congon EP - 13-Nov-09 10:52 AM
"Minimal" began perhaps with a quest for new techniques, idiosyncratic sounds and styles, and so forth. It became over time successful and concurretly diluted, generic, copy-cat, and overly proliferative, like a tumor. As time goes on, this trend seems to be boring some artists (thank goodness).

Hello Memi commits to such an odd approach that it seems difficult even to classify it as "experimental": furthermore, it seems very intentional - little to no experimentation (successful accidents) in these tracks. Contributing to this joy of freshness is the impression that this artist has been partying for a long time - the structures expressed betray analogy to good DJ mixing and oldschool House music in a way that probably requires lots of dancing to internalize, but are expressed, in an understated fashion, with instrumentation previously reserved perhaps strictly for amateurish gestures - and coming across masterful and fully siiiiick.

Duo (8) - Mañana EP - 16-Oct-09 09:05 AM
If you want something playful but tribalistic, a union of quirky minimal swing and long-range house drive, a touch of melody as tasteful ornamentation for skeleton rhythms, each jewel of which set in its bezel so as to sparkle without appearing cumbersome, a touch of snakewind dub like cracking knuckles, a disco ball rotation of tiny tears crowning it all in light, becoming the consequence of shakers in the hands of the deity ... then this excellent EP might be something you'd enjoy.

Merzbow / Kapotte Muziek - Continuum - 01-Oct-09 10:02 AM
This really is one of my favorite records ever. The detail of texture that these two have combed up is extraordinary and seems almost absurd. Totally palpable swells, contortions, spacial narratives. The listener can sink fingers, teeth, bones into it as a three- (or four-) dimensional experience.

Highly recommended. Grab a copy if you can and don't forget the subwoofers ... turn it up, loud. Over a proper system you could even call it dark techno or something, lol. In fact the way the tracks are sequenced, it's totally possible to beatmatch the tracks and let them spin next to beats (if I remember correctly, side A is around 150 BPM and side B is around 165 or so).
