Tycho - Montana by Tycho





Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International release date: MARCH 18, 2014 formats: CD/LP/DIGITAL artwork by: ISO50 For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of Awake – his second LP for Ghostly International – the solo project has evolved into a three-piece band. Relating closer to post-rock than ambient soundscapes, the record is situated in the present, sounding more like Hansen than drawing from his influences. “This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record.” Following 2011’s Dive LP, the San Francisco-based designer toured extensively, and with a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) rejoined Scott on the road for this tour, but it was the particular addition of Rory O’Connor’s live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision. “After the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album,” Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho’s creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond its current sound. In a cabin near Tahoe last winter, Zac and Scott began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn’t until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with Rory that it all fell into place. “It crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record,” says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with more organic instruments in the fold. Songs like “Montana” and “Awake” are a departure from Tycho’s previous material – unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record – while “See” and “Dye” echo ideas from previous works, bridging a middle ground between the old and new. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might previously layer under synthesizers and exhume them with distinct bass and guitar patterns. Also known for his design work as ISO50, Hansen’s visual and sonic efforts have dovetailed throughout the course of his career. “This is the first time in my life I've dropped everything to focus on one artistic pursuit,” notes Hansen. Previous Tycho releases came to fruition when an amalgam of songs were nearing completion, but Awake is where music becomes the focus and true expression becomes the result.

Judy Judy Judy Chrissy Murderbot is already known as one of Chicago’s finest purveyors of juke and footwork, the man behind the Dead Homies and Sleazetone labels, and with releases on Planet Mu, Halocyan & more. And he crops up here on Hypercolour under his Chris E Pants moniker, unveiling a superbly varied EP. Lead track ‘Can’t Shake Loose’ takes no prisoners, a belting 909 kick and a disturbed acid line evokes shades of old school pioneers like D.H.S. and Green Velvet, touched by the hand of rave! On ‘Tare’, Chris E Pants getting all melodic on us and all the better for it, a cool little heads down number… Title track ‘Fallout’ is a sweeter affair, flecks of female vox over a sturdy house beat are held up with the mother of all b-lines and gnarly synth work, and on ‘Call Me You’, Chris takes it one deeper for a flute laden, tight jacker, slightly reminiscent of that classic Plez track (Can’t Stop). Judy Judy Judy follows the 4/4 path on this EP, all bleepy and moody vibes, and a killer one to finish off a well rounded and expertly executed Extended Player for Hypercolour.

With a release previously on Indigo's, Mindset Records sub label 'Electro Magnetic Fields' this young novice certainly shows huge potential on this EP. Title track ‘Chestnut Ave’ eases in gently, lazy pianos and stabs sit over the wooden thump of the drum track, a sweet little early hours cut here. ‘Tendency’ builds with its atmospherics, the broken beat and vox cranking in, evoking shades of MJ Cole but certainly on its own path, all the while building up a lush collage of rising synths and floating keys. Attention to atmospheric detail is certainly one of Edmondson’s strong points, and on ‘U Belong’, the jerky rhythms and cut ups are soaked in reverb, without compromise to the solid shuffling beats. Final track ‘Don’t Stop’ is a right gurt lush doseage of laid back funk, one of those tracks that could quite easily go on forever and ever and you’d never tire of it’s slick groove.

Edmondson - Chestnut Ave (HYPEDIGI037) (clip) by Hypercolour





Edmondson – Chestnut Ave EP HYPEDIGI037 1. Chestnut Ave 2. Tendency 3. U Belong 4. Don’t Stop Just in time for Crimbo, Hypercolour drops a four tracker from Newcastle born Edmondson. With a release previously on Indigo's, Mindset Records sub label 'Electro Magnetic Fields' this young novice certainly shows huge potential on this EP. Title track ‘Chestnut Ave’ eases in gently, lazy pianos and stabs sit over the wooden thump of the drum track, a sweet little early hours cut here. ‘Tendency’ builds with its atmospherics, the broken beat and vox cranking in, evoking shades of MJ Cole but certainly on its own path, all the while building up a lush collage of rising synths and floating keys. Attention to atmospheric detail is certainly one of Edmondson’s strong points, and on ‘U Belong’, the jerky rhythms and cut ups are soaked in reverb, without compromise to the solid shuffling beats. Final track ‘Don’t Stop’ is a right gurt lush doseage of laid back funk, one of those tracks that could quite easily go on forever and ever and you’d never tire of it’s slick groove.

Volta Cab - Fantazia (HYPEDIGI038) (clip) by Hypercolour





Volta Cab – "We Are The New Generation" EP HYPEDIGI038 1. Apache Goes Wild 2. Back To The Top 3. Fantazia Ukrainian producer Konstantyn Isaev AKA Volta Cab steps up to the Hypercolour mantle with a killer EP of breakbeats inna classic style. Previous releases on Illusion Recordings, Undertones, ISM and Morris Audio have really shone through, so it’s a pleasure to have him on board the good ship Hypercolour…. ‘Apache Goes Wild’ opens up the triple pack, a stuttering broken beat and discordant pads sounds like it’s about to break out into some kind of classic 90s drum & bass jam, but reigns it in for a fabulous swinging breakbeat cut, chopping and changing in a highly inventive way, very funky. ‘Back To The Top’ is another slab of prime time breakbeat, all heavy hitting piano stabs and clipped female vox, pumpin’ & jumpin’! Closing the EP is ‘Fantazia’, a real heady and understated track, the female vox really warming up the rolling 4/4 breaks and cold stabs.
