        coming soon on 12'': miskate - drillbit ep      
     
foundsound19 [foundsound-19]

miskate
drillbit ep

release date: december 2

foundsound’s own cofounder, a shy and beautiful american supergirl known as miskate, returns with a fresh, new twist on her buggy trademark sound. plus, argentina’s barem of foundsound and minus fame dishes out a minimal tech-house bomb that is an emotively mesmerizing remix.

now with more than 15 records on labels like karloff, einmaleins, microcosm, alphahouse, roman photo, wit and foundsound, drillbit ep might be miskate’s strongest release to date. miskate proves to have an amazing ability to take only a few significant samples -- whether it’s a field recording or her own voice -- along with simple groovy rhythms, and spawn irresistible works-of-art that djs can appreciate. ranging form loopy dancefloor mayhem to deeply emotional abstractionism, miskate’s drillbit ep is powerfully enticing.

on a1 – “drillbit” -- you get a loopy dancefloor gem shaped by tribally bongos, a bouncy bassline and a driving tech-house beat -- meanwhile all being relentlessly overshadowed by the melodic snarling and roaring of an electric drill. during the riveting breakdown, the intense wailing of the drill pleasurably cuts through your body while forcing your hands happily into the air.

on a2 – “what you want” -- she goes deep and groovy with her own oddly pitched vocals, a captivating bassline and pleasantly haunting atmospherics -- moving with a sort of villalobos-like structure along with profound emotions captured in the melodies of her voice, both melancholy and blissful at the same time.

on b1 – “what you want (barem remix)” -- the minus superkid delivers a tech-house long-play fueled by bongo drums, miskate’s stirring vocals and a climactic breakdown that’ll make audiences rejoice on the dancefloor.

so c’mon boys and girls! take yourself and your audience on a tripped-out joyride through the wondrous worlds of miskate and barem! yay!

ben parris
from rave to the grave

out now!

foundsound returns with another brain-blurring gem courtesy of baltimore’s ben parris, shrewdly titled from rave to the grave – featuring remixes by matmos (real names drew daniel and martin schmidt). and for those of you oddly unfamiliar with matmos, shame on you! maybe you know the duo for playing alongside björk, or for their countless albums on matador and other labels. or maybe you know drew daniel as the soft pink truth on herbert’s soundslike label. their list of accomplishments goes on and on.

on from rave to the grave, you get four tracks on vinyl, plus a fifth digital bonus remix. and this time around, ben parris delves deeper into his own trademark off-kilter sequencing and subtle dexterity – fed by quirky samples, trip-trailing delays, wavering textures, organic drums, subtle climaxes, and a keen focus on abstract structure with a calculated groove that djs can appreciate. furthermore, reviving an old tradition from the '80s, the tracks “wellsmellingyesterday” and “schmurtisstrasse” are  offered in two different versions each, the ‘12” edits’ on the vinyl, and the longer digital versions that will better fit the needs of today's digital dj.

> on a1 – “wellsmellingyesterday” – you get super-druggy, bubbly, bouncy minimal house that gurgles and wobbles.

> on a2 – “schmurtisstrasse” – you take a funky-ass safari ride through a twisted, jungle-like house jam that’ll make you bust out dance moves that you never knew you had before.

> on b1 – “yo no ronco” – you have a deep, stompy, slightly tribal, pleasantly haunting house number driven by conga drums, airy samples and dusty organ stabs.

> on b2 – “yo no ronco (matmos’ bower of bliss mix)” – clunk your way through a stripped-down minimal house groove and witty sound-play reminiscent of herbert.

> as for the digital bonus track – “yo no ronco (matmos’ mutable mix)” – you get idm-ish broken beats, chaotic percussion mayhem, and brilliantly funny disfigurations of the original samples.

unfields goes to the gym

out now!

who knew the gym could be so much fun? from grunts to counting reps, to squeaky gym equipment, punching bags with chain rustling, and to the almost naturally sounding digital reverb of the racquetball court, the gym is quite the playground for field recording junkies!

the gym members didn't seem to mind that they were being used like specimens for soundbites either. listen to them interact with me. some of them even seemed to be star-struck with the idea that they would be "on the internet."

hopefully these sounds will inspire you to get off your butt and away from youtube for a minute to sweat a little and get healthy while enjoying the beautiful sounds around you in real life. just make sure you take a shower afterwards and wear your flip-flops in the gym locker room. don't blame me if you get fungus on your feet!

n'joy, all you sound nerds!
