Berkane Sol is Geiom's label and i've gotta hand it to Kamal Joory, for it is he who records under this moniker much of the time, you're a genius mate! On this latest white vinyl platter he introduces a guest, Hizatron, whose 'Von Glooperstein' blends wobbly, hypnotic tech house shapes with some proper spannered low end wiggling - this is the funky experimental end of club music which I find most exhilarating. Geiom's 'Bubbles' reminds me in spirit of some of the older genre busting Planet Mu gear, stuttering techy electro/breaks infused with "wonky's" snakier moods and "IDMs" sharp witted production plus an alarming sense of the random - truly forward thinking underground club music complete with a cracking, brooding bassline & tons of crazy shit happening. A wild platter. Business Lady reckons it sounds well "ketty" whatever that means ;0) We have the ltd white vinyl baby in....*Special white vinyl pressing for the first 500 copies only* Part man/part machine Hizatron takes Berkane Sol in a new acidic
direction with the outstanding tune that is Von Glooperstein. Atmospheric, refined, techy, funky and deranged are all accurate
descriptions
of this ever evolving masterclass in gloop. Beautiful digi bells, crisp
clicks and clacks and a monster lead line all combine
to work even the most demanding dancefloor. This tune will mix with UK Funky just as well as it does with techno and house.
It features on the recent Geiom FACT magazine mix. http://www.sendspace.com/file/yydm34
In a manic attempt to fuse half step, electro booty bass, niche and primates into one coherent whole, Geiom came up with the
delicious mongrel known as Bubbles. Wonky synths collide with tuff drum patterns in a tense, restless fashion which peaks with a
kind
of homage to the Midlands favourite underground genre, Bassline house.
There’s a kind of psychedelic terror at the heart of this
tune but its way too playful to ever become truly menacing….Both these tunes demonstrate the high standard of musical creativity
that
is coming out of Nottingham right now, but give no indication of an
easy to identify style. Which is just how we like it! All the latest
Berkane Sol developments will be showcased at our forthcoming head to head with the Blunted Robots – Fabric/October 9th.
