Gossip - Music For Men - 2009
Maybe not. Still not even sure what the term means.
FYI: I have not listened to this record, but unless the Gossip are doing something completely different they belong in the Alternative board.
Aoki Takamasa - Rn3-09 from RN Rhythm-Variations [Raster Noton, 2009]
Quote:This is his first set of productions for the Raster Noton imprint... 'RN-Rhythm-Variations' explores body-enveloping digital rhythms reminding us of SND's autistic funk rewired with the hi-brow hip-hop swing of Frank Bretschneider. The succinctly titled 'RN2-09 PT1 + PT2' may be of most interest to any DJ's due to the 130bpm tempo setting and heavily swung robo-step rhythms, crafting irresistibly funky patterns from the sheerest digital processing, before 'RN3-09' settles down into a bass-shaped blue groove reminding us of Farben if he had a stronger taste for licks of caustic digital noise. On the flip 'RN4-09' concentrates on a heavily swung and Bretschneider-style hiphop rhythm with cyber-squalls of distortion, while 'RN5-09' sounds like a Tin Man track reprocessed by NHK. ...comes highly recommended to any fans of Autechre, Alva Noto or Pan Sonic.boomkat
