mlnv 01 - Various Microcosm

minlove · Post by **minlove** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 4:54 pm

New York based imprint Microcosm Music is re-opening the minlove netlabel with a quirky, subtle and detailed 3 tracker by Ezekiel Honig, Socks and Sandals and Miskate - combining the subtleties of minimal electronics with abstract dancefloor sympathies. Melting together three concise and unique musical statements, the various artist ep is reflecting the highly diverse output of microcosm - ranging from constantly evolving variations of minimal techno, to textural ambience, and electro-acoustic compositions.

„Herky Jerky“ by label head Ezekiel Honig melts a strong straight-forward bassline with meticulously constructed percussive structures and dreamy piano drones - creating a romantic patchwork of dry bass drums, crisp sampling and reverberated instrumental textures full of melancholic deepness. Socks and Sandals’ edit of „Lover“ (Macrofun Vol.2) strips the original down to its bare bones before turning the straight microfunk-cut into an enraptured microcosm of granulated and delayed percussion effects.
Closing track „Ditty Dumdum“ by Kate Iwanowicz, aka Miskate, enchants with a charming blend of funky grooves, melodic guitar samples and this unmistakeable way of sampling and arranging her own voice that comes to one’s mind when thinking of her last releases on foundsound and microcosm.

Tracklist
01 Ezekiel Honig "Herky Jerky"
02 Socks and Sandals "Lover (OG Edit)"
03 Miskate "Ditty Dumdum"

Indeed these songs are good.

Honig was sitting on that 'Herky Jerky' bit for a while, now the rest of us are allowed to hear it. Isnt he generous folks?

The Miskate tune is aural gold, or diamonds depending upon how you like things to be fancy.

And of course another version of Lover is always welcome.

I wish these were on vinyl.

Hooray.
