Little Nobody
(IF? Records - IF060)
This one’s the final Little Nobody and IF? Records release for 2008 – cheers for all the support these past 12 months, and hope you enjoy the diverse ride, this time with mixes from my other alter egos, Funk Gadget and dck Drone. I’d love to wax crap about the release, but in actual fact I hate writing about my own stuff (pah!), so here’s what Angela Fox had to say in a review that just showed up in Electroniquette mag - dunno about the references to Dave Clarke and Richie Hawtin, but I can live with the Madonna/J-pop comparisons!
REVIEW
“Flashback to 1994, to a then still-underground, cutting edge rave scene. The year Dave Clarke unleashed his superbly iconic ‘Red 2’ record through Bush, just a few months after Richie Hawtin (as Plastikman) released one of the best acid records ever, the slowly bubbling, boiling ‘Krakpot’, through Plus 8.
1994 was the year Madonna asked David Letterman to smell her underwear and began dating 2Pac (before he died), the Cold War between Russia and China officially ended, Faye Valentine from ‘Cowboy Bebop’ is supposed to have been born, and Namie Amuro ruled Japanese J-pop music.
It was also the year Andrez Bergen began DJing in Melbourne, a city at that time on the cusp of greatness, with rising talents in the form of David Thrussell (Snog), Steve Law (Zen Paradox) and Voiteck, and regular visits from all of Detroit’s greats, from Claude Young to Stacey Pullen.
‘Metropolis How?’ is a flashback record, patient and eclectic, mixing acid and minimal techno and Madonna-style schlock and J-pop, with moments both Clarkian and Hawtin-like at their peak in that far-flung year almost 15 years back, tweaked with a more subversive, knowing 2008 mentality - which can never, ever, be such a bad tangent to take.”
