Once again, TuningSpork Records ventures away from its trademark funky
house in exchange for something a little more unexpected. Last summer,
the label issued "Free Your Mind" (TSEXTRA), a Baleraric groove crafted by
Jay Haze and Ricardo Villalobos. Now comes another non-sequitur:
"Comptine d'un autre été: l'après-midi” (TSULTRA), Mr. Tiersen’s piano
composition reconstructed for the dancefloor by Jay.
French composer Yann Tiersen has a minimalist approach that many
electronic producers could learn from. His piece (the title of which roughly
means “Nursery rhyme of another summer: the afternoon”) provides the
basis for this melancholy track. DJs addicted to hyperbolic effects plugins
might hesitate to play this – but those who appreciate subtlety will be
rewarded here. Tiersen’s original composition is tastefully manipulated into
a track that makes sense in a club context, yet sets itself apart from the
usual techno/house fare, providing a rare introspective moment on the
dancefloor.
And it might be worth mentioning: if you play this track and the floor
doesn’t fill up with ladies, then it probably means you’re DJing at a gay
club. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!)
