After the successful and critically acclaimed release of Kammerflimmer Kollektief's "Absencen" album in spring this year, Staubgold now offers the first in a series of two remix 12"es featuring four beautiful and kicking mixes, done by JAN JELINEK, AOKI TAKAMASA, NïZE and DAVID LAST. David Last: After 10 years work in quirky electronic music, video projections, illustration and hand made books, David Last's first solo records were released by New York label The Agriculture. One year and much buzz later, David is supporting his current Agriculture CD The Push Pull, and preparing to release tracks with Francois K's Wave Music label and the Philadelphia minimal tech label Unfoundsound. His approach to music is organic, an expression of his interest in many musical forms. An offbeat sense of humor pervades his tracks, with strange little voices, horn blasts, and brain damaged orchestral sounds popping out at the listener from all sides. His music is primarily rhythm-driven, harkening back to his interest in early reggae music, hip hop, latin music, and straightahead jazz. Aoki Takamasa: Born 1976 in Osaka. Living in Paris, France presently. Since the first album, Silicom, released by Progressive Form in 2000, he has been looking at his own personal methodology while creating activities of sounds mainly based on computer/software. He is an energetic artist who expands the limits of the original musical expression vigorously. Until now Aoki has released four albums on Progressive Form label and one on Cirque. A collaboration album with Tujiko Noriko has just come out on the prolific Fat Cat label. Nôze: Nôze is an under construction bomb! A French band which released an ep on Karat feat. a remix by Jamie Lidell as well as an ep and a full-length album, Craft Sounds & Voices, on their own Circus Company label. They are four complementary musicians who also carry out parallel projects. They dig their roots from jazz and electro and reinvent the style by decorating it with an unslung and obsessing electronic key. Their first album is a beautiful and fresh example of their unique 'acoustic house' style. http://www.circusprod.com Jan Jelinek: Central Berlin. Vinyl, wherever you look. With microscopic precision Jan Jelinek scours his never-ending archive for those fleeting moments, those in-between noises and beat fragments that often get lost between hookline and rhythm. With the sampler as his dissection tool he breaks down these micro fragments into intricate elements Ð production becomes the re-interpretation, re-formatting and blurring of original material. Since 1998 Jelinek has taken his work to the public: split into the re-evaluation of phrases in soul music (as Farben), a reduced approach to the dance-floor (Gramm) or, under his third pseudonym which strictly speaking isnÕt one (Jan Jelinek), the exploration of his own production concepts, he has so far released six Farben eps on Frankfurt-based label Klang Elektronik (recently compiled on the album 'Textstar'), followed by a Gramm album on Move D's Source Records and, as Jan Jelinek, with 'loop-finding-jazz-records' (~scape) the shifting of linear second loops, condensing Jazz samples into arrangements with an unrivalled depth of field.
