Style: minimal tech
Buenas!, nuevo y esperado unfound, tras unos meses sin publicar ninguna referencia, desde el propio sello comentaban que van a cambiar un poco el chip para mejorar la calidad de sus lanzamientos, por lo que publicarán música con menos frecuencia.
A mi me parece una idea estupenda y más tratándose de minimal techno, género que como tendencia últimamente está en un lugar muy peligroso, casi rozando el límite, por lo que todos los esfuerzos por ofrecer algo mejor, son bienvenidos. En esta referencia desde luego se aprecia esa intención, salió redonda
First it was buenos aires. Then it was marseille. This time, unfoundsound adds a third chapter to the “location series” with melbourne macropus ep – a compilation of artists hailing from melbourne, australia.
The idea transpired while sean o’neal (a.k.a. Someone else) was touring around australia in june/july 2007. Sean quickly discovered that australia – particularly melbourne – has an intelligent and thriving underground techno scene that is deeply on the rise. And because the melbourne scene is tight-knit and intimate, the city’s dope output of minimal goodness seems to be fairly unknown in other parts of the world.
But much of melbourne’s bomb-ass techno certainly deserves worldwide awareness. Thus, unfoundsound presents six tracks of druggy, groovy, head-numbing chooons courtesy of markojux, stuart mckeown, lance harrison, paul agius and craig mcwhinney. Yeah, y’all! Aussie folk in da house!
01.paul agius - three steamed dim sims
02.stuart mckeown - booze bus
03.markojux - monotreme
04.lance harrison - vegemite on toast
05.markojux and stuart mckeown - uluroo
06.craig mcwhinney - gold rush
booze bus was a real surprise. This is by far the best track and release unfound has put out in a little while. Glad to see them exploring the community in the land down under.
