by Juno Plus on 09.10.2012 at 17:04pm
For a producer who has wisely spent the past year developing his sound away from the kind of ephemeral vocal hits like the Brandy bootleg “Getting Me Down” and the Moodymann sampling “What You Do With What You Have”, towards the kind of heads down, no-nonsense techno of his Clone and Black Sun releases, it seems to go against everything he’s been moving towards by revealing a track like “Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage?” on his Boiler Room appearance earlier this year. Lifting a sample from The Fugees’ “How Many Mics”, Blawan constructs a cartoonish nightmare of a track with its tongue firmly in-cheek, combining horror movie screams and strings, relentless 4/4, and rippling industrial stabs that seem suspended in some kind of gelatinous soup. It’s obvious from the public reaction to this track that this is what the majority of Blawan’s fans want, but is it really what’s best for him?

Joy Orbison – Ellipsis review
by Juno Plus on 23.07.2012 at 17:06pmBack in 2009 Simon Reynolds derided Joy Orbison’s 2009 breakthrough track “Hyph Mngo” as “moist n’ milky minimalism”, implying that he’d rather be “aving it apeshit” to 16-Bit’s “Chainsaw Calligraphy” than dancing to Orbison’s more polite hybrid of dubstep and garage. If the collision of Reynolds’ beloved hardcore continuum and Orbison’s lighter influences was pronounced in “Hyph Mngo”, it practically slaps you in the face on “Ellipsis”. Originally appearing at the beginning of 2011 via the now standard YouTube rip, the track has become another totemic production which a new wave of young producers are attempting to clone with results that yield ever diminishing returns.

Madteo – Bugler Gold Pt.1 review
by Juno Plus on 02.02.2012 at 15:53pmMany may have been surprised to hear that the first release on Joy Orbison and Will Bankhead’s new Hinge Finger imprint was going to be from Workshop associate Madteo, given Orbison’s recent forays into more abrasive territory with Boddika. However Orbison and Bankhead have had a longstanding admiration for the German imprint, with Kassem Mosse being chosen in 2010 to remix Braiden for Orbison’s Doldrums imprint, and a cassette mix from Mosse being released through Bankhead’s Trilogy Tapes imprint.
