Review: The next signing of Bilbao based Forbidden Colours are modular nerds Kino Internacional and Borja Pineiro from Reykjavik606, who always challenge the fine line between music making and storytelling. On "Everything Happens For A Reason" the duo deliver a sublime serving of electronica which is best described as live drum 'n' bass, really. Smooth Rhodes melodies and dreamy orchestral pads engulf some tight live drumming on this five minute epic. The blissed out ambience of "Lake Nakaumi" follows, where this glacial and mysterious soundscape calls to mind the icy and chilling suspense of works on Canada's Silent Season imprint. Finally the Bilbao based label call in Basque techno leader Kastil for a remix - he serves up seven minutes of straight up hypnotic techno. This follows up great releases on the label from the likes of Andres Aguirre, Eduardo de la Calle and Jun Kimata.
Review: It is over to Sapporo's Jun Kimata aka BirdMan for the Forbidden Colours imprint out of Bilbao (Spain), who've previously delivered great work by the likes of label boss Aitor Etxebarria aka EL_TXEF_A, Eduardo de la Calle and Andres Aguirre. The Shape Of My Voice EP starts off with the driving and tunneling deep electro workout "Two Billion Light-Years Of Silence" that's dripping in futurist aesthetic, while "Track 2" is a more dystopian affair on this dark ambient/drone piece. Then we have "Train Music" which effectively bridges the gap between hypnotic techno and deep house (the label's preferred aesthetic of late) and rather inventively indeed. The "Spicy Paracousia remix" by the aforementioned Aguirre takes the track on wonderfully spaced out deep house journey over its glorious seven minutes. Nice one!
