between jazz virtuosity and motor city house music - a showcase of malik alston’s roots in jazz, gospel, soul and dance music.

following the late night swing of javonntte’s hm002, hardmatter uncovers another detroit talent for their third offering: malik alston. in his first vinyl release in several years, the rebirth ep explores a spiritual jazz soundscape with all of the verve of the city’s trusted sound. beside the soulful ballad of “love changes” featuring evan on guitar, the record’s lead song, “i am”, focuses on malik’s signature instrumentation and live improvisation. the track is a seven minute collaboration between craig huckaby, howard wazeerud-din ii and hardmatterís own zapata, who complement malik’s gospel-inspired vocals, the first time he has sung on a track in four years.

john peel nannte ihn den baron des techno, der kompromisslose, anarchische punkstyle seiner techno und electro-produktionen und -mixsets ist berüchtigt: dave clarke schnappt sich 17 upfront-tunes, oft noch unbekannte, neue releases, und kreiert ein überwältigendes set aus gothic-darkem, bassgetriebenem techno und real electro, dass dem hörer die knie schlottern. um dann zum ende hin dunkles hinterland zu betreten, eine grauzone, in der techno und electro auf electronica treffen, wenn clatterbox (mit exklusivem track!), w1b0 und baz reznik einen makabren todestanz mit sich immer stärker verlangsamenden beats und atmosphärischer emotion aufführen.
