Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Thavius Beck

thavius has spent quite some time crafting the most beautiful ugly, his official follow up to dialogue and debut release on plug research records. originally made with no definite purpose in mind, the man who cites jean luc pontys electronic jazz fusion as inspiration notes that this is the record that so far best encapsulates the thavius beck sound. a true original who has survived the ebb and flow of trends and hype, thavius is a veteran in his realm.
comes as white coloured double 12 inch vinyl plus code for free mp3 download of this album.

the third volume in the road kill compilation series from hit & run. a curated selection of exclusive beats featuring beats from some of the most notable names in electronic, hip hop and experimental music. pressed on a slab of red vinyl with black haze - limited to just 300 copies!

the main track on the 12inch version is touchtone, which features the rapping talents of paperboy and taz. jimmy edgar strips out the originals psych rock drones and takes it into slowjam territory. kypski speeds things up and neptunes it all to the max. thavius beck slathers the drums in reverb and manages to double up tempos, throw in arcade symphonies and make a miniature epic. also included is far weathered friends which is the death sets take on the daedelus original - a cover version which kicks out the jams whilst channelling the pixies. a short, ecstatic blast, bizarrely it emphasises the melodic strength of the original. not content with one complete rework, the death set lso come up with an electro mix of the original.
