If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!Revys music is strange. There really is no better way to put it. Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest USA before moving to Tokyo, the influence and contrast of nature and technology are made clear in his mesmerizing pieces. His sound is one that is complicated, rapidly revolving between themes which are at times serious, beautiful, strong and others almost comical and ridiculous. Each track encompasses such an emotional gamut that they themselves seem to be intelligent entities.
If Revy's creations are living creatures, then "Brainburn" is a monster. It's from right inside the belly of the beast. Atop a basic foundation of driving dance music elements is a myriad of texture and motion, both rhythmic and random. It's nine minutes of devouring insanity.
On the outside of the flip, Glasgow's Harvey McKay (Soma, Perc Trax, Klientele) tames this predator with a remix aimed directly at the dance floor. He's picked the original down to its bones and molded a new skin for it from his unique tech-house aesthetic.
Heading inwards to close the 12" is a version from the almighty Jerry Abstract (Shitkatapult, Detroit Underground, Semisexual). Jerry is the producer's producer, remaining low key but known of in many circles, under many guises, around the world since the 90s. In his version of "Brainburn", the Detroit-to-Seattle transplant kicks off with an absolutely massive build before mutilating the original into a cold, twisted mangle, taking an already strange piece further into the land of experimentation.
