200 copies only! comprising of a combination of a local dj legend harris & joss (the co label owner of artreform), up and coming talent d.lamar. three original tracks starting with with the brooding groovy get no sleep, an incense workout that locks you in to its magical groove. welcome is remixed by noah pred who toughens things up, spicing up the beats and using the hypnotic synths and adding effects and depth.

it has been four long years since noahs last album, blind alignments, was released here on thoughtless, and much has happened since: extensive tour dates, numerous singles and collaborations, a lingering break-up, a move across the atlantic, 80 releases here on preds thoughtless imprint, tests of new music technology, and the sudden death of his father, all this and more transpired as his latest full-length effort, third culture, took shape. traversing these highs and lows, the result breaks new ground for pred, building on the dub-inflected techno and house that fills his discography, yet reaching far beyond anything we have heard from him before.

incl huge brendon moeller resketch. majestic yet playful, monotasking is a 9-minute love letter to the euphoric lost dance floors of the mid-90s written in the code of today. merging hypnotic polyrhythms with quirky swung drums, its the harmonically modulated chords that carry the theme, transcending their elusively simple rhythm with an evocative narrative structure that seamlessly guides the flow of the piece before evaporating into the translucent pads of the outro. pulling no punches, monotasking is perhaps preds most fearless work to date - with no better home than here on thoughtless.

next amazing thoughtless moover by stare5 aka bryan zentz with a huge remix of noah pred. known for his distinctive productions over the years as barada, cyan and under his own name on seminal techno labels such as primate, tronic, jericho, plus 8 and cmyk, bryan zentz reprises his stare5 role for thoughtless with three tracks of dub-fueled deepness. pushing ever outward on tides of subsonic bass, >the sprawl< emerges from cover of night, a vast expanse of sleepless chords illuminating the darkness as ripples of reverberant effects reach toward the stars. label boss noah pred adds another layer to the low end to imbue his remix with a swinging pulse, then intensifies the hypnosis with a sinuous synth that snakes its way through a winding labyrinth built from the materials of the original. >frozen fog< opens with cold yet insistent stabs that keep pace atop a bouncing dub bass line, responsive chords building pressure amidst gradually rising vapors. with equal nods to detroit and berlin, bryan zentz successfully presents his own unique vision of a classic form with >the sprawl< - solidifying his reputation as a master of the style in the process.

with new artist noah pred, the highgrade family adds another exciting voice to the labels musical cosmos. although the canadian producer, dj and founder of his own label thoughtless is already internationally saavy, he recently decided to move to the worlds hub of electronic music and pitch his tent in berlin. included in his luggage: his very own creative perspective, a great sense for aesthetics and an unerring feeling for music, learnt in part, from his many years as a bassist. noahs first ep for berlin label, highgrade records sets an exciting precedent. the track >motive unknown< trickles organically into the aural canals, before the drips become digital drops and the track comes crashing from the speakers in a steady flow. the entire piece is simultaeneously suspended and captivating. no wonder then, that the remixes from deepchild and phonokemi manage to bring out further different facets of a already multifaceted track. while deepchild brings a dub element, phonokemi move the tune into darker musical territory. its brought back with noah preds folding cranes, which follows the thread through a musical universe infused with pounding and grinding percussion.

toronto based noah pred brings back the funk with his clever brand of booty shakin swung out techno house. noahs style has gone through many stages of evolution of the years having recorded for a ton of different labels over the years from consigned, intrinsic, morris audio to his own imprint called thoughtless. this collection of tracks is by far is grooviest work to date definitely fitting bulls eye into the sound palette of cynosure recordings. lesser lights, remember the embers and all day long were all meant to fit together all having the same elements of what makes a great tech house ep. funky swinging drums, hip flexin bass and a blinding lead hook. noah achieves this with cunning style and brings the minimal funk back where it belongs …
