looking back to the beatnik era on the south coast of england.
before package holidays and the rush to benidorm, beatniks ruled the seafronts and b&b’s of the southern beach resorts. beat poets and musicians pedalled alternative viewpoints & delivered fresh melodies to these waterfronts of escapism.
marking another step forward in his sonic evolution, appleblim inaugurates beatnik boulevard with a record that channels his roots in brooding bassweight club music into startling modern compositions. from his groundbreaking work on skull disco to various mutations of house, techno and electro explored via solo and collaborative releases for r&s, aus music and tempa , this 12” finds the berlin-based producer wielding fresh approaches to synthesis in a daring framework that finds physicality in music away from obvious rhythmic tropes.

marshall applewhite x the friend - the original purveyors of sludg come together for a collaborative excursion into a sound & aesthetic birthed out of detroit’s underground. dripping in sex, bordering on a perverse combo of ghetto tech, industrial, & acid.

appleblim’s third 12&#8243,,, for tempa touches on the sonic territories explored on his first 12&#8243,,, (the experimental and amorphus ‘wandered’ from tempa101) while expanding on those ideas. the first track ‘minus degree’ is appleblim at his most experimental. a beatless affair of sparse soundscapes and atmospheres. full of tension, and crucially no release, you are swept away by the waves of synths and sub bass. next track ‘move them’ is more traditional appleblim - 4x4 and dub techno chords build a sense of momentum over the space of 7 minutes. a traditionally leaning techno tune with a uk twist, appleblim’s use of space and tension will keep any raver entranced. final track ‘twist it down’ rounds out the ep with a subtle roller. broken drum patterns and bright synths help in stripping away some of the darker undertones prevalent in the previous tracks.

der mitgründer des labels atomnation, pascal terstappen, präsentiert mit -for- den bereits vierten longplayer seines projekts applescal - und erfindet dessen sound gleich mal neu. hörte man sich terstappens output aus den vergangenen jahren an, so lernte man seine sorgfältig gebauten tracks und remixes schätzen, in denen verspielte percussion-strukturen und außerweltliche melodien in kompositionen mit einfließen, die sich irgendwo zwischen sofa und dancefloor bewegen. applescals voriges album -dreaming in key- bekam großes presselob und wurde von djs wie gilles peterson, laurent garnier und daniel avery gespielt. -for- klingt ähnlich unbekümmert, dennoch wagt sich der niederländer hier in tiefere gefilde. tracks wie -like you do-, -matter- und -overseas- tragen dieselbe handschrift träumerischer synthesizers und prickelnder grooves, ansonsten klingt die soundpalette reifer und selbstbewusster.

after a slew of solo releases and a few comps, marshall applewhite has teamed up with fellow detroit native kero to put together a 4 track collaborative effort that explores both the new sludge phenomenon and the more classic detroit techno/electro sound. within 4 songs the two have covered a wide base of musical information. comprised of 2 parts modular gear, 2 parts homemade reaktor patchwork, and 1 part raw machine funk, sewer tracks gives a good representation of each players musical aptitude.

two adventurous artists in their own right, platter001 sees the first meeting of minds for appleblim and october, with two wildly different results. >ny fizzzzz< is a peak-time belter in the truest sense of the word, launching to life with a rigid 4/4 drum machine stomp. appleblims dub tendencies pepper octobers knack for the jack with spacious delays and reverbs before a muted piano hook gets filtered into the mix. melting away to let the chords shine through, the drop encapsulates the pinnacle of any late night jam, bright, bold and brassy, and irresistibly catchy. >fountains of paradise< trickles in on a bed of rippling fx, guided by haunting, melodic synth flourishes that only vintage gear can conjure up. the rhythm section ticks away faithfully as the distinctly psychedelic tones and drones shape the definitive 21st century dub track. blissful in its execution, >fountains…< will stand the test of time as a magically unique slice of delectable ambience.
