ryan parks is a mixed media artist, music producer/performer, and ceo/founder of critically robust cassette tape label, harsh riddims. he was born in college park, ga and grew up skating all around atlanta, soaking up the dense kaleidoscopic cultural ooze found both in and outside the perimeter of atlanta. aside from his visual practice which usually takes shape as mixed media (jacob lawrence/matisse inspired in my opinion!) collage, he has been releasing music as fit of body for seven years. fit of body crafts soulful house ballads that draw on freestyle, bell hooks, old school detroit techno, jazz, and southern rap passed through a no wave paradigm. fit of body has previously released work on cgi, dka, ransom note, and his own label, harsh riddims. “black box no cops” is fit of body’s debut 2mr release, named for atlanta hallowed skate grounds, black box. the vinyl release includes a download code.

having honed his sound on a string of feted self-released cassettes released on his own harsh riddims label - which has also put out everything from bizarro hip hop to gleaming synth pop - and dropped a hyped 12” released on the cgi imprint, the healthcare ep finds fit of body delivering his most accomplished work to date. five woozy original tracks jammed out on second hand drum machines, bass guitar, cheap mics and creaking synths, this is techno as it was first imagined, raw machine soul made for strange times and unknown futures.

having already issued a few cassettes via his own harsh riddims label as well as cgi’s sister label dka records, ryan parks brings his fit of body project to cgi for his debut 12inch, release. here we are treated with two previously unreleased original cuts as well as galcher lustwerk and twins reworks of a pair of older tunes. fit of body’s sound is unique among the current crop of bedroom dance producers in that it can ignite a dancefloor while still feeling deeply personal. this mood is enhanced by the way parks colours his tracks with his own voice. his approach to adding live instrumentation to the arrangements lends a handmade delicacy otherwise lacking in so much hyper-quantized machine music. these are tracks that will feel at home in the dj booth, your living room and your bedroom.

das sich selbst und jeden floor antreibende aufeinanderhetzen von genres wie disco, funk, punk- und indierock ist nur eine von ihren disziplinen. ok, man darf es paradedisziplin nennen, immerhin ist das bandgefźge aus tomas barfod, dem drummer mit dj/producer-expertise, sŠnger/bassist tomas hoffding, der als bon homme eher in den subtileren gefilden des dance-pop zuhause ist und jeppe kjellberg, der die vergangenheit als jazz-gitarrist bereits mit seinem zappa-schnurri highlighted, ein genre-źbergreifender thinktank. andererseits gibt es einen wesentlichen grund, warum whomadewho, anders als geistesverwandte acts wie the rapture, lcd soundsystem oder radio 4, die so genannten nullerjahre źberlebt haben. es ist ihre unbedingte neugier gegenźber kontemporŠren clubsounds und ihr ansatz, einem eigenen song oft auch die funktionalitŠt des clubtracks einzuarbeiten.
