Gaiser | ‘Some Slip’
MINUS112 - “Some Slip” by Gaiser from Minus / Plus 8 on Vimeo.
The latest release from Gaiser looks to be one hell of a banger, if the previews are anything to go on. Both he and Richie Hawtin have been giving the A-side, “Some Slip” quite a lot of play lately, and it’s hard not to hear why. Below is a recording of Richie playing it at Germany’s edition of the Time Warp festival earlier this year (nevermind the nonsensical still, there), where he summarily wipes the floor with this one.
Physical copies of Some Slip are (supposedly) out now, with digital copies available August 10.
Edit: Now you can hear an official version of the whole A-side!
It’s rare to find a 12” that drums up a whole mess of buzz—or at least one deserving of it—but this new release from Mathew Jonson is proving to be one hell of an exception. Titled Learning to Fly, and out on Minus (his first for them in seven years), the A-side of this record alone is comprised of nearly twelve minutes of your life you’re going to want to give away again and again. The B-side is an equally beautiful dub version which isn’t what it seems; here the man runs circles around your typical analog track with incredible ease, and somehow manages to come up with something entirely new in the process. This is some essential elemental techno you want for your crate. Digital copies are available from Beatport or directly from Minus and physical copies are coming—check your IRL record stores!
P.S. That title track is a KILLER.
P.P.S. However, do be warned this album comes with quite a lot of “buyer beware”. Holy dissonant stock sounds, Batman!
The above is the official video for “Sweet” from the new Marc Houle album that came out earlier this week, Drift, on Minus. You can buy a digital copy directly from the label or over at Bleep, or you can preview the whole album, with videos, over at Mark Houle’s Official Youtube Channel.
