Boozing & Losing
Jake Fairley // Dumb Unit
Format
// 12"
Over the last 2 years Jeremy has quietly infiltrated the ranks of the minimal and techno scenes by creating a rough, edgy and immediately recognizable sound. This Modern, aggressive music with a keen sense of energy for the dance-floor has been featured on such labels as WMF and TRAPEZ. Now he returns home to Dumb-Unit. SIDE A: DEFT BAGGAGE A haunting and driving track that begins as a dark and brittle mash up. Pitched up digital noise scratches away at the deft and tricky bass line. Then, in typical Canadian style the tracks opens up, and space becomes as important as sound. Quickly we enter into a deep and hypnotic foray into the new confident, techno sound. Classic techno and minimal structures are adhered to, but the finished product is a polished modern track with Jeremy's tight drums and syncopated buzzes playing ping pong with the slow worbling pads. SIDE B: SLUMBERJACK Already creating havoc on the circuit; SlumberJack is just that: The monsters under the bed, the man behind the door. Pacing, patient and indifferent Slumberjack's apathy quickly transforms into a cold and calculated track. Each pad creeping up to the next, each drum and hi-hat snapping the other into place. Everything slowly creating the groove, no outrageous edits, no filtered vocals just a tight weave of dry clicking techno, bass heavy tech-house and rocking sawwave minimal.
