foundsound is stoked to present the debut ep by another member of the foundsound crew, ben parris -- along with a remix by magda. currently residing in baltimore, maryland, and co-organizer of the annual one.twice:festival and co-founder of sonar's treatment monthly (alongside 12k's richard chartier), ben parris has become well-known within our thriving music scene for his witty mind-set, outgoing personality and unstoppable party antics -- before now close friends with many international minimal artists you know and love. the "a" side ("loose impediments") is a nine-minute killer that will impel any minimal techno fiend to willingly and joyously shit his/her own pants while bouncing all over the dancefloor. meticulously arranged for a dj to mix with ease, the long-play track starts with a lengthy intro that drives grippingly through quirky percussive snippets, a bouncy bassline, the splattering and crunching of found sounds, boingy tones and gurgling voices -- which all finally carries you to a gritty synth pad that coincides tremendously with a druggy sunrise. the track is perfect for fans of vintage perlon and ricardo villalobos. the "b1" track ("glotsback") is deep, ultra-minimal and gently goofy. you groove and sway to a soft kick drum, tiny percussive snippets, murmuring voices, discombobulated found sounds, subtle tones and a quirky bassline that pokes at your forehead. for a dj, this track is ideal during those wacky, intimate afterhours where partygoers are in the midst of forgetting their own names. on "b2," magda reworks "glotsback" into a tracky, electro-ish jammy-jam. best known as richie hawtin's opening dj and one-third of run top restore, she continues in the m_nus style with an irresistible remix that blips, bleeps and bounces around a snappy snare drum, a video game-like bassline and an overall uplifting texture -- created pristinely with a dancefloor sensibility. coming shortly after... found-06: fusiphorm you am i 12" with a remix by someone else.
