Download EP here: http://www.beatport.com/release/undercover/856031 Release date: 27/01/2012 For his new EP, ‘Undercover', Items & Things co-founder Marc Houle jumps in his time machine and heads back in time. Destination Chicago, 1987, and a face to face with Master C&J exploring the mysterious power of plunging basslines and moody synths. On remix duties Berlin based Miro Pajic sneaks in charting a decidedly bleepier course while Bruno Pronsato delivers his signature 'romantic techno' sound. There’s no way back and Marc launches the fist bars of ‘Undercover’ with just a bouncy kick and a vintage ‘house’ bassline. With reverb in full effect the drums and hi-hats find their own space and time. Then, if the synths that roll in aren’t mysterious enough for you, the pillow talk vocals will be. The end of each line, spoken with a certain sense of agitation, is covered by chords that ride, all night long. The revelation is for your imagination but you might not want to be ‘Under Covers’ with this guy. Next up, Miro takes the dirty sheets and chucks them in the washing machine for a good old fashioned rinse and spin. This mix creeps along all bubbles, pops, tick tocks and rim shots. Snare rolls glide in and out of time only to snap back for a sub-bass drop or a little heavy breathing. What more can you ask for? Bruno’s ‘Electric Blanket Dub’ warms things up quite nicely with its intricate, heady take on the original. Bringing a subtle balance to the three mixes with vaguely organic tones, natural rhythms and spontaneous drum fills, Mr. Pronsato comes through in full on a cold Berlin night. The final track, ‘Triple E’, is an underground goodie brandishing a relentless kick and enough swing to make Chancellor Merkel do the Jitterbug. Combine sharp snares, a muted bass warble and nonsensical vocal snips panning from side to side and you have the perfect late night jack track or pump priming party starter. True to the ‘no rules’ vision laid out by Marc, Magda and Troy, this new edition of ‘Items & Things’ is weird and wonderful with more bounce to the ounce. Tracklist: A1: Undercover A2: Triple E B1: Undercover (Miro Pajic Remix) B2: Undercover (Bruno’s Electric Blanket Dub) Press contact: [email protected] Connect with Marc Houle: www.marchoule.net/ www.facebook.com/marchoule.official www.mixcloud.com/marchoule www.youtube.com/user/MarcRHoule www.twitter.com/MarcRHoule www.residentadvisor.net/dj/marchoule www.dj.beatport.com/marchoule www.juno.co.uk/artists/Marc+Houle/ www.discogs.com/artist/Marc+Houle www.itemsandthings.com

Marc Houle - Undercover [Items & Things]

XOXO The Mag Nisan 2012 sayısında yayımlanmıştır.

2000'lerin başlarındaki minimal furyasını yakalayanlar, Kanada elektronik müzik sahnesini izleyenler ve M_nus sound'una aşina olanların çok yakından tanıdığı bir isim Marc Houle. Richie Hawtin'in kabilesinden kendisi, 90'ların sonunda Detroit’deki klüplerde çalmaya başlayarak bugünlere geldi. Çoğu M_nus'çu gibi Houle'un da tercihi ilkel synth'lerden, yavan ritmlerden, bolca tekrardan ve karanlık tonlardan yana. Gariptir, az sayıda EP’si ve çok say da LP’si bulunmakta. Öne çıkan plaklar arasında Bay Of Figs, Drift ve Licking Skin bulunuyor. Bir yerde duysanız, tanıdığınıza emin olacağınız ama kim olduğunu hatırlayamayacağınız bir sürü parça var bu plaklarda. 2012 itibariyle oturup baştan sonra dinlemesi oldukça güç, ama her biri kıymeti bilinesi eserler. Yakın dönemde Making Contakt hareketi içinde de Marc Houle’a rastlamış, parçasını saygıyla dinlemiştik. Yeri gelmişken, o albümün favorisi kesinikle Heartthrob’un Slow Dance’i.

İşin magazin tarafını bilmiyorum ancak, geçtiğimiz senelerde M_nus tayfasında bir alt yapılanma yaşandı. M_nus ile bağlar tam koparılmasa da Troy Pearce, Magda ve Marc Houle toplanıp Berlin'de Items & Things adında bir plak şirketi açtılar. Houle da son albümünü bu etiketle yayınladı. Ocak sonunda albümün ilk hiti Undercover, Miro Pajic ve Bruno Pronsato'nun da katılımıyla şenlik gibi patladı. Parçanın klibini de Ahmet Said Kaplan ve Uğur Engin Deniz hazırladı. Albümün geri kalan ise şubat ayı sonunda çıktı. Hayran olup 5 vakit dinlenebilecek bir albüm değil, ama sanatçının imzas her parçada belirgin bir şekilde okunabiliyor. Ne aradığını bilen için ziyadesiyle doyurucu olabilir.
