Accentuating their sounds with digital clarity and rustic ambiences Schematic’s experimental electro is an obvious reference point in the ever expanding musical realm of electronic music. This 4th compilation for the label captures the minuscule frequencies of acoustic electro-rhythms with a foundation of digital mayhem filling in the spacious voids. With a crew made of Tipper (Phoenecia Remix), Otto Von Schirach, Dino Felipe, Kiyo, Phoenecia, Richard Devine, and Canibal A:fraux, you can surely see that the grooves of this release are composed of new and already established talent.
While the crop of compilations continues to grow on an international level, it’s always a pleasure to hear that an influential label like Schematic continues to release non-linear music challenging the current direction of electronics. And so is the case with ..General-Purpose Audio Work; A balance between artistic freedom is expressed with the use of abstract digital and analog musical formations. As the breathing entity of distorted electro is ever present in the Schematic envelope, ..General-Purpose Audio Work sets the formula for accessible electronics colliding with peculiar audio deconstructions. Highlights include Tipper’s “Dissolve” remix by Phoenecia, Otto Von Schirach’s “Dream Date 808” (Feat. Monica De Miguel), Dino Felipe’s jazzy/funk/laid-back vibe of “Topiary Schissors” and the hypnotic pulse of Phoenecia’s “Homosote.” Watch your eardrums.
“The art-enhanced beats of Miami’s maniacs belongs on the gallery of your mind before relinquished to electronica history…”
Well-Suited For General-Purpose Audio Work is out now on Schematic Music Company.
