The Indoor
Shed is a mid-priced smattering of downbeat highlights
from the last two years 12” EPs on Deep-Water Recordings.
It’s rammed to compaction with glittering delights
from the likes of HINT,
NORMAL
POSITION, MINOTAUR SHOCK,
JON KENNEDY, SOFALOFA,
PSAPP, BATHYSPHERE,
MONKEY
MAGIC and CHIN-CHIN.
Deep-Water Recordings finally go digital in the shape
of the mid-priced ‘Indoor
Shed’ compilation Compact Disc. The CD attempts
to answer the constant barrage of “when’s
the first album out….?” questions that our
legacy of eight full-strength 12” EPs has created……so,
what’s it all about?
The ‘Indoor Shed’ throws light on the label’s
uniquely lush sound, a stunning roster of artists and
remixes from some of the biggest names around. Over the
last two years Deep-Water have steadily been gathering
kudos, momentum and critical acclaim in discerning electronic
downbeat circles with their limited edition vinyl-only
EPs. The highlights of these EPs are finally gathered
together on this CD….so, who’ve they got on
it?
Deep-Water discovered the maverick pastoral phenomenon
called HINT
– now the soul property of the mighty NINJA
TUNES. Here he represents with the smash hit ‘Quite
Spectacular’, plus there’s remix action
courtesy of GRAND CENTRAL/TRU-THOUGHTS’
geezer JON KENNEDY and
an exclusive remix from the up and coming KING
SEVEN. As their debut album approaches, the wonky-yet-lush
sounds of NORMAL
POSITION contributions include the lounging dance-floor
blips of ‘Lil
Jeff’ and ‘Altered’,
plus a dazzling remix from MELODIC’s
own MINOTAUR SHOCK. Melodic
also work with Deep-Water newsters and current press darlings
PSAPP, who
have the Herbert-esque ‘Scissory’
up for grabs on the ‘Indoor
Shed’.
BATHYSPHERE’s
abundant slo-mo textures in and endtroduce the comp, MONKEY
MAGIC gets cheeky after being Ministry Mag’s
record of the month, the SOFALOFA
warms up for his appearance the new FABRIC
comp ‘AMALGAMATION OF
SOUNDZ’, with the glitchy ‘Counts
the Accular’ .They’ve also got the wistful
and soothing CHIN-CHIN
chopping up the lovely ‘Koto
Salad’. In fact its rammed to compaction with
what Jockey Slut called ‘slo-mo beats, lush arrangements
and bewitching melodies..’ |
