about

====================================================

Organic Analogue continues to expand its particular vision of machine-soul as a fresh talent from Amsterdam, Aleks, joins Jeremiah R, HVL, DJ Guy and MNLTH in the realm of spiritual, sonic exploration.

Capturing the foggy time-slip quality of the dancefloor with a sound that could just as easily come from the early evening or the late morning, the Pool Daze LP is a comfortable fit whatever hour it plays out. In its spirited embrace of steady, earsnagging rhythms, the warmest melodies and dubby atmospherics, it’s equally comfortable
as another thread in the OA tapestry.

This double 12” release provides the chance to hear some of the breadth in Aleks productions, commencing with the ambient submersion of “Void”. Following that most horizontal of starts, “Gone Home” makes for a gentle progression towards beats with its laconic early morning pads blowing out like Forest Pine-scented dry ice around the trunks of the acidic rhythm section. “NTH” too takes a step further up the energy scale with its Detroitian techno twitch skirting the divide between jacking club material and emotional content. “Hush” brings a peppy, 303-powered thrust to the record, but the sharp edges of the resonance and the brittle drum machine propulsion are softened by the swooning pad tones that linger throughout. Aleks displays his proficiency for ambience in the beautiful “Heavy Rain”, while “City Break” taps up the smoky drum science of mid-90s Mo Wax and runs it through a crunchy filter. It’s on “Pool Daze” that Aleks truly reveals his affinity for the infamous ‘Dam party spot The Breakfast Club. Cascading dub techno chords rattling in the distance while an impeccable house groove takes the reins – it’s the perfect recipe to submit to as the morning stretches into the afternoon.

We’re also thrilled to welcome HVL back to OA after his stunning Away From Everything We Know EP in 2015. He steps up with a remix of “Pool Daze” steeped in classic techno finery, weaving expressive melodic elements around deft beat programming in frankly
stunning turn that steps up to the giants of early electronica. As an additional treat, HVL has donned his Kiyadama guise for the “Acid Expansion” of the opening track “Void”, channelling the gods of true transcendental dance music in an eight-minute psych-out.

Aleks has already made a name for himself with releases on Natural Sciences, Hesperian Sound Division, Deeptrax and 0Helena0, while his MCM alias recently birthed the Lost For A Year cassette on Lonely Planets. Sharing our penchant for sci-fi imagery and impeccable hardware jams, this talented Dutch producer is a natural fit for OA.

Frame of Reference

This album is imaginative yet energetic, with strong electronic ambient moods and distant techno beats. Waves of synth, field recordings and melodic motifs form hazy, dreamy soundscapes. Deep drones and fading voice create a (little bit) dark and mysterious atmosphere. The use of water sound throughout the album not only brings some calm moods but also creates an excellent flow between the tracks. Nhung Nguyen
