Sender once again draws its circle wider, welcoming
two artists making their first appearances on the label.
Argentinas Barem and Berlins Matt John each tackle
tracks by Benno Blome, putting their own
unmistakable stamps on Bennos dark, slightly sinister
brand of techno.
Having moved to Berlin recently, Barem (Mauricio
Barenbuem) has risen fast since he began releasing on
the Unfoundsound netlabel in 2005, developing a
slinky, percussive style on releases for labels like
Foundsound and Minus. On his remix of Bennos
"Rumburak" (Sender 075), he goes deeper than usual,
twisting the original into a weirdly funky low-end
monster, as gnarled as the branches of a haunted tree.
The LA singer Big Bully is the star of the show: what
were merely whispers in Bennos track have become
a full-fledged assault of soulful growls and croons. A
huge, heaving bass line pushes the track forward as
the soundfield fills with dry, staccato drums and
dubbed-out drones. Talk about a powerful slab of
funk. Benno, Barem and Bully, we like the way you
move.
On the flip, Matt John takes on Bennos "Sarahtov
Airlines" (Sender 065). Remaining faithful to the
contours of the original, Matt keeps the tracks
signature bleeps, folding them into a long, spiraling
groove. Clanging cymbals and crisp handclaps
reference an old-school vibe, but everything else
comes straight out of Matts alternate universe:
swirling voices, weird whoops and squeals, warped
percussion. Over nine minutes long, the track climbs
and dives like an airplane being tossed from gust to
gust, but its a smooth, hypnotic ride. Wherever
"Sarahtov Airlines" flies, its guaranteed to take you far,
far away.
