So the guys at Content have been staying busy, they recently released the Signal Path compilation, and a forthcoming album from 2tall. The reason for this little chunk of words is to let you know about Dday One's latest release, Heavy Migration. Out this month on the Content Label (limited vinyl) & P-vine (digital, Japan). I've learned that the limited release is a double edged sword & these don't last long. On the one hand it is nice when you get one of these limited releases knowing you are one of the few. On the other hand if you don't have one it sucks. I missed out on the Loop Extensions LP, Dday One's first album, I have the mp3's from bleep.com and that will have to do. So you see I speak from experience when I say you should order this quick. On that note I have a few copies of the Dextah / Dday One split 7", I believe everyone else is sold out. Here is some information from the One Sheet & some audio:
The idea of the “perfect beat” may be beyond a doubt unattainable, nevertheless it has and will continue to provide beat-makers with a life long objective. This project came into being through a course of contemplation, growth and reverence, all out of the persistent search for this idea.Heavy Migration deals with the movement of sound from one medium to another, but beyond that it represents growth. Reminiscent of humans who migrate, sounds retain traits established from their origin (pitch, cultural markers, ambiance of the original recording session, etc). Groundwork began late 2006, when sounds were compiled from various sources including traditional and handmade instruments, older and contemporary data formats but principally vinyl records dealing with ethnomusicology (study of music from a global context). As with previous projects, sounds where sampled, manipulated and meticulously arranged. Recording took place during spring to winter 2007. Related Links:Content LabelDday One (myspace)
