Opal Tapes
, the
cassette-based
label,
effortlessly flirts with
house, techno
and some of the
most cutting-
edge experimental music
around. On Saturday, three of their artists will present their vision of how
dance music
should sound like - the
founding father, Basic House
,
S. Olbricht
and
Huerco S.
Huerco S.
released music at Maxmillion Dunbar''s Future Music,
Anthony Naples'' Proibito and Basic House''s Opal Tapes label - just to name a few. He plays a
strange kind of ''outsider house''
-
4/4 pulse,
semi-danceable drum beats but mixed with
drowsy ambient sound collages
and
melodies languish in dusty, half-finished states
. Strange grooves,
short loops and otherworldly samples and
wasted, empty weirdnes.
S. Olbricht
, one half of the
hardware-driven-acid-noise duo, Silf
favours emotional,
lo-fi romanticism
that’s geared for the body and heart. His music sounds as if it was
tailor-made for the lo-fi dance imprint
. Olbricht walks in the footstep of the label founder Basic House, meaning that ''outsider techno/house'' parts are mixed with
ambient-like soundscapes, abstract sonispheres and ephemeral atmospherics
. Techno and house, wrapped in
opium haze
.
