MOLA!!!







So we're really going with "glo-fi"? Let's move in untrackable, real-time bursts: Glo-house is a micro-subgenre (population: 1) and newjack Spanish house whiz John Talabot is its Jebediah Springfield. (You want staying power? See it now: The Month in Glo-House and Pinwheel-Tech, coming to Pitchfork, spring 2011.)
Strange bedfellows these: a song nominally about sunshine intended to soundtrack an activity-- dancing-- that occurs almost exclusively indoors and in the dark. Unlike some of this year's otherRa-heavy artists, Talabot is very much a dancefloor producer, and "Sunshine" has a fuzzed-out coda and abrupt ending (presumably for mixing purposes) to prove it. It's "Sunshine"'s beginning, however, that will snatch your attention: a sickle-shaped guitar lick that swipes playfully at the edge of a snare-like patter and, several measures in, a sternum-arranging bass kick.
Talabot works a bit of sleight of hand from there, carefully unfurling new sounds and masking old ones, but only while your attention is diverted: a slowly budding choir of voices as you mull that guitar line; popping claps to distract you as it returns. A restrained, female "Sun-shine" is as close as the track gets to a diva moment, but by its apex nearly six minutes in, you're not sure to which of the track's many elements you've been listening and for how long, though they sort of all feel breezy and evening-wear-neat. There's no law that says your shimmying need be contained, and it's nearly August: Go commandeer a rooftop and work up an ordinance violation.

Descubrimos a John Talabot hace aproximadamente un año. Fue precisamente con “Sunshine“, el tema que protagoniza esta referencia y, desde el primer momento, supimos que estábamos frente a un artista especial. El paso de los meses nos ha dado la razón ya que, poco a poco, nuestro hombre se ha ido abriendo camino hasta convertirse en una de las revelaciones de la temporada. Y es que su reciente maxi en Permanent Vacation le ha valido el reconocimiento instantáneo de la plana mayor de la galaxia electrónica. El siguiente paso de su prometedora carrera lo da en Hivern, lo cual nos llena de orgullo. Es además, un lanzamiento muy especial, ya que se trata del primer vinilo que editamos.
Con influencias que van de Moodyman a beatmasters como J Dilla, la música de este joven productor de Barcelona es orgánica, humana y iconoclasta. “Sunshine” fue su primera canción y reúne todas las características de su estilo; samples bien escogidos, beats gordos y el toque africano marca de la casa. Tan original y efectivo como difícil de describir. Quizá por eso se ha convertido en un fijo en las sesiones de James Holden.
Siendo el primer vinilo que edita Hivern, hemos querido contar con remezclas muy especiales. Luke Abbot, Ilya Santana y Affkt provienen de puntos muy distintos en el mapa de la música de baile y sus remezclas són un reflejo de ello. Abbot, el penúltimo descubrimiento de Border Community, reconstruye el tema a partir de la percusión, desfigurando los sonidos del original y añadiendo uno de sus característicos arpeggios. Ilya Santana, el discomaster canario, se lleva “Sunshine” completamente a su terreno y lo convierte en una pequeña odisea cósmica con las voces enterradas entre capas y capas de sintes. Affkt, en cambio, mantiene el espíritu original de la canción, utilizando prácticamente todos sus sonidos pero dotándolo de un groove veraniego que hace honor al título del tema.
We discovered John Talabot approximately a year ago. It was with “Sunshine”, the main track of this reference, and, from the beginning, we knew he was a very special artist. Some months have passed and we’ve been proved right; slowly but steadily our man has become one of the year’s revelations. His recent release in Permanent Vacation has gained him the instant recognition of some of the main figures of the electronic music galaxy. Now, he gives the next step of his promising career in our label and this makes us very proud. Also, it’s the first vinyl we edit, which makes it an even more special release.
With influences that go from Moodyman to beatmasters like J Dilla, the music from this Barcelona young producer is organic, human and iconoclastic. “Sunshine” was his first song and serves as a perfect example of his unique style: good choice of samples, fat beats and his trademark african touch. As original and effective as hard to describe. Maybe because of this it has become a fixture in James Holden sets.
Being the first vinyl released by Hivern we wanted to have some very special remixes. Luke Abbot, Ilya Santana and Affkt come from very different spots in the dance music map and their remixes are a good reflection of it. Abbot, Border Community´s penultimate wonder kid, reconstructs the track from it’s percussion, twisting the original sounds and adding one of his characteristic arpeggios. Canary Island’s disco master Ilya Santana, brings “Sunshine” to his own land, transforming it into a cosmic odyssey with voices buried under endless layers of synthesizers. Affkt, on the other hand, maintains the song’s original spirit, using all it’s sounds but giving it a summery groove that honors the tracks name.
