Savath & Savalas is Scott Herren and Eva Puyeulo Muns. Scott is the fêted hip-hop producer known as Prefuse 73, who has taken his talent to new heights of delicate songwriting with Spanish vocalist and collaborator, Eva. With a critically acclaimed album, Apropa’t, a captivating performance at America’s biggest music festival, Coachella and a lengthy US tour that showcased the finest in modern Spanish music beind them, the duo return with "Mañana", eight new tracks exclusive to this release. Eva’s stunning vocal inflections are present once again, providing a sultry addition to Herren’s mix of electronic and organic atmospheres. Continuing to show his breadth as both a songwriter and producer, Scott is able to effortlessly separate himself from the thick electronic funk of Prefuse 73 and, with Eva, creates bright slices of Spanish psychedelia.
History lesson….
DJ Food has been many persons, of who we will come to in a moment. DJ FOOD is best described as Food for DJs, simple as that, just flip it around and it begins to mean something entirely different.
Originally produced by Coldcut the DJ Food project started in 1990 with the release of Jazz Brakes. Jazz Brakes Volume 3 being the label's most successful early album. Not only are they effective collections of breaks, loops and samples ideal for mixing, remixing and producing - but also fine collections of funky jazz & hip hop tunes, that cut it just as well on the discerning dancefloor as in the safety of your own home... Since the growth of the abstract hip hop scene recent years the Jazz Brakes albums have proved to be ahead of their time Jazz Brakes Volumes 4 & 5, co-created with DJ/producer PC, are collections of finely crafted tunes that transcend the breakbeat compilation format to stand as artist albums in their own right. These latter DJ Food albums have developed with shades of latin, dub, techno, ambient, tribal, african and jungle flavouring the funk. The October '95 album entitled 'A Recipe For Disaster' was a conscious break from the five Jazz Brakes volumes to form more of an identity as an artist, and a remix album of tracks from all 6 LPs 'Refried Food' was released Feb '96. A new Studio album is being prepared by PC and Strictly Kev in various top secret kitchens across London as you read this. They are collaborating with various guests on this including Bundy K. Brown (ex-Tortoise, Directions in Music, Pullman) and Ken Nordine (60's word jazz poet).
After
some ten years of releasing music for everyone else on the planet (Rephlex,
Ninja Tune, Virgin/Astralwerks, Nothing, Planet Mu and Mo’ Wax among countless
others), Luke Vibert finally comes round to giving one up for what many would
consider to be his spiritual home. And naturally, we think it’s his most
exquisite work yet.
Throughout his career, Luke has masterfully matched his natural creative bounce
– the man can’t help himself, he’s been known to produce a track a day for
months on end – with an ear for accessibility, and never more successfully than
on YosepH (note the ‘pH’ – which here refers to a table of basses, acids and
very excited neurons).
The logical conclusion to years of self-inflicted abuse within the genre of
‘acid-techno’, YosepH is what you might call an acid renaissance album –
timeless, perfect and sonically magical. A record for the mind that can cut it
on the dancefloor (try to resist the raving lure of ‘I Love Acid’, ‘Acidisco’ or
‘Synthax’) YosepH is a seriously addictive batch of fresh acid, wrought with
much love from loads of gnarly, vintage analogue synths and beautifully polished
with meticulous Vibert production glow. It’s the definitive, killer record Luke
Vibert has always threatened to make. Yes!
Boards of Canada originate around 1976 when Michael and Marcus were children. Both learned to play various musical instruments while moving and relocating between northern Scotland, southern England and Alberta in Canada. Around 1980 on the north-east coast of Scotland the first version of the band was formed, not yet including Marcus Eoin in the line-up. For the next few years Mike and cohorts created experimental music using borrowed synths,
drums and tape machines. Around this time the band were starting to create home
movies with a Super-8 camera. Educational television documentaries and film
soundtracks were becoming a big influence on the group and the crossover between
their musical creations and their film creations was becoming more blurred. The
documentaries of the National Film Board of Canada were regular viewing for the
young collective, and they were later to name their band as a nod to this early
influence.
