"Phillip Western has demonstrated time and time again his capacity for combining experimental synthesis with spaced-out atmospheres and infectious grooves. Known as much for his collaborations with cEvin Key in Download and PlatEAU, as well as releases under his various other monikers like Kone and Beehatch, his latest release under his own name is a wonderful testament to his abilities as a live performer." (Ilker YŸcel, Re:Gen Magazine)

Innerflight Music – IFM-008 - Phil Western – Red Eyes - Techno

Without question, techno for the brain and food for the dark soul. Acid bass forms the substratum of this multi-layered and nefarious confection. Lucidly natural yet mind-bendingly complex, the progression of the tune carries with it a theatrical sense of rising action complimented by those analog loop tweaks that are so classically "Philth." Kaleidoscopic richness on the vox give this track a transgendered nature that exemplifies the deviant and experimental nature of this artist's work. Helter-skelter vibes tiptoe on the periphery of psychosis, but keeps it grooving with warm pads and psychedelic ambient washes. Dilated yet focused, soothing and unnerved, "Red Eyes" rides the edge between the conscious and subconscious with well processed sampling that seems to come from the vault of a long-lost age, creating a sense of delightful bewilderment.


Innerflight Music – IFM-008 - Phil Western – Stalker - Techno

Phil sets an ominous tone in this deep and nasty techno thriller by creating the hair-raising feeling of being pursued. Experimental loops of field recordings combine forces with a menacing bass line that just won't quit as it continues to creep deep into the mix. Resonant stabs emerge and then submerge beneath icy synth squalls for an unnerving and chilly blast of sordid funk that will leave you shuddering with late-night dance floor satisfaction. As this harrowing track gathers steam and closes in on it's prey, it illustrates how good techno is truly greater than the sum of its parts. Prepare to be disturbed as "Stalker" will have you breathing down someone's neck in no time.


Innerflight Music – IFM-008 - Phil Western – Stalker – Let's Go Outside Mix - Techno

Where the original has an immediacy that hunts you down, the Let's Go Outside's rework exudes a sense of audio voyeurism that watches your every move from a calculated distance. Vibration and resonance take center stage from the get-go with a booming sub that undulates with intensity. No nonsense drum programming is layered with distorted and diced vocal samples to create a pumping break that hits like nitrous oxide, taking the track to the next level of throb. Additional sample work provides an unsettling sense of depth filled by metallic jangles, disturbed whispers, and heavy breathing. A deliciously perplexing and consciously complex track that sets a spooky mood for brooding techno groovers.

Mynus

Palpitating minimal goodness multiplied by solid house energy, plus that deep salacious bass = Mynus.  Sick and dirty, yes; but equal parts precise and super-fresh.  It all equates to a bangin' balanced equation.  Matt Bagshaw, aka Mynus, indisputably throws it down in LA and is currently capturing the attention of DJs, dancers, and producers alike on the west coast and beyond, such as his ace remixers on this release, Noah Pred and Angel Alanis.  Pred, the insanely talented individual behind Thoughtless Music, and Alanis, a dj and producer on some of the world's most prominent labels and founder of A-squared Muzik, each coax "Follow Me" in divergent yet beguiling directions.

Innerflight Music – IFM-007 - Mynus – Follow Me – Original Mix - Tech House
This smart and filthy little thumper opens with a seemingly innocent house rhythm that cleanly ricochets through a sense of polished vastness provided by the depth of the sputtering stabs and echoed vox.  Gusts of techno raindrops spatter your dome and penetrate to the core, melting hard edges and warming up for some serious tech-house hijinks.  Relentless energy threatens to burst through every seam and stitch as the track progresses, yet a tightly-buttoned and spit-polished aesthetic harnesses the delicious tension, setting up for a depraved and hedonistic release of unbridled filthy bass that gives new meaning to the word "gratification."  Consider yourself warned: the bassline will have you feeling downright dirty, but refreshing arcade-like showers of sound and an expertly placed sprinkle of glitch on the vox has a cleansing effect, washing away all evidence of your dirty bass-driven compulsions to Mynus.

Innerflight Music – IFM-007 - Mynus – Follow Me – Noah Pred Mix - Tech House
Noah's unexpectedly progressive approach spreads the track across a twilight canyon expanse and opens up an abysmal and cavernous sense of depth.  Softening the rigidity with a melodic layer that warms the groove, Pred beckons the shadowy ghosts in the circuitry to come out and play.  The vox is dropped down to an ethereal whisper, upping the enchantment and enhancing the magic of this dark and very danceable delight.  Mr. Pred definitely descends into a deeper realm as this remix progresses, yet glimmering surface synths keep the textures varied and luminous; mix into this one as dawn's first light is beginning to creep behind the horizon.

Innerflight Music – IFM-007 - Mynus – Follow Me – Angel Alanis Mix - Minimal House
Angel Alanis proves that something doesn't have to be complicated to be intoxicating, and it's downright dangerous that this man has created something this sexy that's so minimal.  This version of "Follow Me" simply oozes elemental techno sickness.  Alanis excavates layers of sound by digging deep into the track and stripping away excess until he's left with one solid gem of a remix.  Like a hot piece that "cleans up real nice," this remix has a ruggedly seductive edge due to the simmering, bassy tom booms and lazered edges.  The progression builds steadily and then unfolds with origami-like precision; the sampling is neat, like surgery, with exacting strokes that gush forth with a meticulous and flowing groove leading to a squealing, gratifying breakdown.

Innerflight Music – IFM-007 - Mynus – No Idea – Original Mix - Tech House
With a taut and stormy bassline that severely thumps and just the right amount of gloomy, brooding, sinister synths, Mynus pulls ears and minds into a pounding vortex of minimal drama that is both menacing and electrified.  Choppy futuristic croaks and robotic groans suggest a disintegrated vox,  and combine with shiver-inducing keyboard stabs and reverberating homing bleeps to create a looming and shadowy tension that is sure to bring out the dark intensity of the dancefloor.

Innerflight Music – IFM-006 - Gel-Sol – Skub – Original Mix - Chill Out
Gel-Sol takes you to a seashore somewhere in deep space, immersing the ears in warm, foamy eddies of resonance.  A textured bassline and evocative overlapping melodies bob on the shimmering surface of ebbing and flowing tidal synths; washing in this new track from Seattle's resident expert in cosmic soundscapes.

Innerflight Music – IFM-006 - Nick Douglas – The UnaSampler – Original Mix - Tech House
'The Unasampler' puts the best of both worlds into one startlingly explosive little package. Intelligent track progression with creative drum programming for the heads combine with a stompy bassline and irresistible stuttering rhythm for the dancers. All wrapped up with electrified synths and felicitous samples make for one banger of a house floor stomper.

Innerflight Music – IFM-006 - Mynus – Ish – Original Mix - Tech House
Without question, a dark and dirty dance track for dirty dancing nightcrawlers. However, with this minimal techno sparkplug the devil is in the details. A faint faraway vox echoes beneath the beat, providing a unique sense of depth and a spooky emotional vibrance while a wobbly, pumping bassline neatly cleans up after the ravaging breakdown.

Innerflight Music – IFM-006 - novaTRON – The Heist – Original Mix - Breaks
Hotter than burning rubber, 'The Heist' makes you an accomplice in a warped high-speed aural getaway from the left coast to the far east. With a precise blending of action-theme flavored funk, hypnotic flutes and tribal percussion, The Heist is a sneak preview of what NovaTRON is bringin' in 2009.
