NARROMINDED PRESS RELEASE Narrominded presents Split LP #4: Garçon Taupe / Legowelt With smashing contributions by electro lord Legowelt from dirty brown The Hague and bleep addict Garçon Taupe from the bourgeois slums of Amsterdam, Narrominded presents the fourth installment in its renowned Split LP Series. Both sides of this Split LP comprise a whole EP in length, and the contributions have in common that they are both deeply rooted in electro music.
On Garçon Taupe’s Wittenburg EP, eighties infected drum computer beats and heavy bass lines pave the way for some rather cheerful and unpretentious melodies. The five tracks were mixed to tape at Rude 66’s Triple Six Lounge studio, and reveal influences from electronic pioneers like Yellow Magic Orchestra and Mantronix, to today’s acid freaks like Luke Vibert and Like A Tim. The end result is a catchy mixture of electro and acid.
Legowelt explores the darker corners of electronic music in four tracks leaning on eerie vocals and grungy electro beats. His Land Rovers in Astrophysics EP takes us to mysterious environments. We’re spacing out on the force of The Stars, The Universe, Etc, and dancing to hypnotic drums on a mystical trip to Pago Pago West Samoa. Legowelt not only knows how to to satisfy a dance floor, but is also capable of deeply appealing to the listener’s imagination.
