Mit Itals "Hive Mind" nominiert Planet Mu schon im noch jungen Jahr 2012 einen der Kandidaten für das kreativste, tanzflächentauglichste Album des Jahres. Gäbe man jemandem eine mündliche Beschreibung des Brown House Sound von Theo Parrish und gäbe ihm den Auftrag, den Sound zu kopieren, ohne ihn jemals gehört zu haben, könnte das Resultat wie ,Hive Mind" aussehen. Natürlich könnte es auch ganz anders aussehen, aber die Idee ist zu gut, um sie zu unterschlagen. Genau wie die Myriade von Ideen, die sich durch den kreativen Raum von Ital schlängeln, falten und entfalten. Der Name Daniel Martin-McCormick mag von seiner Disco / Punk / Echo Band Mi Ami bekannt sein oder als Sexworker auf dem Not Not Fun Label oder schlussendlich als Ital auf dem 100% Silk Label, für das er eine Version von House aufnimmt, die sich von den House-lastigen Sounds auf ,Hive Mind" deutlich unterscheidet. Aufgewachsen in Washington DC hat Daniel eine Vergangenheit in der Hardcoreszene der Stadt und hat sogar in einer der Bands gespielt, die auf dem legendären Dischord Label veröffentlichten. Schon immer hat er jedoch auch Dancetracks aufgenommen. Die wiederum unterschieden sich aber ebenfalls schon immer von den Tracks, die der Typ von nebenan mit seiner ,Logic"-Ausgabe und einem oberflächlichen Dance Wissen aufgenommen hätte. ,Hive Mind" klingt wie gemeißelt. Sounds verdrehen sich in Raum und Zeit und klingen fast dreidimensional, während Melodien aufreiben und Stimmen hier und dort durchdringen. Das Album klingt einzigartig und unheimlich. Nichts darf hier gemütlich zusammenpassen, alles vibriert. Ital produziert hier ein unwiderstehlich eindringliches Hörerlebnis.
Right at the start of the year, Planet Mu - the label responsible for some of the foremost electronic albums of 2011 - present already a candidate for 2012's most questing dance-fuelling long-player. If you gave someone a description of Theo Parrish's most opiated brown-house excursions and asked them to copy that style without letting them hear it, the result might well come out like 'Hive Mind'. Of course, it might not too, but it's a nice idea to turn over, no? Much like the multitude of ideas that turn and twist and tumble and gracefully fold and unfold at length in Ital's creative vortex. Daniel Martin-McCormick's name has recently and increasingly become known in association with his disco / punk / echo band 'Mi Ami', or as 'Sex Worker' on the Not Not Fun label, or finally as 'Ital' on NNF's sister imprint 100% Silk, for whom he records a version of house music which is quite different still to the house-inspired sounds that emerge on 'Hive Mind'. Raised in Washington DC, Daniel has a history in the city's hardcore scene, having been in a band signed to the legendary Dischord label. However, he has always made dance inspired tracks too, but at a very different angle to your average guy with a copy of Logic and a passing knowledge of dance music history. Daniel's music is a stranger thing. Working best at high volume, it uses house's easy going 4 / 4 structure as a kind of camouflage for more out-there sonic explorations; subverting expectations, seeking out the links between the space and the sound-bending of dub and industrial's unsettling sonics with the grooves of classic house and the effects and black holes of minimal at it's weirdest. 'Hive Mind' has a sculptured feel; sounds twist in space, feeling almost three dimensional, and melodies pitch-shift in an unsettling way; voices dissolve in and out of these frameworks and the whole album has a unique, haunted feel; nothing is ever allowed to settle totally comfortably, everything vibrates. Opener 'Doesn't Matter (If You Love Him)' sounds a bit like Tackhead if they had made house music, using a flickering and confidently repeated phrase over a lumbering drum and bassline, introducing swirling and bombing synths into the mix. 'Floridian Void's' strange marriage of treated voices and swelling, pitch-bent chords and effects draws the listener into its strange atmosphere; it's an ambient house track of sorts, but the ambience here is a swirling, confusing, watery vortex rather than being fuzzy and new age. 'Privacy Settings' builds creepy wolf howls over a slow bassline and cold faraway banging drums, estranged from their usual disco setting. Next, 'Israel' picks things up again, with weird, pitch-shifting edited bells over dubby toms, all the while cold chords rushing in and out over this unsettling backing track. The closer 'Final Wave' restores the album back to something resembling normality, with a disco-like swing that recalls Moodymann's beat down productions but slid through brutal dub-like FXs that bring out a shade of strangeness in an otherwise happy groove. An entirely, unarguably, and irresistibly essential listening experience.
"Der erste Track treibt noch in gewohnt polternder Manier ein sich überschlagendes Vocal-Sample vor sich her, doch unter dem 4 / 4-Mantel betreibt Daniel eigentlich psychedelische Klangforschung zwischen Ambient und Industrial. (...) Sein Newbie-Status verleihe ihm die Kraft, um ganz uneingeschränkt Grenzen überschreiten zu können (...) Mit ,Hive Mind" setzt er jedenfalls eine Starke Duftmarke im Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit." - d: bug 01 / 2012
,,House-not-House. Progression durch Kreationen, Mutationen und Neuinterpretationen von allem, was mal Housemusik war." (musikexpress, April 2012)
