Cooler - B'ala by Chi Recordings

Cooler - B'ala

Cup of Chi Vol. 13

Hot on the heels of Cup of Chi 12, Modul hammers it home yet again, with a sizzling and relentlessly grimy banger, Acider.  AMB brings the high-energy pain, with some twists of whimsy, in Flagpole.  Cooler gets effect-crazy in the down-tempo electro-acoustic B'ala.

Release notes:

Artists: V/A
Title: Cup Of Chi vol.13.
Genre: House / BreakBeat / Downtempo
Label: Chi Recordings
CatNum: COC013
ReleaseDate: 23/02/2009

Soon after the success of the 12th Cup of Chi, Modul kicks off the follow-up with the driving tech-house "Acider" - a kind of free-jazz battle between a wobbling, ever-ruling bass-line, a catchy hook, and densely slurping textures. AMB, who seems to have been popping back to the breaks wing recently, takes over with the energetic "Flagpole" that you probably wouldn't label cruel - until you arrive at the drop in the breakdown perhaps. Cooler concludes the package with "B'ala" delivering an excellent musical blend of acoustic and synthesized sounds.

Modul (aka DJ Mango/aka Mark Javor) has been crushing beats, spinning records, and passionately bruising vinyls since the 90s, not to mention his stunning graffiti art that often appear on various flyers or, for that matter, walls. Both as a producer and DJ he has a big appetite for genres spanning from drum'n'bass through techno to hip hop, and his master-level turntable skills have put him right up on tour with Dzihan & Kamien around Europe.

Myroslaw Bytz - Amfuem [CHI018]

Release notes:

• Artist: Myroslaw Bytz
• Title: Amfuem
• Release Date: 30 June 2008
• Genre: Minimal / TechHouse
• Label: Chi Recordings
• CatNum: CHI018

This release has been making quite a buzz for some time, with Laurent Garnier, Phil K, Cass & Audio Soul Project already indicating a very positive opinion. In fact, the FCB remix was previously licensed to the Phil K compilation, HiFi. Ben Riva's sweeping violin play spices up both tracks, weaving through an excellently crafted, dub-delayed, ambient fabric in the original, and then as tangled up electric chords in the rough and glitchy drive of FCB's version, equipping the remix with a sneaky melodic hook.
