heatsick - Intersex
Steven Warwick's Heatsick project began life back in 2006 as a series of noisy sound experiments which eventually found their way onto cassette. Living in Berlin at the time, Warwick soon got drawn in to the city's club vortex and began shifting into a realm which, despite the odds, somehow worked in that environment, culminating in a Panorama Bar live show which has since been talked about by more people than could possibly have been there to witness it for themselves. Remarkably - the Heatsick setup involves little more than a battered old Casio keyboard and an effects pedal, but its the hypnotic layering of sound which makes for such elemental, enjoyable listening - and which has drawn so many tastemakers and taste-making labels to the Heatsick project. With a bunch of tapes and CDr's released for the likes of Not Not Fun and Alcoholic Narcolepsy, the esteemed PAN imprint finally deliver Warwick's debut Heatsick album proper - now finally available and presented in the label's typically sublime screen-printed fashion. And it's an excellent set of tracks to - exploring the liminal, hypnagogic spaces of electronic music through lathered, loop-based compositions made on the same Casio keyboard and pedal setup. They're improvised meditations on primal, base forms of early electronics and dance music, borrowing from the Italo/Chicago axis of electrified body music - Roberto Cacciapaglia's new wave disco gynoid, Ann Steel, and the hip-locked repetitions of Ron Hardy - to create psychedelic, psychosexual vortices for the dancefloor of the mind. This theme is made explicit by a titular reference to German sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld "looking at how music and sexuality can operate in flux on a constantly sliding scale", and implied thru an emphasis on writhing, repetitious rhythmelodic resolution. It plays out as three main pieces; the grinding, dub-bassed oscillations of 'Ice Cream On Concrete', the entrancing disco-not-disco ellipsis of 'Tertiary' and the cosmic ambiguity of 'Von Anderen Ufer', all defined by a rare, hallucinatory, and seductive quality transcending the borders of experimental intentions and primal instincts. Fans of everyone from Hype Williams to Dracula Lewis, Maria Minerva and Pat Maherr NEED to check it out.
