Bloodline (Slowed Down)
Ahhh yeahhh, this tape edition features the whole album on the b-side slowed down to half speed...
On the expanded tape edition of Bloodline, Steven Julien a.k.a. Funkineven explores a charmingly personalized sonic ontology under his own name for the 2nd time following 2016’s self-titled album, continuing to come into his own with a wickedly expressive meld of jazz-fusion and machine music inspired by his ancestry and written in tribute to Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi.
Bloodline is concerned with paying dues to Steven’s ancestral roots, but it’s also an acknowledgment of influence of new age synth styles, Japanese electronics and the history of East London raving, adding up to a sound that’s brilliantly timeless and distinctly his own.
It’s a sort of hauntological soundtrack, if you will, traversing in a range of jump-cuts and fades from the filmic synth atmosphere of Hunt to a killer 303 + Linn drum combo in Roll Of The Dice, and ruggedly debonaire electro-bass on Bloodline, before swerving hard into mutant jazz-funk with Apache. The vibe then takes a super sweet turn with the percolated electro-funk of Queen of Ungilsan, and wraps up with the classicist ‘80s boogie-meets-new age strokes of Temple Rd.
