Songs From The Beehive
David Moufang's catalogue must be one of the deepest and most sprawling in electronic music - he has been involved with so many projects, for so many labels, with so many different sounds over the last 2 decades that it's impossible to know where to begin - taking in elements of Techno, Jazz, Drone, House and ambient music along the way.
His collaborative venture with Benjamin Brunn started out life on the Raster Noton related Bine imprint, but it's this amazing set for Smallville that's really got pulses racing with anticipation. "Songs from the Beehive" features 7 extended tracks that take in disparate elements from across Moufang's career, merging them into an immersive wash of sounds that drive around padded beats designed for the floor, yet surrounded by sound fragments and tapestries rarely associated with Techno music.
The opening "Love the one you're with" is a case in point, over 12 minutes the track evolves from a hazy stew of audio shrapnel and loose samples to a deep and bouncy shuffle full of scattered keys and funked changes. The fact that it takes the kickdrum almost 5 minutes to make an appearance tells you a lot about the pace and compositional attitude of these tracks - slowly taking time to unfold and unravel, revealing new dimensions with every repeated listen.
"Honey" makes a welcome appearance, while the immense "Come In" exudes a breathless elegance that's all midnight keys and angular motion - it's just impossibly lovely. With really quite sublime artwork from Stefan Marx, this really is a treat for followers of Move D and great electronic music generally - we urge you to check it out.
