\nBIG TIP!<\/p>\n
“In September 2019, Motor City techno legend Terrence Dixon made a rare trip to Europe. He was introduced to Jordan Czamanski AKA Jordan GCZ, a serial collaborator and electronic music improviser best known for his work as part of Juju & Jordash and, alongside David Moufang and Gal \u201cJuju\u201d Aner, as Magic Mountain High.<\/p>\n
The pair hit it off immediately, so Czamanski powered up his studio and the pair began to jam. Over the following five days, the pair improvised extensively, stopping only periodically to drink coffee and discuss music, life and much more besides. While in the studio, they barely uttered a word to each other, instead responding almost psychically to the rhythms, grooves, riffs and musical motifs the other was spinning into the mix.<\/p>\n
The results of these surprisingly magical 2019 studio sessions are showcased on Keep In Mind, I\u2019m Out of My Mind, the pair\u2019s first joint album and Dixon\u2019s most significant musical collaboration since the Detroiter\u2019s 2018 hook-up with German techno and ambient veteran Thomas Fehlmann.<\/p>\n
In keeping with the project\u2019s improvised roots, the six-track set is notable for its immediacy, pleasing looseness \u2013 it was mostly created using outboard equipment including synthesizers, drum machines and effects units \u2013 and sonic fluidity. It offers a neat, symmetrical blend of the two producers\u2019 trademark styles, with Czamanski\u2019s attractive chords, melodies and jazz-flecked motifs rising above hypnotic, cymbal-heavy rhythms that have long been the hallmark of Detroit\u2019s sci-fi-fuelled techno sound.<\/p>\n
This unique and appealing, dancefloor-focused sound ripples through album opener \u2018Fretless\u2019, an ultra-deep chunk of heady liquid techno, and the breathless bustle of \u2018Operation Delete\u2019, where bubbly synthesizer motifs, cascading ambient electronics and urgent bass cluster around a killer broken techno groove.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s there, too, throughout the surging, deliciously percussive \u2018Space Chime\u2019, an alien-sounding concoction that sounds like it was beamed down from some distant galaxy, the warming-but-intoxicating minor key swirl of \u2018Axis Mundi\u2019 \u2013 a two-part slab of techno psychedelia full of trippy electronics, dystopian jazz riffs and intergalactic intent \u2013 and the pitched-down, mind-altering oddness of closing cut \u2018Above Ground\u2019, when the pair goes all-out in pursuit of leftfield techno perfection.<\/p>\n
Created from scratch in a few days by two of electronic music\u2019s most accomplished improvisers, Keep In Mind, I\u2019m Out of My Mind is an exemplary meeting of musical minds and sonic sensibilities.”<\/p>\n
