First Purple Trax wax! WABI SABI a new project by myself (Rezzie), Terekke and Jan Woo. Here is the first taste, featuring M. Ravitz AKA Patricia on keys.
For the debut of New York’s anticipated Purple Trax label, a new formation of key players in Brooklyn’s underground debuts with an EP sure to entrance fans of L.I.E.S., White Material, and other established NYC labels. Composed of Terekke, local DJ/producer Jan Woo, and Erez Avissar, label head and founder of the respected Weird Magic parties, Wabi Sabi’s dusky and diverse sound comes from its origin in loft jams, but tracks like the closing ‘Rx’ with its powerful dub techno framework show the work of seasoned talents. Patricia’s cameo on ‘Casper’ is the record’s strangest sound, a propulsive house groove with explosions of crackling texture and a bassline deeply buried in fog, while ‘Babi’ stutters along between the drum pulse and its disappearances into deep wells of delayed vocal samples and gentle melodies. Vibes are saved for the opener ‘Moon River Membrane’, where Terreke’s characteristic cosmic haze comes out more heavily, complemented by the genre-bending psychedelic tendencies of Avissar’s programming and Woo’s weighty low-end.
Pt. 1 will be released on April 19th (Bicycle day). PRE-ORDER HERE.
more soon!

when ryan schreiber txted me hours before deerhunter @ apple store soho show asking me unexpectedly to shoot it (in almost all cases, i ask for the shows i shoot), of course, i had to say yes. i’ve seen them in more perfect scenarios, but no amount of crowd tameness (seated) or sterility of setting could keep the band’s textures and melodies from soaring and hitting heavy. as usual, bradford cox was his overly-gregarious self. every time i’ve hung around him he’s been the last one there, and that was no different tonight, where he engaged with fans fully, taking pictures, passing his guitar around and demonstrating how he achieves his sounds. i won’t soon forget the communal jam session post-A.T.P. last year that lasted through the morning, or earlier that same day when p.f.t.v. had a marathon video shoot with him and literally had to cut him after awhile from simply going and going. i sound like i’m glowing, but i’m just refracting his light.
