I fucked with IDM for a minute before I got into Autechre, but once I heard Tri Repetae++, I found one of my favorite albums, ever. Their blend of dub, the best forms of "intelligent dance music" and just the overall feel of the project had me hooked. Concréte Sound System, aka Luta's new live project, has sorted out a dope Autechre tribute mix, essentially: "In the coming years the importance of the 90′s era IDM will become more and more relevant to the music of today. Then like now were a bunch of artists unaffected by trends and fashions, freed from the typical concepts of musical success to work within the realm of technology based music in means few before had ever explored. Today many of the sounds which they uncovered have become the catalyst for genres, trends and fashions. Making it my prediction that as those genres, trends and fashions consume themselves it will be the aesthetic as much as the music which proves to be the legacy of the era.Picking out one artist to represent any era of music is fundamentally impossible to do objectively. So make no mistake that the choice of Autechre here is quite the subjective one. Perhaps the most influential artists upon my own work it was a pleasure going through their massive catalog to pull together this mix. bÆts is a collection which aims to show that the two perhaps better known for their ambient and melodic work can throw down block rocking beats with the rest of them. Of course since we’re talking Autechre nothing is quite straight forward, but be clear it makes for one helluva ride.
This mix also inaugurates my new live set Concréte Sound System (CSS). Like the mix itself you can expect the future of CSS to be breathtakingly relentless". Shouts to Elucid for hipping me to this.
