Finally we are back with a new ssg mix. Sorry, we have been busy... Our latest mix is from EOD. We first discovered him with his "Utrecht" 12" in 2010, which coincidentally has just been repressed. If you missed a copy the first time, I strongly recommend grabbing one now. It is one of my favourite records from the last few years. For me it was very reminiscent of Aphex Twin, without it ever feeling like he was trying to copy RDJ. There is an obvious debt, but EOD is doing his own thing. As I have discovered more of EOD's work, and his other alias CN, I have found his sound to lie somewhere in between on the one hand, Aphex and the Rephlex crew, and on the other, the Dutch electro sound of Legowelt, Bunker and Creme. What EOD shares with all of these artists and labels is a very classical analog sound, and a general "fuck it" attitude. And this is definitely on display in the mix that he has put together, which is made up all of his own productions. It is a bit chaotic and messy at points, but the mix has a real charm to it. Some proper electro and braindance music...
ssg special - EOD
For more on EOD, check his website and follow him on twitter and on facebook. He has EPs upcoming on Wil-Ru Records and WeMe (which recently released a killer collab EP from DJ Stingray and Heinrich Mueller). There is also lots of music available to purchase through his bandcamp. And appropriately, he will be playing as part of the Rephlex 21st birthday lineup at Bangface Weekender in September. So plenty on the way... Big thanks to EOD for sharing his music with us. Enjoy this 45 minutes trip into the world of EOD.
i probably should click 'sync' in traktor when i pretend to mix, but i thought it sounded funny. watching train wrecks is more interesting than watching trains pass without incidence.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. He had passed me by, Utrecht is just 'wow'
ReplyDeleteReally like a lot of his tracks. Nice electro-ish sounds with a bit of a Detroit flavour. Will especially have to search what track that is between 30:00 and 32:30 with this lovely Dopplereffekt touch. Thanks for introducing me to EOD and thanks for the mix.
ReplyDelete@ plan17: glad you like it. we will post a tracklist for it next week, pretty much all of it is upcoming, though!
