about

polytypic one is the debut album release from polytype records.

compiled, curated, programmed & sequenced by label founder edv3ctor, it represents the outlooks & attitudes from a diverse range of artists, creating a new listening context for this particular grouping of sub-genres within the electronic music [and sound] scope. we whole heartedly encourage you to listen deeply.

beginning with strains of modern classical and ambient from Anna Peaker, the opening part of this hour long sequence, continues w/ Ben England's exploratory cinematic soundscape as District Advisory Board. both these missives are on the mind side & encourage the listener to remain focused on what's to come.

Cedar's interest in the hybrid strains emerging from drum & bass & minimal techno fuses a sparseness of touch w/ enveloping low end tones, drawing the mind forward, anticipating movement of the body. Thirdspace's debut track, opens up with splintered polyrythmatics, sampled encouragement for self freedom & warm, soul infused Detriotian deep house/jazz licks. billy2chips 'Another Day' keeps the uplift & forward motion going w/ percussive, needlepoint beat placement & spectral soundscape-play.

the layered tones & chimes of Torom's 'Boomerang' glides along in a dreamlike trance, an undulating interplay of effervescence with spools of (un)coiling drum work. Geiom's 'Soul Bauble' shifts the sequence towards, greyer, murkier urban zones of dramatic sweeps & ghostly tones in a darker (non)space of weightlessness w/ flickering, hopeful embers of light.

the interjection of DAB's 'ref: de/31a' low end tremors, reminds us of the prominent bass weight of his acute & clinical UK junglist approach. Charlie Evatt's 'Dazzle A' durational, dub wise informed, hardware jam, captures the nostalgic, distant echo, throb & hissing emissions of a peak 90's warehouse rave. segueing into Geiom's 'Coop Coupe', with its grand sweeping strings, stepping bass tones & micro textured tempos holds a kind of stasis between ascending & descending dynamics. Jake Mehew's 'Dystopia', modulates his synthesis systems in an emotional summation of times lived in uncertainty, enveloping & cascading - seeking a wayforward, up & out.

closing out the sequence, a sense of foreboding is cast aside toward the welcoming, uplifting relief of billy2chips 'herbie' like jazzisms & infectious polymorphous riddim wig outs. coming down & closing out proceedings, Thirdspace's yearning but warm padded, indigo mode opens out and ends this first polytypic sequence in an epic stately manner.

polytypic one is available both as the continuous mix polytypic sequence one and as a collection of stand alone pieces.
