JANEK SCHAEFFER - OUT (CD by Kraak) Ah the DJ culture... to be frank,
I have not much with DJs. To bring entertainment to a crowd of people
on a night, is perfectly legitimate. But those who present a CD with
some
vinyl played together with their own name bigger then the rest, I don't
understand. Janek Schaeffer might be a DJ, but one who takes things a
step further (and that in itself is a good thing!). With his turntable
with
three arms he plays records, but I don't seem to recognize a lot of it
(of
course my knowledge of records might not be that good). Two long
tracks, both live (although one is an edit of two performances) of
slowly
developing music. He plays very abstract stuff, rather then techno or
plunderphonica. Almost ambient like material with slow curves, with
quite
some tension underneath that totally captured me. Rather then a DJ to a
crowd, Schaeffer is a DJ for the mind, and without attending the
concerts were this was recorded, I can say: it works excellent at home.
