I Don¹t Either is the debut album by Cologne's ultrafunk protegé
Oliver Braun. Composed of compulsive, playful electronica and
skeletal house music - and influenced as much by P-Funk and the
clipped R&B of Timbaland as it is by the fractured Cologne sound -
this is the real future funk.
Where much recent electronica relies on swathes of effects to
bedazzle the listener, Beige¹s power lies in the way he strips the
music down to a radically funky minimum. Initially alien to the ear,
Beige takes the over-familiar elements of house music - the
basslines, the vocal snatches - and puts them back together in a way
you¹ve never heard before. The album doesn¹t give up its charms
right away, but as you filter through the dense layers of ideas, a
strange sense of melancholy becomes apparent: it¹s fun (sometimes
funny), but with emotional intent.
The unassuming Braun was first brought to the label¹s attention by
Stefan Betke (aka Pole), which was a pretty strong recommendation in
itself. A couple of early tracks appeared on Caipirinha¹s superb
Deutsche Funk collection (curated by Bernd Friedmann), and the two
tracks on last year¹s Osmosis compilation created a real stir. I Don
¹t Either will be followed in May by the already legendary 'The
Rhythm? The Message!' as a 12", with another single to come. Beige
has also contributed a track to the next installment of the
Invisible Soundtracks series.
The artwork for I Don't Either has already been selected for
inclusion Intro's forthcoming book of radical sleeve design, Sampler
2.
