More about our guests:
JAN JELINEK + KOSMISCHER PITCH BAND
http://www.scape-music.de/
Jan Jelinek is a Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist. Along with creating
music under the Farben and Gramm pseudonyms, Jelinek creates shimmering
compositions under his given name. According to Popmatters.com, his most
recent release, 2005?s Kosmischer Pitch (tranlates as ?Cosmic Pitch?), ?is
not the usual minimal, chin-stroking fare. In fact, it's downright lush,
layering processed samples, abstract ambience, unobtrusive beats, and the
requisite glitchy noises. Tracks start small, and gradually bloom into
colorful, complex settings.? Jelinek?s current musical focus centers
primarily upon collaboration; his first Chicago appearance in more than a
year will find him performing with guests, Kosmischer Pitch Band.
PRESS:
?Again Jelinek has assembled an album designed to work as a whole, with a
consistent palette and tracks that bleed one into the next. Not a single
track on Kosmischer Pitch would sound correct placed on any another Jelinek
album, which, at a time when so many great electronic producers seem to have
become prisoners to their own sound, is a surpassing virtue. Down deep
Jelinek has base aesthetic principals to guide him, but he's clearly
unafraid of change. Let's hope future explorations lead somewhere this
engaging.? Album rating: 8.0
-PITCHFORKMEDIA.com
?Jelinek?s career has been marked by excellence no matter which moniker he
adopts. He hasn?t received the glowing critical acclaim or robust sales
figures of other musicians to whom he?s either equal or superior. I hope to
remedy this injustice. My favorite album of 2005.?
-David Segal, THE SEATTLE STRANGER

ELIOT LIPP
http://www.eliotlipp.net
http://www.heftyrecords.com
http://www.myspace.com/eliotlipp
Named ?beatsmith of the year? by RE:UP Magazine and touted by XLR8R as ?one
of the few producers who can write keyboard lines with hooks as huge as any
sample,? Eliot Lipp has had a busy year. His sophomore full-length, Tacoma
Mockingbird, has been championed by the likes of Pitchfork Media, RE:UP,
Remix and URB magazines. Released earlier this year, and described by
Resonance Magazine as ?the record the Warp crowd was never sincere enough to
make,? Tacoma Mockingbird is a masterful take on instrumental hip-hop. The
remainder of 2006 will find Eliot Lipp releasing a new EP, and touring
throughout Europe and North America. Highlights of Summer touring will
consist of festival appearances at Mutek Fest (Montreal, Canada), Sonar Fest
(Spain), Elettrowave/Arezzo Wave Fest (Italy), Shitkatapult?s Shitparade
Fest (Germany), Knockout Fest (Switzerland).
PRESS:
?Parse it as G-funk gone Eurocrunk, an instrumental rap version of M83, the
heir apparent to Ratatat's squishy arena-rock-hop, what have you?Eliot
Lipp?s "Rap Tight" is a cool wave rolling down the Sunset Strip; just as it
starts to rock out in earnest, it glitches and stutters into the toxic
sunset. GZA once bragged that the Wu Tang Clan was strictly bass on
keyboards; Lipp's strictly breaks and synths, and turns the simple formula
to similar advantage.?
-PITCHFORKMEDIA.com
?Lipp has taken downbeat & hip-hop breaks, and coupled them with leads from
his Sequential Circuits and Korg MS-20 synths?besides being a dope album,
this is simply an inspirational record for all producers striving to get
more life out of their sounds. An immensely pleasurable listen.?
-RE:UP Magazine

SIGNALDRIFT
http://www.consumerslabel.net
http://www.myspace.com/signaldrift
Milwaukee resident Franz Buchholt, better known as Signaldrift, records
cinematic ambient sounds that are highly danceable. Getting his start as
half of the duo Pargo, Buchholt has gone on to release several projects on
such esteemed electronic labels as Audraglint and Wobblyhead. Drawing
inspiration from such auteurs as Cocteau Twins, Kraftwerk and Slowdive,
Signaldrift creates pastoralbeats that are simultaneously highly danceable
in their own right. Textura.org described his most recent effort, Set
Design, as ?meditative, hazy? and full of ?dreamy character.? This will be
the first Chicago performance from Signaldrift in almost a year.
