RFI: Border Community - Nathan Fake, James Holden, The MFA, Petter etc.

Just came across the label's rather nice website after finally getting hold of a copy of Nathan Fake's 'The Sky Was Pink'.

Didn't realise it was also the home of the MFA. I've heard of Petter too in some context, but I can't think what. I like the look of this label. Can anyone recommend any of their other releases?

I see they are having some night at The Honeycomb, Edinburgh this Friday - is anyone going?

Nathan Fake - "The Sky Was Pink (James Holden Remix)" is one of my favorite dance singles of the year

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 18:39 (8 years ago) Permalink

yeah its one of two tracks this year that arent really tracks but more like instant conditions on the dancefloor. if that makes any sense.

James Holden's "A Break In The Clouds" (first release on Border Comm.) is beautiful...all the mixes have something of value. Highly recommended!

Unless my memory deceives me (and it might) both mixes of 'The Sky Was Pink' were played at the Black Rabbit Whorehouse last weekend. And it was sublime, really.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 01:01 (8 years ago) Permalink

"Do you need help" remixed by The MFA is equally astounding that "The difference it makes". Very promising label indeed.

I love what the website says about the stuff on this label as a kind of mission statement: "border music is about dance music that doesn't fit in a category, and about providing DJs with the tools to innovate."

And they mean this so literally! I mean, one of the most intriguing things about the Border Community 12"s is the inclusion of all these odd ambient or noise snippets (which usually remind me of My Bloody Valentine's "Touched" or something) as, literally, DJ tools!

It strikes me as something very unique and cool that there's this nominally prog house label who sound more like a weird interzone between M83, Superpitcher and Boards of Canada, and yet who are totally devoted to dance music as a fundamentally anti-artist, pro-DJ genre. It's sort of like some ultimate end point away from the middle-brow of "album dance" - not "nightclubbing at home" so much as "blissed out at the club".

That whole conceptual side wouldn't work so well if the music wasn't so consistently ace, but I think I've at least heard all the releases now and I've loved them all.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 21:28 (8 years ago) Permalink

Do you like the Petter thing, Tim? I can't get into it, not the same way as the Nathan Fake or Dextro anyway. I downloaded a James Holden mix out of curiosity.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 21:43 (8 years ago) Permalink

god bless them. i wish more labels would provide dj tools rather than instrumental versions or acapellas. i've practicall worn out the 'holden tool' on the nathan fake 12".

Isn't there already a Swedish musician named Petter?

― i am nervous (cochere), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 23:48 (8 years ago) Permalink

Well I only listened to the Petter thing instore (can't possibly afford to buy all of these as per, I picked up Dextro instead) and I think i really liked two tracks at least - the ones that were most conventionally wide-eyed Border Community Fare. I suppose 2 out of 6 ain't an amazing hit rate but aren't two of them practically dj tools anyway?

i used to post on the DCN message board with Petter back in the day before he blew up. he featured heavily on Sasha's last mix for GU and is really getting the royal treatment from many DJs. which is awesome because not only is his music fantastic, but he's a really nice guy too

and yeah this label is about the ONLY thing i'm liking in prog house these days. so nice and refreshing on so many levels

The Petter track on the new Crosstown Rebels mix is awesome - it's like a clicky update of "No Fate" or one of those other dark-but-emotional early Harthouse/Eye Q tracks.

very interesting, btw, that midi miliz (sp?) is involved - i heard some of their stuff once and was shocked that it got classed as psytrance, seeing how closely it fell to the stuff i like. one of those "i'm a closed-minded git!" moments.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Monday, 2 May 2005 22:10 (8 years ago) Permalink

Didn't catch this earlier, but this is great news! It was only a matter of time before the dark, minimalist techno end of psytrance connected to the "mainstream". I've been a huge fan of Raabe and Schaffhausen (Spirallianz, Midi Miliz and especially The Delta) for years.

Anyone got the MFA-Live At Exposure 2004.

I'm not sure if it's an actual live set or them DJing, it sounds very pristine for a live set though all the tracks do sound like MFA productions and pristine is sort of their style I guess.

Needless to say it is great, like completely electronic deep house or something, with a good quick tempo, which gives it that really clubby deep house feel, a bit like "Mushrooms" by Marshall Jefferson but alot more of an electronics only feel to it.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 13 May 2005 08:16 (8 years ago) Permalink

Seriously everyone has to hear that Petter track. Just buy Crosstown Rebels Vol 2, it's an excellent mix.

The Crosstown Rebels Mix is ace - a neat summation of almost all the great ideas floating around, and there's a special Pier Bucci mix of Andre Kraml's "Safari" (not the same as his remix on the proper Safari remix 12") which is fabulosly spacey.

Heard the Extrawelt release today, and although it's excellent, it's not at all what I expected - this is not the pitch-black minimal/psytrance crossover I imagined, which is a shame - psytrance has so many interesting sounds that I think would work very well within the current minimalist electro/techno structures. Somebody will do it sooner or later...

^ definitely, was just gonna mention that.

Dextro, Do You Need Help (Holden Noise Tool) is an excellent, 3 minute, beatless example of the fractured, filtered, howling drone.

Really you should just get any James Holden remix you can, but my fave, aside from the obvious Nathan Fake, is the Britney Spears Breathe on Me (James Holden Dub) - what he does with her voice is delicously creepy, it's almost like stalking with a sampler.

Wow, so much... this is KILLING my bandwidth, but I'm glad to have these all bookmarked in one place to come back and listen to.

That Shinjuku track is REALLY DOING IT FOR ME.

So that's where that rubbish Simian Mobile Disco track recently ripped its drums off from. That GUNG GUNG GOOP GOOP GOOP noise in the bass range, mirrored by the squelchy noise. Oh yes.

I've had Steve Reich records out this weekend (I swear to god, Linstrom samples Music For 18 Musicians on Where You Go) but this is even more... lushly relentless.

(can't see youtubes at work so sorry if this is all redundant)

mnml/drone(rock) crossover: beatless, I think, but how IMMENSE is the whooshiness of Motiivi: Tuntematon's "Mankind Failed", b-side of Speicher 46? (One third of MT used to be in some 90s organ-based garage rockers, which is... maybe a link of some kind)

Can't work out if the Pop Ambient series are a good next step, or exactly the wrong direction. Probably the latter if we're avoiding "florid".

Yr actual James Holden catalogue likely to be a little disappointing on this front, I reckon; the album is patchy, and before '05ish he's not really going for this sound at all. "At the Controls" is a fun enough mix though - and has a short burst of "Watusi" by Harmonia on - and Holden's remix of Nathan Fake's "Sky Was Pink" is pretty essential but I imagine there are already several youtube embeds of it here.

For bonus Kate points, James Holden is also a former mathematician - well, he studied it at uni, which seems to be the same thing to the music press at least - with quite a distinctive nose. (For bonus me points, dude also used to use the slightly obscure music software I used, and even wrote a little tempo-to-LFO-freq gadget for it)

HEY, I SAID NOTHING!!!!

This is the kind of shit that gets me in trouble and gets me hated on ILM.

I didn't actually notice what he looked like - apart from the fact that he looked so much like my mate I that I couldn't actually tell them apart when they went off to have a smoke. And I is totally a DDB, so, erm, yeah. Never mind.

his earlier "balance" mix is the only trance i listened to.

― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 23 March 2009 16:27 (4 years ago) Permalink

I bought the mix and liked it, but never really gave it too many listens,

Then a couple of years ago, I got turned on to Harmonia and was lucky enough to see them live.

last week I pulled out the at the controls mix to listen to when going for an early morning run and almost freaked when the Watussi part kicked in whilst the sun suddenly came out.

I had to go back and check it was actually there, really into this mix again, but can take or leave the other less pastoral stuff.

some shitty holden tracks i really like:

You can totally tell that he's a mathematician, from the way that he approaches music. I don't know how, but, erm, I think you can.
he said in an interview that his early stuff was made exclusively using trackers; a sure sign of some math/cs mentality

― QE II, Monday, 11 May 2009 18:34 (4 years ago) Permalink

one thing that was refreshing about holden's mediocre album was its length, under 50 minutes. i do want to check out the somfay album but just thinking about the length of it (2 discs) exhausts me. one disc is "ambient" or whatever though, right? i still haven't gotten around to that 2cd minilogue album but maybe it's not worth it?

also, kinda bummed that it seems BC abandoned the "coloring contest" thing for their sleeve art

― QE II, Monday, 11 May 2009 18:49 (4 years ago) Permalink

Ignore anything you read about disc one being ambient and disc two being techno, it's flat out untrue. There isn't really any straight up techno on it, the whole album is an exploration of sonic textures and soundscapes, some have repetitive 4/4 percussion, others don't (and no dancefloor material proper, really).

So, I still agree with this...for the CD VERSION. DO NOT EVER BUY THE VINYL VERSION. It just came in the mail, and I am so, so SO disappointed. I knew it only had some of the tracks (it's a 2XLP, but even then it's length doesn't approach the CD version), but what I didn't realize is that most of the vinyl tracks are different mixes, and for some reason he decided to use mixes that are way worse and totally ruin everything. I'm just flabbergasted.

― Z S, Thursday, 28 October 2010 00:53 (2 years ago) Permalink

The Apparat one is coming in the mail, and if he ruined his tracks in a similar way (compared to the digital release I heard) I am going to shit my pants in the bad way

Is there a reason to even get the vinyl versions? Seems like they'd be decent unmixed, but a mixed 12" just sounds weird. Wouldn't flipping the record kind of kill it?
