Dorian Concept, Joined Ends Posted: 19 Oct 2014 11:00 PM PDT A collection of vertiginous breakbeats that alternate between cheerfully futuristic and menacingly dystopian Austria’s Dorian Concept, aka Oliver Thomas Johnson, first caught attention via YouTube clips that depicted him manipulating synth textures in real time on a Micro Korg (he received more than a million views). His nimble knob-tweaking was fun to watch, but even more fun were the sounds it produced: Johnson’s music was squirrely, vivid and rich, shining hip-hop and techno through a fisheye lens with cracks in it. His beats juggled his improvised synths like a hacky sack, and part of the thrill was seeing how long he could keep it up. That thrill is largely missing from his sophomore album and Ninja Tune debut, Joined Ends, which is enjoyable if not exactly exhilarating downtempo in the style of Bonobo or Nosaj Thing. On Joined Ends, Johnson ditches his Micro Korg for new instruments, and takes more time with the record than he had with previous releases. The result is sturdy and safe, a collection of vertiginous breakbeats that alternate between cheerfully futuristic and menacingly dystopian — The Jetsons one minute, Blade Runner the next. “Draft Culture” is the latter, its sputtering groove and blaring synths evoking road rage in an age of hover-cars, whereas songs like “Clap Track 4″ and “Nest Nest” are brighter and more pastoral, with voices gently singing over beds of chimes and strings. The tracks get you moving, but they’re not as interesting as earlier compositions such as “Trilingual Dance Sexperience” (which lives up to its name). This is a record for head bobbing, not head scratching.

What began as a 'hobby' label run by Hospital Records boss Chris Goss and his late brother Simon, has grown into a full time job for label directors Dom Servini and Adam Scrimshire, ably assisted by young buck Neil Bopperson. Wah Wah 45s now has over a dozen artists on its books, and many of them are featured on this exhaustive compilation, charting fifteen years of this fiercely independent soulful record label, and as you would expect, a soulful strand runs through it, from the brassy funk and jazz of Hackney Colliery Band (with their hand-to-find first single Money), Colman Brothers (On a Better Day) and The Gene Dudley Group (the summertime smasher Minnie) to the sonorous dubwise sounds of Resonators (with the classic Sweet Love Affair) via Paper Tiger and Lea Lea's more electronic edge, and Scrimshire, Stac and Bev Lee Harling's lush, organic leanings. And that's without mentioning a little Kompa Funk from our Haitian born Canadian pianist Henri-Pierre Noel demonstrating his vocal prowess, as well as his awesome piano skills on Merci Bon Dieu. Elsewhere we go way back in time with some blue-eyed soul from Talc, Max Cole, Jamie Finlay, Part-Time Heroes and Ashley Thomas, and a few dollops of deepness from Alison Crockett (the glorious Like Rain), Maze Hill and Unforscene featuring the now world famous Alice Russell. There's a little folky flavour (something we've always had a penchant for) from Speeka, Rosie Brown (remixed here by Quantic) and Sesong, plus some early dance floor offerings from Easylifenatural and Luna & Bazis on the electronic tip, and Kendra Lou & The Miracles, Hardkandy and Gizelle Smith & The Mighty Mocambos holding things down in the funk corner. 13 Henri-Pierre Noel - Merci Bon Dieu (Vocal Version) [Wah Wah 45s] Download: http://ks.kud.li/wahdig49 Subscribe: http://sb.kud.li/wahwah45s Official stream from Wah Wah 45s.
