In Focus: Errorsmith dissects ‘Superlative Fatigue’

Following the release of his album on PAN, we met up with Errorsmith in Neukölln for a face-to-face interview and photo shoot, as we looked to find out more about the making of his stunning album Superlative Fatigue.

Music Video: Maledetti – Essere

Combining EBM with Nineties club culture’s tonalities, Maledetti is the joint effort of Riccardo Schirò and Red Bull Music Accademy’s attendee Lamusa II. After collaborating within Gravity Graffiti earlier this year, the two young artists recently announced the coming release of their debut EP ‘Ritmi’, a banging five-tracker including a remix from Going Good and JINN affiliate Yoshinori Hayashi, due out late November through Riccardo’s imprint.

Bibio: Phantom Brickworks

Recently prone to immaculately produced ’80s smooth jams (The Serious EP) we must admit that it’s with a touch of trepidation that we fire up “Phantom Brickworks”, Bibio’s latest long player on Warp Records. However, true to form, Wilkinson surprises with an about turn focus on deeply pensive and emotive ambience.

Errorsmith: Superlative Fatigue

Electronic pioneers Kraftwerk and Jeff Mills both made electronic music which was completely detached from the scenes around them. Their sounds strove towards the future, but were also firmly connected to ideals of popular music – of melody and dancing. With Superlative Fatigue, Errorsmith has joined this tradition, producing a record of hi-tech ravers which transcends its surroundings.

Emra Grid: Shay’s Vacation House

Shay’s Vacation House isn’t always a pleasant stay, yet there is something compelling about it, like tonguing an ulcer to feel the rush of pain and withdrawing only to feel the throb beckoning you back for another prod.

1800HaightStreet: Endless

Hype itself is a devious beast, which can toy with perception, especially with regards to helping you internally over-selling, say, a sprawling eight vinyl monster as a landmark as you succumb to its fever. With that in mind, coming into ‘Endless’ blind was a delightful experience, both through an unexpected surprise and also knowing that all appreciation was untainted.

DJJ: Yn Y Ty

Fusing strains of batucada and African polyrhythms with tape-saturated Chi-town grooves and deep smokey ambiences, DJJ offers up an all-embracing audio cocktail that doesn’t quite choose between muscular swing and laid-back lounging, intensity and magnitude; feeding the furnace with an equitably balanced mix of pace and focus to ravish all on the dancefloor.
