Band MembersBryan Hollon aka boom bip on album. Live is Jeff Byron of the Mae-Shi and Marty Sataman.
Influences
Mostly the sounds of my childhood: Early on it was Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Prince, Whodini, New Edition, Michael Jackson, Living Colour, Herbie Hancock, Egyptian Lover, Midnight Star, Ohio Players, Funkadelic, Average White Band, Wham, Madonna and whatever electro young midwest white kids were break dancing to.

My older sisters introduced me to lots of Metal Bands like White Lion, Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, Testament, Motley Crue, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Cinderella, Joe Satriani, Bon Jovi, Ozzie Osbourne, etc.

Later it was Kraftwerk, Cal Tjader, Cluster, Can, Roberto Cacciapaglia, Brian Eno, Paul's Boutique by the Dust Brothers, Steve Reich, Sonic Youth, Bad Brains, Jane's Addiction, The Who, Pink Floyd, My Bloody Valentine, Unwound, Dino Jr., Smashing Pumpkins, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Milton Jackson, etc. a lot of "rare grooves" and still lots of Prince in this era.

Now the influences have tapered off. It is like going to school until 12th grade and then being thrown to the lions. Your skills are learned and those certain techniques you have acquired just stick to you and you never forget them. Others things get piled up on top of those initial sounds to refine your instinct but for the most part the foundation has been laid and your on your own. So now i just do what i do and listen to what goes by . . . and man it is moving fast.

   About boom bip







BOOM BIP (aka. Bryan Hollon) debut solo album, Seed To Sun catapulted him from Cincinnatis hip hop underground to the lofty realms of the international indie cognoscenti, including John Peel heralding Boom Bip as a "modern day Captain Beefheart" after his first Peel Session.

Combining a palette of laptops, hip-hop and rock, Boom Bip went one further and turned Seed To Sun into a four piece live band, performing at Glastonbury, Dedbeat Festival, London's Ether Festival, and the Pompidou Centre in Paris to name a few. Boom Bip was also invited back to record a second Peel Session included on his 2004 album Corymb. including a string of extraordinary remixes by his contemporaries including Boards of Canada, Mogwai and Four Tet.

Meanwhile, Boom Bip upped stakes and moved to Silverlake in LA to start work on Blue Eyed in the Red Room. Cue rolling hills, flowers in bloom, views of Silverlake, beautiful sunsets every night and hummingbirds outside his studio window:

"This album was started on a clean slate, in a new place, with new inspiration,"

"You can hear that in the songs, the fear, excitement, loneliness and comfort that I've felt for the past year. With Seed To Sun I was in rut and a lot of dreaming and sadness were expressed in that album."
At the same time, Blue Eyed in the Red Room found Boom Bip returned to his musical roots. He played every instrument on the album himself- which is not to say he has moved away from the ultra-finesse of his unique production style - the textures, sonic details and intricacies, tones, melodies and hypnotic reveries are all still to be found.

"I wanted the listener to get a sense of what is going on inside my head and my environment as much as possible," he explains. "Samples are a detour from that connection. Samples express what you like, but it's someone else's idea and product. To really connect with the listener it was essential that I play everything. While making the record I had the live show in mind the entire time. The new songs are 98% live instrumentation and have energy, structure, chord changes and dynamics. Not loop-based or beat-based like tracks in the past."

Although drums were Boom Bip's first instrument, it was the guitar that turned him into a songwriter. "Even though I've tinkered with guitar and used it in songs over the years, I never fully committed to it like I did with this record," he admits. "In times of beauty and peace I can lay down delicate acoustic parts and in times of excitement or anger I can thrash an electric."

Saccherlige is both a departure and development of his musical style. Where his debut left him branded him an electronic hip hop producer and Blue Eyed, a lush, organic instrumentalist, his new EP finds him moving wholely into computer generated sounds, danceable beats and melodic electronics in which he develops some of the harder, faster electro themes that have appeared throughout his previous albums.

Punchy beats and lush melodies that are trademarks of Bip's sound remain steadfast, however the influences of Giorgio Moroder and perhaps even 80s Italo prog-soundtrackers such as Goblin creep into the uptempo synth lines and there's more than a hint of grimey percussive baseline to guarantee dancefloor action. These are 5 tracks of the highest calibre and we can't wait until release date.

This EP is a link with his past work which has often included beat-driven club friendly electronics (The Move from Blue Eyed in the Red Room being a prime example) but also harks towards the sound of his next major project, Neon Neon with Gruff Rhys in which vintage / futuristic styles merge to perfection.

Monkee Platez next offering is the OUT NOW
'Fulltilt EP' from Glasgow outfit Mr Hajika.

4 slabs of groove driven tech house...

Fulltilt original is a chugging, bass heavy track with a subtle musicality that develops throughout.
Dr. Bergers remix is a stripped down deeper edit, with an infectious flow that maintains the essence of the original.
Similarly to Dr. Berger, Alex Fiction strips back the layers to uncover an electronic soul which builds into an intelligently emotive interpretation, if slightly twisted.
Completing the package is 'Nitemoves' which shares the big sound of Fulltilt, but with a more progressive, melodic vibe."

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our fourth LP release...

LEILA ADU has been described as 'A Nina Simone for the Noughties', and her two acclaimed albums infuse a broadly 'art-rock' approach with elements of torch song, speakeasy blues, avant garde jazz, gamelan, post-rock textures, and a David Lynch style dreamlike b-movie melodrama. As her website has it, exploring the "dissonant edges of familiar forms", but with that kind of 'dissonance' that they once accused Thelonious Monk or Debussy of, the kind that soon betrays it's own compelling melodic and harmonic logic to the attentive listener...

'Dark Joan', Leila's third album as a solo artist, was recorded in Chicago with the legendary Steve Albini (PJ Harvey, Joanna Newsome, Nirvana, Pixies), and Albini's genius has been to strip her sound back to it's essence, and hold it's most distinctive qualities up to the light. It doesn't hurt that this is by far Leila's most powerful set of songs to date, and if anything we are lead even deeper into her world by the pictures painted with just piano (or in some cases harpsichord or a grime-encrusted electric piano) and that voice...

Capable of anything from delicate heartbreaking purity to a fearsome dramatic power, her powers are seemingly limitless, yet unlike most other singers of her calibre, never does she resort to melodrama or show-boating, or any kind of pastiche, instead she employs her resources fully in the expression of her distinctive musical vision and the deep well-spring of her imagination. Nothing ever sounds as though it could have not been sung...
