Emergence Thirteen out now!
"For their thirteenth foray into the darker realms of techno, Emergence have
invited four of their most respected producers from around the world to remix
Luka Baumann's popular Emergence Nine release.
Representing Japan is Go Hiyama, a seasoned producer with well-respected releases on Audio Assault, Warm Up, Zwart and others.
For Spain we have Oscar Mulero , who surely needs no
introduction.simply one of the biggest names in techno.
From Sweden we have label owner Grovskopa, and finally, showing out for the UK is Makaton, whose Rodz-Konez label has consistently featured in the charts of such luminaries as Dave Clarke, Jeff Mills, Surgeon etc.
Not much more needs to be said, the
obvious results of such a high quality and cosmopolitan selection of remixers
are a stunning quartet of tracks that suit the Emergence vibe perfectly.
Dark, dense, and most definitely NOT minimal!"
Biography
Despite growing up in a country consumed by war, Luka has always been consumed by music. When he was a kid he joined music school, which eventually turned out to be a disappointment – during the year he spent there not once did he touch a musical instrument. Soon after, he discovered that a computer might be a useful tool for experimenting with sound and so began to learn technical aspects of music production. High-school period played a vital role in young Luka's musical education, as he discovered what was later to become his biggest inspirations: Steve Reich, Autechre, Surgeon and Coil. That was also the time of huge fascination over John Cage's theoretical works and Italian futurism, from which he drew influences on how music could be created. Luka’s works are often created by capturing rhythmical patterns from environment and implementing them to his music:
"I venture out and record certain rhythms or patterns to be found in our environment, taking them to my studio to work around them. I always try to leave these recordings as unprocessed as possible. This is like taking bits and pieces from my reality and use them to build musical structures."
Luka is interested in the primal aspect of human kind: elements buried deeply below the surface of culture, which take the lead role in various aspects of human behaviour. Therefore, he sees techno as a way of making direct contact with that primal substance. His music deeply reflects this attitude: it's raw, fierce and impetuous, yet always leaving an open space for listener's interpretation. Originating somewhere between Birmingham techno and industrial (Coil, Nurse With Wound, Boyd Rice et al), Luka also draws influences from a vast pool of eclectic music. Variety works perfectly for Mr Baumann, who always transmits his message clearly and leaves no listener indifferent.
2004 was a breakthrough year, as Luka's works saw the daylight for the very first time with his first EP, 'Poslije' on his own label, PSNZ. Shortly after, more releases followed on labels such as Mainout, Infecta, Arms and - of course - Emergence. Collaboration with Grovskopa was as much unexpected as it was unavoidable; thus Brethren/Los Jovenes was created (with their first releases on shortly-lived Hispania Records and Emergence sister label - Pohjola). Both Luka's and Mika's vinyl releases focus mostly on harder edge of techno, so a digital platform with more experimental edge was created - Emergence sublabel IOUMP3. Five digital releases have been issued since, with music varying from warm ambient sound-scapes to industrial drones. by Essence
