Starting Teeth is a collaboration between the child's brain of French producer Childe Grangier and Canadian (now Berlin relocated) Nathan Jonson respectively known as Hopen and Hrdvsion.
Hopen, the Atlantic part of, previously released countless projects and collaborations on various labels and net-labels including Everest records, Plak, Mental Groove, Arbouse…On the Pacific side, Hrdvsion has released killers EP on Wagon Repair, ItIsWhatItIs and Plak, and remixed the likes Dominik Eulberg, Milanese, Kotchy and Hot Hot Heat to name a few.
To not do what they can do, Childe Grangier and Nathan Jonson decided to join their forces to create a recess of development for the next Century Haunted Dancefloor Twisted Legs Fighters! So early 2008 the twosome packed all of it’s crazy glitch-hop, micro-house, experimental, haunted ambient energy into their debut album “I Won’t Do Anything I Can Do”, injecting tons of loops and samples. It was soon followed by “I Continue In The Nude” EP that features some tracks off the album.
Starting Teeth has started their debut live-acts during the last November, across England and Switzerland, performing with the like of Nathan Fake, Petter (Border Community), Creaked's Mochipet, Larytta and Julien Aubert, Dj Assault, Tim Exile, Venetian Snares, Someone Else....and they also got remixed by Scuba, Vincent Oliver, Dave Aju, Tanz/Tanz, Chief and had collaborated with international artists such as K.Flay, Philippe Petit, Danuel Tate, Pinto, Larytta and Oliver Mental Groove.
Childe and Nathan upcoming EP “The Way Of The Intercepting Fist” draws upon their unique beatscape universe. With K.Flay the bad-ass rap queen from Oakland, they deliver a fine underground-hit 'Weapons'. And it seems that Hrdvsion couldn’t keep his hands off it, yielding a characteristically powerful remix of the already classic tune. Also included on, exclusives remix off Starting Teeth's album and a new track 'Venom', which a video clip has been made by travis siegfried.This new EP will freshen up your ears!
"Solid release all around here. Particulary enjoying all of the remixes. Will play the Dave Aju the most, but LOVING the Hrdvsion remix the most" Derek Plaslaiko (Spectral)
"OH Yeah, c'est sale ce morceau!" Crowdpleaser (Drumpoet, Wagon Repair, Mental Groove)
"I love records that can effortlessly mix styles and tempos but still come off as cohesive. Not an easy feat in today's cookie cutter world..." Sutekh (Context.fm)
"Starting Teeth réunit sous une appelation anatomique peu commune, qui trahit le caractère non formel de l'album, l'élite Suisse et l'avant-gardisme canadien du minimalisme groovy" Gustav (Switzerland)
"Not since David Byrne and Brian Eno sat shoulder-to-shoulder in the studio over 25 years ago for My Life in the Bush of Ghosts have two minds captured the art of tape sampling so effectively as electronic producers Childe Grangier and Nathan Jonson of Starting Teeth do here." XLR8R (US)
"‘Next Century Haunted Dancefloor’ they say, correctly. An exorcist would not know where to start." Plan B (UK)
"Après une poignée de maxis, un premier album en forme d’ovni qui devrait en convertir plus d’un à l’univers futuriste et intrigant de Starting Teeth." Trax (FR)
"Taking cues from Autechre, Raymond Scott and Mouse on Mars, they gleefully deconstruct pop and dance music conventions into throbbing, shuddering grooves." The Wire (UK)
"Starting Teeth […] is weird, spaced-out, melodic and ultimately dancefloor-ready techno." XLR8R (US)
"Ces deux-là prennent un malin plaisir à déstabiliser nos oreilles à l’aide de sons diffractés et de rythmes en équilibre sur un fil bien tendu. […] On ne peut que conseiller." Trax (FR)
