We Collect Enemies update: DJ Wool & Broad Bean Band
We Collect Enemies – the label headed by ex-Mode-man-extraordinaire Daryl Bamonte – sent over an update on a few of their other acts… namely DJ Wool and Broad Bean Band.
DJ WOOL – THE DARK SNUGGLER (cat.#ENEMY003)
Hot on the heels of the Das Shadow and Broad Bean Band releases, the new true-blue MONOlith label/collective known as We Collect Enemies hits you across the back with another banger by a brother under another name.
DJ Wool (AKA one 3rd of the originators of the WCE clique) has been on a tear for the last year with non-stop remixes, singles and new material for his group The Glass. Here he is with yet another feather in his cap, this time under the ID known as The Dark Snuggler!
Described as a “techy and breaky club banger” with hints of Detroit and bass, he’s aiming this inaugural release at a bullseye on a target that exists in a place between fidget house, techno and dare we say, old school hip-hop? Whatever it gets described as, it bumps and clouds the dance floor like a smoke machine on auto.
With remixes by Lars Moston (Moston & Malente), Boeoes Kaelstigen (Adrian Recordings, Sweden) and Jetlag (collab. between The Smiths’ bassist Andy Rourke, yes THE Smiths and Russian/NYC DJ Ole), the release promises to pack lots of pop for the price coming from your pocket. A definite natural disaster in these days of earhquakes, oil leaks and volcano eruptions courtesy of the kind people over at We Collect Enemies. The ‘Detroit’ inspired video is on YouTube now…
‘The Dark Snuggler’ will be released exclusively on Beatport on 28th June 2010 and other download sites from 12th July.
BROAD BEAN BAND
Broad Bean Band was created on an organic farm in West Cork, Ireland. Stemming from a fascination for vintage analog synthesis, gameboys and biodynamic vegetable growth.
This lunar musical project finally came together after a 6 month stint in Berlin. The biological process involved is a mish-mash of cosy technology and a true love of melody.
‘OkiDoki’ is Broad Bean Band’s first release on We Collect Enemies and our favorite farmers take us through an old school arcade via their quest for multi-player game cheats. The video witnesses Broad Bean Band in action battling themselves for control of the vegetable patch and dodging flying shovels.
Bringing things straight to the dancefloor, long time leaders of Irish House music, Fish Go Deep, turn in a vocal and a dub mix that’s sure to warm things up on a rainy day at any farm.
Los Angeles expat Subtitle is the co-founder of Hip Hop crew Briefcase Rockers and gained crazy attention last year with his featured rap on DJ Wool’s ‘Strobelight’. His remix of ‘OkiDoki’ lands somewhere between Portishead and Pink Floyd driving Broad Bean Band to the undergrowth of deep new millenium Trip Hop.
‘OkiDoki’ will be released exclusively on We Collect Enemies through Beatport on 17th May 2010 and iTunes et al 31st May.
