Deeper and more melodic than previous installments, Subvert HQ Podcast Episode 75 features minimalist compositions cavorting with muscled baselines. The mood maybe one of milky wistfulness, but this is electronic listening music at its best. We hope you like it as much as we do.

BMT024: Blu Mar Ten - Famous Lost Words Remixes: Part 1

Following 2013’s Famous Lost Words album, Blu Mar Ten presents the first in a three-part series of remixes of LP tracks from some of the finest talent in Drum & Bass. Part 1 features reworkings from Frederic Robinson and Break. Break It All Apart (Break remix) Underpinning Agne Genyte’s original’s vocals with a new atmosphere of 70s-esque rhodes and strings, Break launches the track from a gentle, expansive opening into a hammering percussive workout. With support from a massive number of DJs including Friction & London Elektricity and a feature spot on Teebee & Calyx’s new FabricLive CD Break It All Apart is a must-have for every DJ this summer. Somewhere (Frederic Robinson remix) Taking the relatively conventional structure of the original and throwing it all out of the window, Frederic Robinson constructs a symphonic half-time matrix of strings, bells and vocals in its place. Sublime keyboard work overlays Frederic’s trademark jazzy percussion while horns ooze their way into heavily side-chained synths and bass.

Frederic Robinson - Live Signals

Frederic Robinson - Live Signals - album preview (forthcoming on BMTM) by Blu Mar Ten

In 2013 Frederic Robinson released his stunningly unique Mixed Signals album to universal praise from audience and industry alike. At the same time, Frederic was also building up his equally unique live performance. The results of that live performance, captured in this new release available HERE, eschews the usual 2-CDJs-and-a-mixer routine for something completely mesmerising.

Here, he creates a completely new live experience using a bizarre array of instruments spanning the antique, the modern and the homemade. Rather than relying on vast amounts of playback, Frederic builds the tracks from scratch during each performance introducing large elements of improvisation and risk to the music and offering his audience a unique show each and every time. Using a mixture of drumming, modified Wii controllers, wired-up kalimbas, his trusty violin and his own voice, Frederic takes the listener on a journey though adaptations of tracks from Mixed Signals, some new material exclusive to his live work and reinterpretations of some of his remix projects.

BMT018: Frederic Robinson - Theme Park / Off Topic

Taken from his hugely anticipated forthcoming album, ‘Mixed Signals’, Blu Mar Ten Music presents the first solo expedition by Frederic Robinson.

In a world where harder, faster and more obnoxious is the order of the day Frederic Robinson deals in complex and nuanced music that displays a maturity of thought far beyond the young German’s 21 years. Disciplined and focused, he stretches genres until the restrictions of tempo lose their meaning and the listener is free to simply experience music rather than categorise it. His intensely intricate sound design, instrumentation and arrangement places him closer to contemporary classical composers such as Steve Reich, Terry Riley or Philip Glass than the more typically accepted gurus of dance music.

For Frederic Robinson music is not some cynical fast track to DJ work, transient fame or the faint praise of his peers. Despite having its roots in common dance music this is the exploration of sound and structure beyond the cheap, pyrotechnic tricks of club land and into a much more intimate space of thought and emotion. Having trained as a classical violinist and now studying audio design in Switzerland Frederic is fixated with the meshing of the organic and the electronic, constantly pushing his instruments in new and unconventional ways to create textures that cannot be found in any off-the-shelf software. Those who remember the early DIY synthesiser-tinkering that gave birth to Aphex Twin’s uniquely haunting sound will recognise the same spirit of innovation in the work of Frederic Robinson.

The music itself is beautiful, both subtle and satisfying. Harmonies rush and swoop, collapsing in on each other amid fractured percussion and sparkling melody, simultaneously muscular and fragile. Motifs appear, become warped then reappear in different forms, helping the music to talk about itself while it shifts through distinct movements of light and shade. It is this fearsome and unique skill in execution which has led Frederic Robinson to the ears of tastemakers across the spectrum, from Gilles Peterson to London Elektricity, and seen a flurry of releases on Hospital Records, Brownswood, BMTM and Med School along with remix work for some of his most promising young contemporaries.
