DJ 3000 heralds the 12” release of “Darjeeling Sun” from his “Galactic Caravan” full length with the inclusion of 3 remixes from around the world. The original track takes driving rhythmic queues from the north Indian region for which it takes its name. If we close our eyes, “Darjeeling Sun” will almost create a visual landscape of wildly vivid colors and frantic movement, found perhaps in a bustling Indian marketplace, or at a late night café amid a series of dancers. Under its tones lies a sort of invisible texture that we must not let our ears disregard. Gary Martin (Detroit) brings us back stateside, roping us in with one of the funkiest basslines of the year. Gary adds an element of bass driven swagger to the track that is most certainly molded in his own trademark style. If the original was shrouded in a sense of antiquity, Gary Martin delivers a modern, stream lined sound with his remix. Back around to the other side of the globe with a finely crafted remix from Japan’s Rennie Foster. The track is steeped in Foster’s architecturally precise layering of sounds and textures which creates one of the most full bodied tracks Motech has ever heard. Equal parts rhythm and drama, Foster gives “Darjeeling Sun” a very cinematic treatment. From original to remix and back around the world again, Motech continues to draw our sound out of the past, into the present and through the future. Our sound is our own, built from scratch, and assembled from the dust of factory floors, the dirt of plowed fields and grime from the gutters of urban decay. Our identity is not to be mistaken, for it is our own, born of hard work, sacrifice and belief. What do you call your own? |
