STARTING OVER

TRACKLISTING

A Matt O'Brien - Starting Over
B1 Matt O'Brien - Koh Bida
B2 Matt O'Brien - End Of An Error



INFO
Matt O'Brien first came to our attention in 2005 with his Off-key Industries releases "Hidden High" and "Serotone", which would later get a license (and Radio Slave remix) on Rekids.

His first contribut ion for Curle was back in 2007 when he remixed Efdemin's "Acid Bells". Last year he made up the flipside to Dozzy & Van Hoesen's track on Curle 024. And now we welcome him on Curle for his first full EP on a label other than his own Off-key Industries - which makes us proud!

Together with this EP, we will al so release the limited Curle-J01CD in Japan. A live set recorded by Matt O'Brien in London during December 2010 using Ableton Live, Akai APC40, Jomox XBase 999 and Moog Voyager. Only 100 copies were made and (almost) all of them will be ava ilable through Disk Union in Japan only, accompanied by some nice hand-numbered artwork. (We will give away a few on www.curle.be too.)

Santiago Salaza r (UR): 'starting over' in my chart! http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/santiagos alazar/top10?chart=56291
Geoffroy (Mugwump): 'end of an error' is absolutel y great. simple and biased.... loving all trax tho. 'koh bida' reflects an early Dan Curtin material feel mixed with some older orlando voorn stuff. this sort o f nostalgia is much more interesting, unlike what has invaded most of today's ul tra safe/boring techno floors. once again, curle is on point.

Groo ve magazine (DE) review in January issue:
Sehr oldschool, diese Attitüde, d ie ?Starting Over" hier an den Tag legt, um von unten dreckig und roh in der Bas sline zu schieben, während oben die nervösen Synths Momente hysterischer Ekstase produzieren. Bei ?Koh Bida" geht es etwas besinnlicher zu, indem der Akzent auf einem eher dubbigen Moment liegt, dessen Linearität allerdings durch herrlich s chräge Synth-Stabs konterkariert wird. ?End Of An Error" zeigt sich am Ende als Essenz eines modernen Techno-Verständnisses, das in der Reduktion auf einen gelu ngen Loop seiner selbst sicher sein kann und locker auf dramatische Szenarien ve rzichtet. (TEM)

mnml ssgs blog: good EP from matt o'brien. 'starting over' is definitely my favourite track. well balanced - has the melodic dimensio n but it's a bit tougher underneath. looking forward to picking up the live CD f rom disk union! (Chris)

Raveline magazine (DE): like the basslines i n "starting over" and "end of an error"...groovy feeling!!! (MPL)

Phi lip Sherburne (Pitchfork, The Wire): "koh bida" and "end of an error" are both t asty...

Max Bacharach (Resident Advisor): Starting Over is a bomb :-)

Kim Mathijs (Switch, Belgian national radio StuBru): Matt keeps 'em coming! 3 great techno tracks, techno the way i like it! Starting Over is my fa ve.
