Milky Globe - profile
Milky Globe is the new project from Jon Tye, label boss of Lo Recordings, home to Cursor Miner and Toob amongst others. Previous incarnations of Jon's have covered everything from Acid and Deep House as Funtopia, Techno and Ambient as LO, Trip Hop and Downtempo as 2 Player, Firing Drill & Bass as Twisted Science and even proto Garage mash ups as Hairy Butter! Like the label he runs, this man is truly eNresplendent in divergence. Whilst there was a time when his DJ sets were likely to clear not just dancefloors but entire buildings, his recent relocation to Cornwall finds him in a more mellow musical mood must be something in the water!
This first Milky Globe release was created using a deadly cocktail of Glockenspiel, Casio Keyboard and Rhythm ace. all instruments were played by Jon Tye with the exception of electric piano by Daniel Pemberton and Moog Bass played by CornwalliLs first son of Acid Luke Vibert. Accompanying the Original on this lovely whit vinyl 12 you'll find 3 contrasting mixes of excellence. Scsi-9 and are perhaps the best-known Russian producers since Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich! Scsi-9 have made a particular impact across Europe, thanks to their releases on both Force Inc. and Michael MayeriLs Kompakt label. Here they excel again, delivering their unique brand of Glitchy House music whilst capturing the mood of the original perfectly. impart their own dreamy electronic interpretation here that stays true to the original but serves as a welcome alternative. Colin McBean should need little introduction. He initially made his name through his work with Cisco Ferreira as The Advent. He then pursued a solo career, releasing under various monikers including Mango Boy, The Reaver, Tommy Atkins and of course Mr G. Here we find Colin on top form with an abstract percussive looper that carries a hint of 80's influence!
