From out of the Ashes

As you may have heard, Teki Latex's label, Institubes, is no longer. After producing albums for electro celebrities Bobmo, Para One, Surkin and Midnight Juggernauts over the past seven years, they are closing up shop.

Enter Marble Players. Their new website gives a sneak peak into their origins:

"As you probably heard recently, Marble is a new dance label launched by Para One, Surkin and Bobmo. We already told you these three have began sharing recording space less than a year ago, and soon spent some time jamming and producing together. Surkin and Bobmo already had their High Powered Boys project, but this new unit, christened Marble Players, is a bit more hardware-oriented, and involves multiple analog/digital mutations ; a typical day in the studio would be Bobmo coming up with a vocal digital sample, then Para replaying it on his SP12, then giving it back to Surkin so he can add his own Reason-based beats – you get the picture. Generally, there’s a just a strong taste for manipulating sound as a physical thing in the way Marble Players play."




I have been a fan of the Bobmo and Surkin duo, High Powered Boys, for awhile, and since they have teamed up with Para One, it seems they have only gotten better. Check you out some Marble Players.

What caught my attention, however, is who they have captured in their label's circle, namely dj/producer Myd. And I'll just have to get to that after the holiday because an early independent feeling is kicking in, in which I am required freedom from my keyboard to access a cold beverage more quickly.

Freedom' ain't free.
