Description:

mindSET is the ninth album from enigmatic producer SW., directly follow ing this summerâ??s excursion into his trademark techno, IDM and bleep soundscapes, on t he myDEFINITIONS Vol II album. But with his mindSET album SW. takes a left turn, as pi oneers often do, and w e find ourselves on the lesser traveled side roads of electronic music history. Or in SW.â??s own words: â??the more abstract left field elements.â? Itâ??s in these less-defined areas that SW. finds his sweet spot , building dancefloor soundtracks that defied definition. And with mindSET the s ounds and the machines might have c hanged, the method ology remains the same. â??It draws from what was more generally seen in leftfield as a term for the slightly off -kilter house and bro ken beats that did nâ??t fit neatly into classic genres, whether that was Chicago house, French gar age, drum and bass, or broken beat. Itâ??s more a bout those in-between sound s that never really took off, only appearing briefly in the early to mid-90s and then q uickly disappearing. There was a cer tain magic in that moment, which I wanted to capture. Also, the entire album was produced using c lassic analog equipment, with old machines that were used during t hat era. Thatâ??s the approach Iâ??ve taken.â? The eight track s on mindSET are shaped out of de-tuned techno pop synths and heavy, syncopated drums, grooving along chopped-up polymeters to create an eerie mood, as if o rbiting an undiscov ered planet for the first time. The harmonic movements are often bent out of shape, sometimes veering towards Gherkin Jerks or Cristian Vogel territory. But in the end, the sounds are less important than the atmosphere, and the tracks represent an attitude or an approach - to creating the music as well as experiencing it. mindSET is a nod to those dancers sharing an oddball moment, and for those of us on the sa me wavelength, it's a vibe we can all get inside. -
