●『"Revenge of Minimalist" Vol 6 aka JOHN SPRING』 (Text by Mixrooffice第6地下秘書課)
"Revenge of Minimalist" シリーズとは....
スティーヴ・ライヒの「イッツ・ゴナ・レイン」がドロップされてから今年で早くも43年の歳月が経過する。ミニマルテクノは紛れも無くライヒのテープループ"2本使い"によってチャンスオペられた、反復の悦楽がその原型なのであるが、果たしてそこで生じるオプティカルなモアレは、この43年間でどんな化学的変化を遂げているのだろうか?。"Revenge of Minimalist" 第6回の開催である。このシリーズを通じてMixroofficeがフロアに仕掛ける恍惚の罠は、ドイツ、イギリス、日本のミニマリストを地下集結させ、エクストリームな反復シークエンスを1/3日間延命させる、明滅のフリッカーブレイクスなのであるxっxっxっ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!。Revengeパーティー第6段となる今回はJOHN SPRINGが登場。彼らアンダーグラウンド・ミニマリスト達は、今回もアブストラクトな波紋を広げフロアを乱反射させてくれるだろう。歴史は繰り返す。最小限の音数で......。
John Spring was born 1979 Rostock, Germany. Influenced by early Daft-Punk records, Christian Morgenstein (RIP), Aphex Twin & Detroit labels like UR his big break came in 2003 with the release of "Dispo Dancer" on SUBSTATIC, supported by the likes of CRAIG RICHARDS & LEE BURRIDGE at their Fabric residency TYRANT. "STRANGE" was the hit, later re-edited & re-released in 2005 on CROSSTOWN REBELS to critical acclaim. "Have you ever heard sounds like these?" went the vocal. We loved it & so did Damian Lazarus. Johannes has since released several further Substatic releases including an LP / CD 'Superman Days' plus remixes for Ostwind & more. Tracks have been licensed to DC10's 'Circo Loco' CD, KARAFUTO aka TANAKA FUMIYA'S 'Live at Unit', ADAM BEYER's 'Essential Underground' & Resopal's 'The Process' in 2006 among others. Supported by the likes of LAURENT GARNIER, KAROTTE & DAN CURTIN 'Ready To Broadcast' by John Spring is out now on Substatic. "Lava Lava" from that EP was recently licensed to SVEN VATH's yearly Cocoon Ibiza compilation.
