::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: BRUNO PRONSATO remixes Claude Von Stroke's Monster Island Dirtybird DB030c (12") :: on Bird Brain Remixes Pt.3 :: Release Date: 15.03.10
a1 :: monster island ( bruno pronsato remix) b1 :: storm on lake st. claire (stimming remix) b2 :: monster island (christian martin remix) We start out with “Monster Island” the 1st track from the album. Bruno Pronsato was one of the very first DJs Claude played with on the road in 2006 when his 1st album came out and they have been keeping in touch ever since. Recently they played together again in SF where Bruno said “Monster Island” was like “music to fuck to”….but we feel it is the other way around and that it is actually Bruno who is making the sexiest beats on the planet right now.
BRUNO PRONSATO's label thesongsays releases: NINCA LEECE:: Feed me Rainbows (Incl. Public Lover Rmx) thesongsays song 03 (12") :: Release Date: 12.04.10
a1 :: feed me rainbows b1 :: feed me rainbows (public lover remix)
Ninca Leece is new to thesongsays, but not new to the scene. A trained musician, a jogger, and damn good cook, she's been toiling for years in studios and on small computers far and wide. With an album already under her belt on bureau b (a sub-label of tapete records), she brings her forward-thinking productions to thesongsays ... and romantic techno moves forward.
Feed me rainbows is the result of ninca's fairy tale-like productions. and by "fairy tale," we mean there's a story behind it: hidden in the claps, in the wall of sound, the soft kicks and bubbling bass lines, there's something delicate and magical moving through it constantly, something not easily pin-ponted. Perhaps the answers are in those whispers stretching throughout? or maybe it's when the clouds of noise part, when the abstract melodies subside midway and we are left with the bare bones of the track — a single guitar plucking harmonics, underpinned by a strangely disharmonic whine. By the track's end, and like all good cliff-hangers, we are left with a sensation that something else is going to happen. Our happiness wasn't in vain but more of an investment in what's to come. We feel there is a sequel ... and we hope there's even more after that. Feed me rainbows two?
On the b side, public lover (ninca leece and bruno pronsato) take this fairy tale to a more sultry and conclusive level: turning the beauty into something naughty, a one-night stand if you will. And what better way than a huge bass line, rhodes, and the couple singing in her native french, "donne-moi des arcs-en-ciel?" as a whole, public lover seems to be grabbing minute pieces here and there from the original, teasing you for an entire 16 minutes of vocal snippets, rhodes, bubbles, ninca blowing her nose, and wobbly guitars. it's ladies night in their story, and we feel it's a sure-fire after-hour cut exclusively for only the dingiest parties ... we hope you agree.
Well, i had the pretty big project called, 'the make up the break up.' Given the current climate of selling records, i wasn\'t too sure any labels would really be interested in something like that. A 38 minute track that is not an album is pretty hard to sell. I pretty much decided that the best idea would be to try it myself: experience some the of the pain of my friends in the label-owning business.
How do you feel being part of the so called industry now and leaving the artist only side?
It\'s been a relatively easy transition. The guys at word and sound have been an endless source of inspiration and help getting things moving and helping me figure out some the administrative stuff. I think, like with all labels, it\'s all one big learning process. I'm kind of flying by the seat of my pants at the moment, but slowly getting my grip on what to do and what not to do.
The new fabric mix is including Bruno Pronsato\'s "We were...", a release on Philpot in 2006. This track is a jackin minimal mover with some strange acid bleeps, repetitive beats and typical Pronsato claps.
The Make Up The Break Up is the first release on Bruno Pronsato\'s own Thesongsays label. It\'s the longest track in his catalog (38 minutes), and another deep excursion into the concept of relationships.
This track was originally a track uncompleted while making, 'Why Can't We Be Like Us.' Revisiting it roughly a year ago, Bruno began reworking it. What began as simple attempt to create an EP track out of it became a monster. What monster you ask? In a few words, the monster that is Bruno\'s love of musicality and sound design.
Muscially speaking, we are on a ride somewhere between a slithery house track and a drugged out night out in Chelsea, New York in the 60's - and that's a good thing because we get the entirety of the ride: the ups, the downs, the clouded mentality, the broken heart and perhaps the mended one. It\'s happy, it's sad - it's something that you can dance to, but most importantly, it's *music* that we think you can revisit for many years, as it somehow reflects us, our lives. A playful and extended journey through and disaster, or at least the soundtrack to it. PRE-LISTEN AT WORDANDSOUND.NET
