The Rrose project was born in 2011 with the release of three EPs and an album on the legendary, now defunct Sandwell District label. Moving and breathing like a living entity, the music of Rrose channels the spirit of techno's roots while injecting influences from pre-techno electronic music and the avant-garde. Other identifying features include a focus on the tactile qualities of sound and the integration of gradual, interconnected transformations of material. In 2012, Rrose launched Eaux, a label for solo productions and collaborations.
For KAOS London Rrose will play a 2 hour DJ set featuring 'core' tracks from his back catalogue and new unreleased material.
Those familiar with Oliver Ho's fearsome and often brutal futurist early EPs on Blueprint and his more recent avant techno/house Raudive material will be aware of his ability to inject a dark narrative into functional electronics.
With BROKEN ENGLISH CLUB he delivers monotone vocals and shards of live instrumentation over stuttering beats and bleak synths. The blank-stared, pin-point-focused electronics and layers of noise betray no/wave and post punk influences, dragging together industrial experimentation and pitch-black techno.
MULTI is a new collaborative project devised and produced by Oliver Ho and Danny Passarella (Passarella Death Squad) to be released as a four-track EP with an accompanying video.
When James Manning from Juno Plus spoke with Ho back in April, he considered that the BEC project in particular felt, “fuelled by a queer synthesis of sexual liberty, glamour and art fused by the warehouse grit of punk, synth wave and noise inspired techno.”
Danny Passarella meanwhile is embarking on a new journey of sorts, having started his own label by way of his collaboration with Perc on the Cronenberg-inspired Videodrome 12”. The Passarella Death Squad member also wields considerable clout in the London fashion scene, and such a backdrop certainly feeds into this new release on the Passarella imprint.
M U L T I finds the pair of producers joining forces in the studio with a clear purpose in mind. They pitch the record themselves as, “an exploration of gender and growth, moving between the superficially binary genders, creating new identities through this process.” The track titles, “Male”, “Female”, “Back” and “Forth”, back up this notion, while the sounds themselves exist in something of a soundtrack-indebted space removed from the more direct output both artists can be known for. The style of the tracks gains further context with the twenty-minute video that has been made by Rufus Ho and Javier Gallego to accompany the release.
Further demonstrating the stated themes of Ho and Passarella’s creation. The project will be premiered at KAOS with a live performance by Chadd Curry as as we celebrate our twelfth birthday on November 7.
