MISTRESS 16

by Autokinetic

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    The Minneapolis-based producer and live performing artist Autokinetic debuts on DVS1's Mistress Recordings:

    "Mistress 16" is not only a thrilling, hardware-heavy heads-down techno affair with a focus on polyrhythms and basslines, Autokinetic also showcases his melodic ingenuity that adds a deeper level to his narrative.

    Mike McClure, aka Autokinetic, has been performing live electronic music since the early 90’s. Coming up alongside local legends like Freddy Fresh, Woody McBride, Paul Birken, DJ Slip, and DVS1, his approach to electronic music is unmistakably informed by his long involvement in underground electronic music culture.

    Includes unlimited streaming of MISTRESS 16 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

MISTRESS 16 opens with the broken-beat acid-inspired "MN Accent" in which a higher register portamento-heavy SH-101 sings over the top of melodic yet haunting chords in an attempt to sum up the general mood of the Minnesota mid-Winter.

"Dark Dialogue" is a collaborative track of AutoClub, the joint project of Autokinetic and Craig Lambert. While the main chord is a 5/4 beat contrasting with the straight 4/4 time signature, this triple and duple meter effect creates an unpredictable, disturbing feeling.

"A Saucerful Of Sequence" introduces the melodic B-side with a rolling bassline and sharp hi-hats conveys anxiety and uncertainty in audio form. An eerie hum generated from a drone synth with uneasy minor chromatic tones represents a spiraling descent down a path to the unknown.

"Imposter Cymbal" closes the 12-inch using competing step length and modulating synth loops creating urgency and a slippery groove that features some heavy 808 percussions with a syncopated snare pattern nod to the great percussionist Max Roach.

The digital bonus track is the most personal and melodic track of MISTRESS 16. As a tribute for a late friend, "Strong Enough" unfolds a focused and purposeful 909 percussion raining down over muted, reverb-engulfed foundational tones while the vocals echoing in rhythmic synchronization with swelling chords drive the dynamics of this track.
