DEEWEEから、〈THRONE OF BLOOD〉やDFA周辺、NYCアンダーグラウンドシーンの奇才たちによるEACH OTHER。12インチ。
Justin Strauss and Max Pask have joined up to form the new project Each Other, who will release their self-titled debut EP ‘Be Nice To Each Other’ on February 7th, 2020 via Soulwax/2manydjs label DEEWEE. While Strauss and Pask have DJ’d together on numerous occasions, this is the first time that they’ve collaborated on a production project.
The EP finds Each Other creating an eclectic range of sounds in the space of just three tracks. The opener ‘Same As It Never Was’ is the most immediate of the set, becoming more hypnotic as the minimalist topline buries itself into your subconscious. The downtempo ‘Burn It Down’ then darkens the mood, feeling closer to a dystopian sci-fi soundtrack than an underground club classic, before the playful and progressive ‘Six Weeks’ up the energy with jittering beats, sparkling synths and a cooly understated vocal.
“What we were trying to do and what we’ve hopefully achieved was to merge our influences with a nod to what many consider to be the ‘golden age’ of New York,” explains Justin Strauss. “You don’t realise that these periods were becoming important markers in history when we were living through them. It only comes later with the added benefit of time. I hope that in years to come, history will find a place for what we’re doing now” - Each Other.

〈DFA〉や〈DARK ENTRIES〉からメジャーのミックス仕事まで手掛けるNYCのエレクトロニック・ミュージックの奇才WHATEVER/WHATEVERのJUSTIN STRAUSSと、〈THRONE OF BLOOD〉を運営する一人POPULETTE等に参加する MAX PASKの二人のユニット。昨年二人にMOSCOMANを加えたTRADING PLACESに続いてのコラヴォレション。硬質なインダストリアルビートのサウンドフォーム、左右奥行きの音響構築、アシッディー。サイケデリックダンス・トラック。ダウンテンポの「Burn It Down」。B2サイド、フルのミニマル・ウェイヴ、エレクトロニック・ハウス・トランス「Six Weeks」は、カオスなダンスフロアトラック。是非.
