ABOUT THIS ITEM

Five new tracks from this Portland based Tigerbeat 6 / Kranky / DFA recording artist, comes in its own sleeve, not the standard 100% Silk sleeve. Paul Dickow aka Strategy releases music on his Archigramophone imprint and curates monthly Community Library nights at the Dunes club in Portland, Oregon. Strategy has released dance singles (with Seattle's ORAC label), remixes and a debut album, "Strut", on the Portland-based Outward Music label in summer 2003. Strategy wires together Dickow's programming and performing experience via a hodgepodge of table top electronics, computers and realtime musicianship. Combining a granular ambient aesthetic with an abstract, percolating rhythmic sensibility, Strategy unites small parts into complete melodies motivated by complex pulsations. The Portland Mercury described Dickow as 'Portland's laptop prankster / meister of disquo'. Sounds like house music to these Piccadilly Records ears...
