Byrd Out Limited is proud to announce the release of previously unheard music from The Woodleigh Research Facility. The four-track EP ‘Vous Du Music’ pulses with a chugging, acid-tinged electronica recorded between 2016 and 2017.
The EP opens with the title track ‘Vous Du’, a nod to the Gallic black magick musical creations of Erick Legrand, whose track Woodleigh Research Facility reworked here (indeed, Erick is given a credit). ‘Vous Du’ is packed full of blips, beeps and propulsive energy, as well as spoken word interlaced with the unmistakable sound of the 303.
Clocking in at 8 minutes, ‘Between Two Waves’ is arguably the standout track, with a swirling, hypnotic groove that captures the listener. With its insistent beat and interweaving melodies, the track conjures to mind the tide coming in and sweeping you away to a different place.
The third track, ‘Tempesta’ aptly moves to a more stormy place, with industrial noises and haunting sonic layers. But looking to Caliban, we need not fear, the sounds and sweet airs give delight, and hurt not. ‘Tempesta’ is almost reminiscent of a Hardfloor sound, moving along at pace.
Closing out the EP is a remix of ‘Vous Du’ by producer Timothy J. Fairplay, who sharpens the original into a dancefloor weapon of the highest calibre with more acid, more synths, more kick drum. This is harder, dense, acid-flecked techno. Fairplay is a firm fixture of the electronic music scene releasing on Dungeon Module, Pinkman Records and more, as well as formerly being in The Asphodells, and being co-founder of club night and label Crimes of the Future alongside Scott Fraser.
