DAN BALIS - FRANKS ep
Support : 12" / Ref : BR008 / Label : BRIQUE ROUGE release date : NOW
A1 : Dan Balis mix 1
A2 : Dan Balis mix 2
B1 : DD's Plastic Music remix
B2 : Yann Fontaine remix
written & produced by Dan Balis - add.prod. by Eugene Cho & Eli Epstein
With his debut production effort, Brooklyn's Dan Balis becomes the latest
artist to join the Brique Rouge camp. Unlike most French house labels,
Brique Rouge has cultivated a solid reputation for avoiding the formulaic
cliches typical of their peers. Filtered disco loops are abandoned in favor
of a more expansive and explicitly musical approach, much in the spirit of
the early dance-floor experiments associated with labels like Salsoul,
Prelude, and West End. This makes Brique Rouge an ideal choice for Dan's
auspicious first single, the "Frank's EP".
While his first efforts at composition began as the guitarist for a punk
band in high school, the twenty-three year old began producing several years
ago while in college. It was there he met and befriended classmate Jamie
Hodge, who had already recorded several critically acclaimed 12"s for Richie
Hawtin's legendary +8 imprint. Hodge not only tutored Balis in the use of
the school's extensive electronic music facilities, but also expanded his
musical vocabulary. Initially Balis favored less obviously dance-oriented
material, specifically the early Warp catalog, but soon a voracious appetite
for novel sounds led him to his current preoccupation with early dance
music: specifically Detroit Techno, Chicago House, and classic NYC garage.
Balis began to craft a sound which while transparently referencing his
influences, manages to do so without seeming anachronistic or deteriorating
into trendy retro fetish.
Dan Balis' debut single features sophisticated programming and technique
that suggest a studio veteran. Bongos and rhodes playing meander over
tightly constructed grooves which while never tracky or repetitive, still
inexorably compel listeners from their seats to the dancefloor. Strenuously
avoiding samples and loops, the tracks are original compositions from top to
bottom. Drums are painstakingly cut up and reworked; Dan is rarely
comfortable sampling more than a tiny fragment of source material. Even
pre-release, Dan's material has received high praise from luminaries such as
Dan Bell and Morgan Geist.
When he's not buried in the studio, Dan can be found nursing a whiskey athis
favorite Brooklyn nightspot, Frank's Lounge.
