Following his storming BMTM release with Stray, we’re hugely proud to announce that Frederic Robinson will be delivering his debut album for Blu Mar Ten Music.

In a world where harder, faster and more obnoxious is the order of the day Frederic Robinson deals in complex and nuanced music that displays a maturity of thought far beyond the young German’s 21 years. Disciplined and focused, he stretches genres until the restrictions of tempo lose their meaning and the listener is free to simply experience music rather than categorise it. His intensely intricate sound design, instrumentation and arrangement places him closer to contemporary classical composers such as Steve Reich, Terry Riley or Philip Glass than the more typically accepted gurus of dance music.

In person, Frederic constantly talks of his work as a force for good; a practical belief in the power of music to genuinely affect for the better the lives of the people who hear it:

“Since I first started producing, the development process of every one of my pieces has been fuelled by a euphoria which nothing else can give me. It was always my goal to achieve the same effect in the people who listen to my music.”

For Frederic Robinson music is not some cynical fast-track to DJ work, transient fame or the faint praise of his peers. Despite having its roots in common dance music this is the exploration of sound and structure beyond the cheap, pyrotechnic tricks of clubland and into a much more intimate space of thought and emotion. Having trained as a classical violinist and now studying audio design in Switzerland Frederic is fixated with the meshing of the organic and the electronic, constantly pushing his instruments in new and unconventional ways to create textures that cannot be found in any off-the-shelf software. Those who remember the early DIY synthesiser-tinkering which gave birth to Aphex Twin’s uniquely haunting sound will recognise the same spirit of innovation in the work of Frederic Robinson.

The music itself is beautiful, both subtle and satisfying. Harmonies rush and swoop, collapsing in on each other amid fractured percussion and sparkling melody, simultaneously muscular and fragile. Motifs appear, become warped then reappear in different forms, helping the music to talk about itself while it shifts through distinct movements of light and shade. It is this fearsome and unique skill in execution which has led Frederic Robinson to the ears of tastemakers across the spectrum, from Gilles Peterson to London Elektricity, and seen a flurry of releases on Hospital Records, Brownswood, BMTM and Med School along with remix work for some of his most promising young contemporaries.

Frederic Robinson’s journey is only just beginning but those with an eye for talent will already have spotted that one of the most potent forces in modern electronic music is already amongst us.

Emerging from a background as a punk drummer, eleven8′s sound has become famous for it’s distinctive percussion and acoustic samples. Specialising in complex and spacious Dubstep and Drum & Bass with a precise blend of industrial, warped sound effects and snapshots of organic sounds, his productions fit perfectly into the BMTM label and we’re enormously proud to help showcase his talents to the world.

Hadal Zone
Befitting the subsonics of the music, The Hadal Zone (named after the Greek god, Hades, god of the Underworld), is the delineation for the deepest trenches in the ocean. Even at this depth the waters teem with alien life, glowing with bioluminescence and crackling with self-generated electricity. eleven8 skillfully recreates this landscape with lashing distortion and howling effects emerging from the darkness before disappearing again. Hadal Zone – 600 atmospheres of pressure.

Across the Sky
Where Hadal Zone takes you to the bottom of the ocean, Across the Sky rockets straight up in the opposite direction, describing satellite trajectories around the Earth. Otherworldly winds and thudding chunks of meteor bass are propelled through space by a payload of stuttering percussion. Across the Sky – aimed squarely at the space-cadets out there.
