Clicks & Cuts 5: Paradigm Shift
In 2000 the German music label Mille Plateaux released the first compilation in the Clicks & Cuts Series. Always looking for new sounds and innovative ideas in music it introduced me to a new movement in electronic music known by various names including clip hop, blip hop and most commonly as glitch.
The original Clicks & Cuts CD introduced me to new experimental electronica artists such as Vladislav Delay and Kit Clayton, along with more familiar artists Pole and Pan Sonic.
Ten years on and Mille Plateaux release Clicks & Cuts 5: Paradigm Shift. 17 tracks introducing me to 17 new artists that in 2010 are at the cutting edge of electronic experimental music; and as with previous releases in the series I listen to this more as a sampler rather than any type of ‘Now That’s What I Call Glitch 2010’album.
Merging glitch with dub overtones always seems to work for me, and so I single out Aoki Takamasa’s RN04-09 and Isolex 03 by Loom as artists I want to hear more from. But there are other fusions and interesting sounds I will follow up here including the beautiful and chilled minimal techno of e.coli by Marow and Inner by Nicolaus.
Clicks & Cuts Volume 5.0 features a totally new generation of young artists giving a 360 degree view on fresh glitch sounds: from Glitch to Minimal Techno and Dub Electronica to Ambient and Sound Art . Each song has its own distinct character. Mille Plateaux never usually fails to deliver interesting electronic music, and Clicks & Cuts 5.0 is a perfect latest edition to this great CD series.
Clicks & Cuts 5.0: Paradigm Shift is released on Mille Plateaux on 7th May 2010
