Aus乃是Yasuhiko Fukuzono的个人project,他来自日本东京,是个非常年轻的才华型音乐人。2004年当他在U-Cover这个比利时独立厂牌旗下发行他的第一张专辑《Kangaroo Note》时,他才20岁。隔年,他更再接再厉地推出了第二张专辑《Crowding》。基本上aus的音乐是流露着glitch pop肌理的IDM,有着易于入耳的甜美旋律和灵巧迷人的碎拍节奏(在碎拍声效及位置处理方面,更让我们咋舌于aus的一丝不苟)。除了toe-tapping的IDM外,在专辑里,他也会放进一两首比较ambient的曲目,在调剂听者的聍听体验之余,也展现了aus静态的一面。
在两个星期前,23岁的aus推出了他的第三张专辑《Sonorapid》(改由纽约的Music Related厂牌发行)。虽然是继承之前两张专辑的风格,可是这张新专辑明显可以听出aus的技术已经越渐成熟,很多旋律和节奏结合处的菱角都被磨去了。再加上大量人声的出现(之前两张专辑里似乎都没有人声),使整张专辑的层次听起来更丰富饱满,感觉更温暖动人

Singularity marks the fifth album from the UK electronic producer and composer and the follow up to 2013’s Mercury Prize nominated Immunity.
Where Immunity charted the dark alternative reality of an epic night out, Singularity explores the dissonance between dystopian urbanity and the green forest. It is a journey that returns to where it began – from the opening note of foreboding to the final sound of acceptance. Shaped by his experiences with meditation and trance states, the album flows seamlessly from rugged techno to transcendent choral music, from solo acoustic piano to psychedelic ambient.

这张专辑与其说有封面不如说没有,因为他们都奉行简约主意,封面就是一张白纸,里面也没有任何图片可看,甚至连背面也没有歌曲的名称,整张唱片做得很简单,碟面也没有任何修饰····
专辑曲目:

这一英国最著名的实验乐队是电子音乐大家庭的一员。他们的音乐非常电子化,并不刺耳,显示出Kraftwerk和早期电子乐的痕迹。除发表了一些实验形式和扭曲音响的作品外,他们还在舞曲爱好者和独立摇滚乐迷中发掘了大批狂热的追随者。初听他们的音乐会觉得随意或杂乱,听多了就会发现那些都是经过精心构思的。
他们也作为神秘的Gescom的一部分发过唱片,同时也曾为Skinny Puppy, Tortoise, Stereolab, DJ Food, 和 Scor等乐队做过混音。

Actress, real name Darren Jordan Cunningham, known to friends as DAZ, returns with a new album, now on Ninja Tune and a new music system called “AZD” (pronounced “Azid”), a chrome aspect journey into a parallel world. An artist who has always preferred to make music than to talk about it, in “AZD” he has achieved another remarkable landmark, one which is as resistant to interpretation as it is demanding of it. Following on from his previous albums, R.I.P, Splazsh and Hazyville, an epilogue poem attached to the press release for Ghettoville was construed by media, commentators and spectators that Cunningham had retired. This led him to conceptualise this mass of conclusion as the key to ‘Giving power back to identity.’
So a few pointers, or possible ways to think about “AZD”. The album is themed around chrome – both as a reflective surface to see the self in, and as something that carves luminous voids out of any colour and fine focuses white and black representing the perfect metaphor for the bleakness of life in the Metropolis as suggested by Anish Kapoors Cloud Gate.
Another way to approach would be through the art of James Hampton and Rammellzee (who inspired “CYN,” which Cunningham also sees as a vision of New York in reverse…) – both of whom, though of different generations of the African-American slave diaspora, created art through “Sourcing castaway materials from their environment and reinterprating them into absolute majesty given from the fourth dimension.” There is also the career-long influence of the Detroit techno pioneers, something which becomes clear on this album “there is a contrast in the type of glow or reflection”.
Alternatively, you could write your PhD thesis on Jung’s Shadow Theory and AZD: “Lots of ideas come from dreams, this isn’t new, but sometimes the conscious mind starts to meld into the universal consciousness through constellation tunnelling.” If that sounds too taxing then you could always fall back on Star Wars and, in particular, the Death Star: “It has a dark dystopian backdrop, with highly sophisticated technology, but it is fading into the ether, still holding on and emitting a powerful energy. The music remaking the embers, binding them together and pulling them apart again.”
Alternatively, just listen. That “glow” Cunningham talks about makes this in some ways more immediate than previous Actress releases. Take lead single, “X22RME” (pronounced “Extreme”) which elegantly plays between the lines of Oriental classic rave and Balinese warehouse Techno machined in a Rotherhithe lock up welding the grooves into a seamless cracked joint.
At the other end of the spectrum is “Faure in Chrome,” a byproduct or development from his collaboration with the London Contemporary Orchestra, in which he “repatterns” aspect of Faure’s Requiem into a piece which sounds like the very institution of classical music being encased in electronic ice and scanned through a high frequency bandwidth. In between are gems like “Runner,” a personal re-soundtracking of Blade Runner “its from the deleted Fade Runner scene where AZD in a Peckham Cafe realises his barber has over the years etched a faded scroll into his head using early 80s African synthpop as a vexing serum“, or “Falling Rizlas,” an alienated music-box ballad. It’s a remarkable piece of work, that harks back both to Actress’ previous productions and to earlier iterations of the (broadly conceived) “techno” project without being beholden to anything but Cunningham’s forward-facing, individual and disembodied vision.
The simplest you could say about “AZD” is that it’s art – the unique creation of a unique mind. There will be few more distinctive, brilliant or visionary suites of music released in 2017. Call him what you will, this is the year that Darren ‘Daz’ Cunningham - aka Actress, aka AZD – asserts more clearly than ever before his complete independence.

Self published
Beginning with Angelo Badalamenti describing the creative pinprick that produced the gloriously macabre Twin Peaks theme, Nicolas Jaar pulls no punches on his dancefloor-averse Essential Mix for Radio 1. The Ivy League student behind last year’s massively acclaimed ‘Space Is Only Noise’ LP draws on a dizzyingly broad variety of music, from a snippet of Jay-Z to Jonny Greenwood’s soundtrack for There Will Be Blood.
Also featured are composer Shigeru Umebayasi (the man behind the music to Hong Kong love film In The Mood For Love), Smog’s Bill Callahan and nearly 10 minutes of plaintive solo piano from Keith Jarrett – a brave choice for weekend peak time, surely. Elsewhere you can hear a few selections from Jaar’s Clown & Sunset label, like the mysterious Nikita Quasim and Pavla + Noura, and burst of N*SYNC.
Jaar's ingenuity is on full display on his Essential Mix. His knack for electronic music that moves your mind more than your soles, and his appreciation for and manipulation of silence have never been so evident. According to Jaar, “I’ve watched Jurassic Park twice in my life – once when I was six and the second time a couple of weeks ago. It inspired me to think about how gaps in time change our way of perceiving.” That might explain why he threw in an *NSYNC song in there. Also, big ups to Nico for using our #1 song of 2011, Beyoncé's "1+1."
