Kero - 2 Advance 4 U

December 24, 2007 | Filed Under Artists, Labels, Releases |

With over 20 releases on some of electronic music’s most celebrated and innovative labels such as Bpitch Control, Ghostly International, Shitkatapult and most recently Downwards, as well as his own critically acclaimed Detroit Underground Records, Kero has established a reputation for his unrepentantly brash, yet cultivated compositions and unforgettable live performances, most recently, alongside notables such as Speedy J, Ken Ishii and Funkstorung. He has established himself as a leader within the growing pack of electronic music producers successfully infiltrating contemporary art circles worldwide. Drawing on his experiences as a dual citizen of both Canada and the United States, his innovative approach to music, graphic design and video production feeds on the detritus of popular electronic culture, creating a montage of fleeting musical and visual experiences that are paradoxically critical and enamoured with contemporary culture.

The result is music that blurs genres from hip-hop to the most rarified of techno experiments, video art which stirs faint recollections of print and televised media, and a design language that has ingrained itself upon the most celebrated electro-cultural market in the world.

Kero delivers four new compositions for his debut on the Touchin’ Bass label. By splicing together sounds and styles, he creates layer upon layer of aural textures, like an artist slapping paint onto his canvas. By example ‘Prof Railer’ fazes in and out over a haunting backing track while ‘On Acid Again’ starts with slower melancholy stabs, before it develops into an acid onslaught. Weaving in and out with subtle electro tones, the twisted ‘Bilder’ and technoid ‘Modem Wait’ complete this collection, making it another Touchin’ Bass must have.
