Frivolous - Moonshine EP


A1 Moonshine
B1 Moonshine (Soulphiction Remix)


Fenou #7 - the label’s artist pool is growing constantly. the canadian daniel gardner aka frivolous has already built up his reputation as a marvelous diy talent proved by releases on labels such as karloff and ~scape as well as numerous livesets around the globe. his liveact setup consists of some unconventional do-it-yourself musical equipment. but rather than using these home-made tools to destroy the sound he’s always holding the balance between dancefloor-orientated tracks and ambitious sound design. his sources of inspiration seem to be manifold and despite the obvious technological background he’s able to create a very musical melange. a sense for harmonious and melodic club tunes is the recurrent theme through his releases so far. the musical education i.e. 10 years of piano lessons might be a reason for this… on his „moonshine e.p.“ frivolous picks up a guitar theme based in country&folk music and he’s expanding this into an energetic, impellent dance track, that’s on top of the current minimal-crossover movement. the soulphiction remix seems to be more relaxed. he skipped the speedy guitar and vocal parts. instead of that he sets up a dark bass sound with african tribal grooves and a fender rhodes melody comes in right before he spices the tune with a few familiar parts of the „moonshine“ original. at the first moment the remix seems to be far away from its origin, but soon after you recognize the edit as a welcome contrast. again, fenou07 is presented as a limited edition of 10“ records with new cover artwork and serially numbered, of course...www.nuloop.com
