Back On The Block

trishes — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 23:36:34 GMT

We know it was a little quiet around here the last couple of months - but that's about to seriously change. Besides producing and mixing various projects (including Kamp's "Neue Mode" tape) and keeping heads hooked to his almost daily dose of dope, Whizz Vienna found some spare time to finish his first solo instrumental LP, "Beats Pt. 3". The minimalist title might be confusing at first, but the story is actually rather simple: Starting with this collection of brandnew bangers, Whizz is going to go back into time to showcase the highlights of different sounds and eras he went through those last years. With two programmed prequels already lined up, this sounds like a pretty glorious trilogy to us...

New Unison joint!

trishes — Mon, 22 May 2006 20:50:24 GMT

In case you were wondering what those three Unison guys have been doing since their "Sound Networks EP" a year ago, there's one answer: A Track called "Nothing Changed" on their pretty new MyCrack page. And as you're getting sucked deeper and depper into the abyss of interaddictive social networks please stop and take a look around to watch Whizz busting out instant bangers almost on the daily and Trishes strugglin' to keep up with the incredible update frequency.

PS: A Mister T expansion of Trishes & Aladin Sani's "Take My Hands" can now be heard on the label page there...

Brandnew Beattown Treats

trishes — Mon, 27 Feb 2006 20:30:39 GMT

The interactive epidemic they call MyCrack has hit hard in our neighbourhood. While our labelpage has been up for a while, both Whizz and Trishes have recently put a couple of brandnew beats on there. So to check out what future Beattown records might (or might not) sound like please go there, listen and don't hesitate to feed back!

Priorities

trishes — Sat, 11 Feb 2006 02:43:59 GMT

We should be happy. Austrian singer Zeebee will release her second album "Priorities" on February 17th, featuring two tracks produced by Trishes. One is called "My Sunny Friend", the other a new version of "Fever" over a revamped beat that fans of the 'town might remember from way way back.

We should be happy. Manchester-based record mecca Fat City now carries the Trishes & Aladin Sani record and the review there ends with the punchline "Trishes is a disco man at heart" - well observed.

We should be happy, but we're not. Today the world lost a genius who shaped the future of music like few before him. Rest In Peace, J Dilla!

Beattown Alert!

trishes — Thu, 05 Jan 2006 22:12:35 GMT

February 5th saw the release of "Amokkoma", the sophomore album by southeastern Austria's Hörspiel Crew. Almost all of the production is handled by their own musical mastermind Cle (who's real-life job is - guess! - playing soccer in Austria's first league), but Trishes managed to make one beat happen as well. Avid followers of the Beattown sound will recognize the instrumental to "Werdegang" from Every Town Is Beattown - combined with P.Tah's thoughtful reflections and Sue's soulful vocals, the track turns into a beautiful song.

Trishes & Whizz Vienna "Fly Beattown!" review

trishes — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 20:09:05 GMT

One of the things that first drew me into the world of Mp3 blogging, along with the egotistical desire to inflict my listening tastes on the internet, was the chance it gave to promote lesser known artists.
Blogging allows you to drop music that wouldn't normally be heard so we at Ear Fuzz are always interested in promoting music made by up and coming artists.

Therefore today we have sounds coming to you from Austria via fellow Myspace addicts and Beattown Records label owners Trishes & Whizz Vienna. Instrumental hip hop of high quality the two tracks come from their latest release Fly Beattown!.
Half produced by Trishes and half by Whizz Vienna the album illustrates the duo's love of all things hip hop and a diverse selection of styles and sounds.

Ill Brazil by Trishes is like some evil twin of Mr Scruff's classic track Ug - with a rolling, squelching, farting, funky bassline and ominous strings accompanying the stripped down beats. Has a nice pitch shift halfway through as well. I've yet to try it but I reckon this track would go down a storm played loud and heavy.

Slide Into Confusion by Whizz Vienna is on the more downtempo tip with meaty beats, violins, and a cheeky little music box sample accompanying the quality scratching of DJ Emodee who laces vocal and instrumental cuts over the track with considerable skill.

Trishes & Whizz Vienna "Fly Beattown!" review

trishes — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 20:07:33 GMT

Trishes and Whizz Vienna are two Austrian beatmakers who, for the last couple of years, have been bringing it on their very cool Beattown label. This album is the fourth installment in a series of instrumental collections where each producer takes a side. What I like best about this record is that Trishes and Whizz have different styles. Trishes’ is more keyboard-centric, centering around big synth basslines and stripped-down drum tracks. “That’s Love” pairs a liquid bassline with swirling rhodes chords, and cool English spoken word interludes, while “Microgroove Me” uses a cut-up sampled bassline and layered percussion to make a heavy head-nodder. “Ill Brazil” almost sounds like slowed-down broken beat, with its midtempo funky drums and massive synth bass. Trishes adds cascading rhodes lines and cool flute samples for extra flavor. “Aeroflot” takes a refreshing jaunt into IDM territory with ambient synth pads and clicky, minimalist drums. Overall, he has a warm, funky vibe while Whizz’s sample-heavy approach creates a more moody, introspective atmosphere. “A Doctor’s Daughter Killed” is a nice boom-bap cut with cut-up drama samples and a well-placed vocal loop. It has much American appeal, as does “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me.” My only concern with the latter track is that it sounds a little too much like 9th Wonder with its stuttery loops and sped-up soul vocal hook. He gets his groove back on the laid-back head-nodder “Easy Way Out,” “Back on the Boulevard L” and the awesome “Slide Into Confusion” which takes me back to the New Breed/early DJ Vadim days of minimalist beat abstractions. Real nice. These guys are yet another reason not to front on the Austrian scene, along with Dzihan & Kamien and Vienna Scientists. Fans of European beatsmithery need to get up on this.

Unison "Sound Networks" review

trishes — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 20:00:51 GMT

Unison is an interesting crew. Technically, they are from Vienna, Austria. However, their main voice, MC Shnek, is, as the group’s website states, “half-British and half-Austrian.” It sounds like he has spent a majority of his time up north as he raps with an unmistakable British accent. The rest of the crew is Austrian, and they include turntablist DJ Crum and producer Whizz Vienna. Sound Networks is a nice little EP of various sounds. Shnek isn’t a bad MC, but his flows are no better or worse than your average UK rapper. Crum is sharp on the cuts, but the real story is Whizz Vienna. For a country that’s smack in the middle of Europe, you wouldn’t Austria would be home to such laid-back, jazz and dub-influenced artists like Kruder & Dorfmeister and Dzihan & Kamien. Whizz’s style is similarly “Austrian” in terms of its warm, jazzy, and sophisticated qualities. “Broken Air” bounces along with a bubbly bassline, deep rhodes chords and classy string hits, while “Girls Make My Hair Loose” (?) knocks a little harder with bigger drums, a cool guitar loop and little string and flute bits. Crum comes correct on this one too. “Sound Networks” finds Shnek sounding a bit out of place, busting rhymes over a deep, melancholy steppers groove that sounds like it should be a downtempo instrumental. Speaking of instrumentals, Whizz brings us two nice ones here. “Hinterkopf” is a lazy, jazzy groove reminiscent of early DJ Cam with its live piano runs and nice bassline. “Relaxed” changes the vibe to a thoughtful, melancholy one with its mournful, cascading piano loops and emotional guitar parts. I don’t think the bonus cut “Let Me Rock” appears on the vinyl version of this EP, but it’s one of the most interesting cuts on this CD. The beat is a straight-up deep house track. The earnest, minor-keyed groove works nicely with Shnek’s observations on urban living. Who said hip-house was dead? Seriously, though, it’s worth searching out for those who didn’t get in on their vinyl version. Overall, this is a nice collection of cuts that continues the legacy of tight, jazzy Austrian beatmaking.
