_________________________[ Release Notes ]________________________
Three years have passed between The Teknoist's first full length
album "...Like A Hurricane Made Of Zombies" and his new
"Trainwreck Magnetism". Three years during which Miike Hayward
kept rather busy: touring all over the world, wrecking sound
systems from his home UK to Japan, releasing record after record
and making friends, lots of them. If there's a definite magnetism
drawing the listener to The Teknoist's hard and broken beats,
there's another one, drawing musicians to collaborate with him,
to lend him their tones, or ask him for a remix.
An album per se, "Trainwreck Magnetism" is also an accurate
inventory of this artist's recent activities: he's written music
again (more than half of the album are new solo and collaboration
tracks), and he's been asked to remix tracks from very different
scenes: we get his re-interpretations of King Cannibal's raw
dubstep, of Mu-Ziq's IDM, or of Drumcorps's electronic grindcore,
among others. By presenting all these tracks linked together,
The Teknoist drives one of his main points home again: however
hard his music might be, it's a world apart from just throwing
fast beats around, but requires a lot of open mindedness and care.
Yes, a lot of people will just hear and notice how hard
"Trainwreck Magnestism" is (for yes, The Teknoist's combination of
hardcore, breakcore and drum'n'bass is harder than what most
people write). It would however be a mistake not to dive in these
compositions and notice how changing, detailed and crafted they
are. Comparing the highly acrobatic "Kitsunegari" to the
atmospheric and introvert "Tears And Fruit Cocktail", or the
free-wheeling, all out madness of the King Cannibal remix to the
controlled and multi-tonal one for Septic Insurgent, one realizes
how much attention has gone into every track, and why The Teknoist
counts as one of the most sought-after and multi-talented artist
of the breakcore and hardcore scene.
