Frivolous: Finds his Island of Sanctity

The track starts with traces of the acoustic material, then bleeds straight into an organic polyrythmic groove, resampling the song for atmospherics. It is a luscious, embracing and delicate piece of dance music, yet retains the dark hypnoticism of the club. A second edit emphasises Gardner’s House roots, slowing down the action even more and bringing the soul-side of the piece to the fore.

The origin for this completely natural fusion of many different influences can be seen in his background as a classical instrumentalist – his previous full-length “Midnight Black Indulgence” was based on the principles of Baroque music and Jazz. Says Frivolous: “For me Jazz means a loseness and a feeling that can only be created by humans. It is the anti-machine. Even if it is sampled, it is usually for the quality of a magical moment that can't be graphed with 0-127 on time-code. "

The “Island Of Sanctity EP” is out now on 12’’ Vinyl on ~scape Records.
