Dr. Motte meets Gabriel le Mar (CD)

on Fax label +49-69/450464

 

Deep and floating grooves tuned to planetary frequencies

The result is a trip on the dance floor with deep, floating grooves and predominantly "4-2-4 beats" on the first four tracks, while the last three tracks become an after hours party filled with deep, energetic, beatless grooves with a dubby atmosphere. At the beginning, "Dr. Motte" introduced Gabriel to another special method of producing music, using a tonal scale that is based on the frequencies of the rotating planets from our solar system, because the rotation of the planets differ from each other along with gravitational principles.

For each track, they tuned their musical equipment to the corresponding planetary frequency of one of the planets in our solar system.
The earth's tuning, for example, is the 435.92 Hz 'G' tone.

Dr. Motte meets Gabriel Le Mar

 

During his studies in Berlin in summer 1990 Gabriel heard about a street demo called Loveparade and joined this crazy gathering dancing in the streets... Everything in our existence was the music ...

Years later he met Motte, originator and inventor of the love parade, and they took the decision to meet in studio for jams in Frankfurt at Gab's Lab, where they celebrated a creative clash that is manifested in their tracks Dr. Motte meets Gabriel Le Mar. The result is a trip on the dance floor with deep, floating grooves and predominantly 4-2-4 beats on the first four tracks, while the last three become an after hours party filled with deep beatless grooves with a dubby mood.

At the beginning, Dr. Motte introduced Gabriel Le Mar to another special method of producing music, using a tonal scale that is based on the frequencies of the "rotating planets" from our "solar system", because the rotation of the planets differ from each other along with gravitational principles. What they did was tuning their complete musical equipment for each track on a special tuning of one planet. Each general tuning of one track on the album is determined by the corresponding "planetar frequency" of a planet of our solar system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Radical Chill Out is an open project of the artist collective RCO initiated by Dr. Motte and Gabriel Le Mar.

The RCO sound production concept of this debut is based on a special selection of public domain sounds, which in an experimental manner are core elements of the tracks that invite us into an electronic listening sound journey.

The first three tracks in the initial phase of the album flow meditavely into ambient spheres and bring weightlessness and deceleration, while the other tracks are more condensed organically and inspired by grooves.

The tracks surprise with downbeat and mid tempo grooves and cut-up techniques. The Swiss mathematician and musicologist Hans Cousto is heard in "The Rise" and in "The Fall". Hans wrote books about the cosmic octave, which compares all the vibrations in space with each other. This gave rise to the possibility to map planetary rotations and molecular vibrations to octave-analoglous tones and rhythms. He applied the law of the octave beyond the rhythm range to all ranges of vibrations and gives deeper insights into our music made on earth.

Cult author, psychonaut and scientist Terence McKenna is heard on €žcutnotree-mix€œ.

With their perfect mix of eclectic sample manipulations and a sense of musical excitement, Dr. Motte and Gabriel Le Mar are with €žRadical Chill Out on the electronic pulse of our time and create their own soundtrack to this movie.

Fever EP (12 " vinyl))
Artist: Dr. Motte meets Gabriel Le Mar
Release: Fever (PRZ018)
Release Date: 2013, Dec

 

Everyone knows of course that the main driving force behind the label PRAXXIZ is one of Germanys earliest Techno supporters, innovators and ultimately icons Dr. Motte. Maybe Fever are aware of his love of and involvement with the various genres of Electronic Music. A collaboration between himself and Gabriel Le Mar expertly brings together elements of both ends of the Techno/Electronica spectrum, lovingly creating a fusion that may well be the strongest release yet on PRAXXIZ. Their track Zikade appears on the new Dr. Motte - "Monstermix Vol. 2" Compilation in June 2015.

Japans Techno legend Ken Ishii transformed the originally deep character of 'Zikade' into an ultimate floorfiller with solid sounds and delicate accents. Also the German Eric Sneo skillfully re-worked this track and left his unique mark on it.

Pascal Feos (R.i.P Bro) aised the temperature of 'Fever' with deep Techno grooves plus Chicago and Detroit sounds. PRAXXIZ remix contest winner DJ Sur from Houston Texas pushed the envelope and created a funky-fresh version with some experimental elements. Ken Ishii`s Remix of Zikade appears on the new Mayday Compilation "Making Friends".

Puttin' On The Green Hat

taking the sound of it`s prodecessor one step further 


Dr. Motte meets Gabriel Le Mar - Puttin' On The Green Hat 
incl. remix by Nihil Young 
vinyl 12" 
Label: PRAXXIZ  

 


Children of their time "Dr. Motte" and "Gabriel Le Mar" started in the early 80`s mixing electronic music, focussing on the pure aspects of dance. Still following that path that led them together searching for the "soul in the machines", the music lovers are playing with the various settings inside their electronic devices to get the sound and atmosphere they were after for.
 

 

 

 

 

Puttin' OnThe Green Hat draws its energy from the deepest suspense of earthy bass drums, playing and twirling effortless tech-house rhythm. Hypnotic spoken-word from Mantombe Matotiyani (Amampondo) leads with a headstrong, bewildering vocal, like the singing of a shaman through a deep trance. A track like the heat dancing on the horizon in the heart of Africa. Pure life energy conducted through every single tone and united like a magical formula of music and dance.

The green hat is a part of a creative technique from Edward de Bono, known as the "Thinking Hat" or also "6 Thinking Hats". Every hat has a different color and has a different meaning:

The red hat - emotional thinking
The black hat - critical thinking
The yellow hat - optimistic thinking
The white hat - analytical thinking
The blue hat - ordered, moderated thinking
The green hat - creative thinking 


The aim is the solution of a task from every point of view and thereby reaching the best possible result. The green hat as a "symbol of creativity and ideas" is mirrored in the remix-concept. For the first three, the venerable master of electronic dance music has consciously brought together artists with different styles and influences.


The beginning is brought to you by his Italian associate Nihil Young who has released a number of EP's and albums on his label Frequenza Records among which are "Rave - O - Lution" with Alex D'elia. In late summer the release of Thomas Lizzara's (Ostfunk Rec.Berlin) version along with Ingo Boss (Cocoon Recordings). Added to that there is in September the POTGH remix contest, whereby 2 further versions will complete the "6-piece collection".
