bonez99er Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Chinese Laundry are proud to welcome back French wunderkind SURKIN!!Since playing his first ever show in Sydney at Chinese Laundry in 2007, we’ve seen Surkin rocket to mega stardom, and now returns to Chinese laundry as one of the most highly regarded producer/djs out of the French house fold.As a former four-to-the-floor hater (rap was all he cared for until 2003!), Surkin got into dance music through Detroit ghettotech, and thanks to P2P sharing in the community he started to dig deeper into club music, focusing on Miami Bass, Chicago ghetto-(and non) house music. Originally from the South of France, the now Paris-based Surkin dropped out of art school only a few years ago to pursue music, and he hasn’t looked back.Since then he has played everywhere, from small clubs and warehouses, to huge festivals (Fuji Rock, Good Vibrations, Primavera, Coachella – twice! - Stereosonic, SummerSonic...) across North America, Europe, UK, Australia and Japan. As a DJ, he’s known for his quicksilver, transistorical mixing style, layering hysterical vocal house, cubist tracky UK bass, French touch sounds and US ghetto cuts. He’s also a noted remixer (Boys Noize, Klaxons, Paul Johnson, Foals, Justice, The Juan Maclean...) and was asked in 2009 to reinterpret the score of one of his favorite games, Bionic Commando (Capcom). In 2011 when their label Institubes shut shop, Surkin joimned forces with Bobmo Para One to set up their own label, Marble, championing a sound combining a straight forward four-to-the-floor ethos with more disjointed, yet hyper proficient grooves. Apart from themselves – they form a trio called Marble Players who already did two critically acclaimed EPs, and High Powered Boys – they quickly signed upcoming producers Sam Tiba, Canblaster and Myd, from the Club Cheval crew. In October, Marble will release Surkin’s highly anticipated debut album, just called USA. It’s a stunning, exuberant record, working perfectly on dancefloors but also while driving the city or hanging in the streets. It’s a phantasmagorical, epic record, based on imaginary memories of eighties urban America, a world Surkin has only known through pop culture and other distorted perceptions. So it’s clearly not about paying servile homage to some lost and mourned era, and all about activating personal aural fantasies of a past that’s actually never happened. Surkin is basically doing extreme customizing of existing sounds, adding his euphoric touch to early house, NYC freestyle, Miami bass or YMO electropop. And the result is an exhilarating ride into a novelty-rammed soundscape.
