AFrijsfo Treats 5 – Point.B»

06/02/12

The fifth in our series of free music from Frijsfo Beats artists is a real treat, and comes in the form of a live recording from one of Point B’s most recent shows. It was at Bristol’s legendary underground club Cosies, where he, DJ Oslek, and Sclist came together to launch his new album ‘The Veld‘. One of the seemingly few electronic musicians who actually performs his music live in a club setting rather than just mixing tracks on a laptop, this has been an important part of Point B’s creative process for years. Testing out new ideas, beats, and melodies on the fly, he takes inspiration from club crowds and sound-systems before tweaking and twisting them into full tracks later on in the studio.

ASFO016 – Point B – The Veld»

23/01/12
Buy Digital.

Richard Bultitude AKA Point B is an unsung hero of electronic music. He has quietly but meaningfully honed his talent over almost a decade of releases, for labels including SCSI-AV, Erratica, Combat Recordings and Frijsfo Beats. While he has sensitively shifted the shape of his work the whole time, his identity as a producer has never faded from view. The Veld is his third full-length album, and the first by anyone to be released on Frijsfo.

The immediately noticeable fact about The Veld is that it’s a Point B record. That’s why it can sound sharply contemporary almost without the listener noticing. Think about it, and it’s clear a number of today’s more desirable influences are there, but without a hint of gimmickry. Bultitude handles the weight of classic and revitalised dubstep with intuitive balance, populating the music’s customary space with snatches of fascinating, exotic texture. Elsewhere he remoulds the low-end growl and frigid rhythm composition of Read More »

Released October 2011

*Resident Advisor review: “Conceptually, a release entitled The Established Order of Things could hint at everything in general and nothing in particular. However, the glistening, distorted environment that this UK bass-inclined EP generally evokes is quite specific; the four tracks here all doing something a little bit different while remaining part of the same general unsettling template. The slowed-down swing of “The Established Order” alternates between sharp-as-a-needle breaks and spacial incandescence. “Breeding Ground” is all low-end and rim shots, hinting at a lively car chase. “Grave Diction” sounds like a gruelling journey to the heart of the bass. It’s a robust track that blossoms when the synths wash around its core. “Spore Onion” isn’t that dissimilar, but the general tone is lighter, even though it’s augmented by spectral strings that could have accompanied Vincent Price on a killing spree.” (Paul Corey, Resident Advisor)

AFrijsfo Treats 4 – Cardopusher»

27/09/11


The fourth in our sporadic series of free music and sound give-aways is a straight up DJ set from the one and only Cardopusher. He recorded this mix for Frijsfo Beats in August, during a hectic summer otherwise spent performing throughout Europe and prolifically producing and promoting an incredibly strong string of original releases. Remarkably, Cardopusher has managed to release new music every month of 2011 so far, including Frijsfo favourite ’Yr Fifteen Minutes Are Up‘ on Tigerbeat6 (one of Read More »

Released September 2011

We welcomed Cardopusher to the label just last month, giving him the opening spot on the Frijsfo Beats Vol. 3 compilation. Based in Barcelona (but Venezuelan by birth) the producer is challenging the field of new garage and dubstep head on, blowing most out of the water with sheer grit and soul.

Aptly named, the Instant Loving EP includes the anthemic ‘Then What’ taken from Vol. 3. A club smasher in the most sophisticated sense, like the rest of the EP it’s a hybrid beast, engineered from elements of rugged techno soul and deep garage house. The memorable melody of ‘Instant Glue’ will jump-start any Read More »
