KluB MiX!33

Description

This album will only ever be available on Vinyl and Limited to 300 copies. Six by seven KluBMix33 is a unique album. In April 2013 Chris Olley started his MuZiK KluB, which was a way of funding and being able to artistically manage his own vision for his musical and creative output. Every month Olley would sell his demos and his stories and photographs in an exclusive artistic package, handmade and individually signed and numbered to each buyer. During this period Olley released over 60 songs and several mini albums before re-recording and mixing tracks to compile an album which he felt captured a dark and intense uplifting sound, a sound which was to be reminiscent of the 80s Blitzclub, but then again, nothing like it. I wanted to feel lonely and detached when I made the music for this record, so it felt like I felt when I was 15, when I first fell in love with music properly. The music of that time was all the early synth stuff and it felt cold and industrial but pure and melodic too. I forced myself into solitude so I could get on with the task of self examination. I wanted it to be six by seven but I wanted it to be free from six by seven and free from the temptation to just follow on from what had gone before. I wanted detatchment, detatchment and tranquility. CHRIS OLLEY // Recorded entirely onto a Tascam 8 track recorder through an SSL Desk, with only guitars and vintage analogue synthesizer, its a new sound, its six by seven firing on all cylinders, in a dark basement club, jamming with Bauhaus and Fad Gadget and early Kraftwerk. At times the record is sparse and melodic and other times, tracks like the 9 minute Stealth Wind and the gargantuan Master Race are as heavy as or even heavier than any six by seven songs before. As promised, everyone who bought a MuZiK KluB release was given a credit on the album as executive producer.
