Video Premiere: Fostercare – Sunfreeze (Refix).

February 3, 2011, 1 comments

Hailing from the darkest streets of Brooklyn, Marc Jason aka Fostercare delivered some brilliant, considerably gloomy stuff via Disaro and Clan Destine last year, making him one of the most exciting exponents of that certain genre whose name is banned from these pages. In any case, Marc hit us up with exciting news the other day, announcing a new label he has set up to release a few artists a year, thereby focusing on music “that is experimental and works outside of a singular genre, while also having a distinctly pop aesthetic”, which sounds more than noteworthy to us. The first work dropped via JI9X is Refixes, a collection of Fostercare material that’s been, well, “refixed”, which in the artist’s description means that the jams have been reworked to make them more complex and to add a “screwed rave aesthetic”. Considering the terrific result re Sunfreeze, the title track of last year’s EP on Disaro, he has obviously been successful, as his Blown Out Refix is five minutes of deepest black that nonetheless makes you wanna dance in strange ways, and hasn’t this kind of music always been all about that in essence?

Below, watch the exclusive premiere of the video for the refix of Sunfreeze, an adequately dark piece that indeed is terrifying by all means, a flickering, restless collage of all nightmares you possibly had as of late. You probably shouldn’t watch this right before going to sleep. We’ve warned you.
