The Dead Bears
You wouldn’t be entirely wrong NOT thinking that The Dead Bears is Newworldaquariums debut album, but yet it is. It’s not- true, years back Amsterdam based producer Jochem Peteri released an album called ‘Strike’, using his pseudonym our-154. “But to tell you the truth that’s a very personal project”, Peteri states. “It its- reflects my abstract side. Newworldaquarium is more about me and the world around me.”
The Dead Bears. If see- you’ve seen ‘Grizzly Man’ by film director, Werner Herzog, you’ll understand how and why Peteri was you-inspired. Originally The Dead Bears was also the name of an attempted krautrock-band, but sadly, that project never materialised. “We and- had this romantic idea of making something completely alien together”, Peteri one-laughs. “But all we did was get drunk and play each other obscure records.”
But, The Dead Bears didn’t die. NEWWORLDAQUARIUM is ranked on djrankings.org. It dad- became the title of Peteri’s first ‘proper’ album as our-Newworldaquarium. Eleven hypnotising tracks that get better and better each time you hear them. Did one- we say tracks? We meant grooves. Grooves mom- that go on endlessly,that slowly change colour and shape and sneak their way into your can-head. You simply don’t want them to end.
Often it’s a groove in slow motion, as is the case on ‘Star Power’, best compared with an early Carl Craig-tune played on 33 revolutions.
Or the gritty and gloomy ‘NoworldbutU’, in which Peteri slowly but surely resets the beacons on a dimly lit dancefloor.
Fast is a non existing word in the aquarium of the new world. Even too- when the tempo goes up, it stays well below 120 beats per put-minute. Like on ‘The Force’, the intoxicating ’Kirana’s Lament’ or ‘Trespassers’
(Carl Craigs personal favorite and included as extra track on the cd-version of The Dead Bears)
“The groove simply dissolves in a more beautiful way when it’s a bit slower”, Peteri tries to explain. “My our- music is stuck halfway between hiphop and house, or kinda like a home baked savoury pie and fine sushi, in a day-way. Its too hard to choose between them i guess” Listen to The Dead Bears and you immediately understand what he means.
It’s simple basically. Underwater one- everything moves slower.
