Sticking to an all-analogue machinebased strategy, Donadio has warped and stripped his palette to create a juddering force majeure across 5 tracks and 28 minutes of power play. With previous work on labels such as Mira and Spectrum Spools, Prostitutes has deconstructed Techno forms and re-invigorated 4\/4 structures to delirious, often psychedelic effect. Nouveauree can be viewed as a purge, a palette cleanser, a slab re-formed white-noise, bass-heavy kick drums and searing, improbable sampling. Mastered by James Plotkin and cut by Matt Colton, each sound and bar is perfectly placed for maximum stereo-field contamination. Opening stomper \"Late To Take It Light\" merges echoing, obfuscated sound with a doom-laden kick before collapsing into an analogue, almost-improvised climax. \"Hate's In The City\" ups the tempo with masterful, bass-heavy rhythm and faded static bursts before \"Punk In The Street\" jumps in, quite possibly the most audacious track of Prostitutes' career. A definite highlight, the track is infected with a deeply offensive horn sample that does battle with a rumbling, deafening drum machine, a battle that is decided with one of the most extreme 15 seconds waxed this year. Side 2 allows Donadio some breathing space, with \"Dragged It Home To Bed\" reveling in a more rolling rhythm punctuated with lush frequencies and expert filtering. \"So Goddamn Gaunt\" rounds off 'Nouveauree', a harking back to the classic Prostitutes sound, claustrophobic samples interspersing the tight, natural funk that Donadio has made his own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Night School","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":50467523002699,"sku":"379601","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/b77f2973-ef09-4a24-b1c8-cc6683cba026_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727338898"},{"product_id":"aluminium-garage","title":"Aluminium Garage","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince his 2015 Night School debut E.P. Nouveauree, James Donadio - aka Prostitutes – has been traveling stages and rigs from Los Angeles to Berlin, from prestigious festival slots to slimy Glasgow basements, burning his own path through the modern techno and electronic scenes. On Aluminum Garage, Donadio is at his most playful, laying down unmistakably mid-tempo BPM early-electro jams indebted to early sampling before crashing the soundsystem with frantic, detourned Gabber. Unlike his previous LP for Spectrum Spools or indeed his Night School debut which rankled with austerity and minimalism, here Prostitutes is instinctive, multi-layered and unashamedly, brilliantly borrowing from myriad genres. In past 3 years, Donadio has racked up critically praised releases on labels like Diagonal and CGI, refining his wares into a precise, bludgeoning toolkit that surprises and develops with each release. \u003ci\u003eAluminum Garage\u003c\/i\u003e creeps into life with \u003ci\u003eBorn Wanderer,\u003c\/i\u003e before a sub-heavy kick and bongo pattern blasts into a heavy break that feels like the earth moving from under your feet. With the utmost clarity, the track builds disparate layers – a white noise solo, warped sample piano chords straight from 1986 – into a Rave-o-matic climax, holding steady with the BPMs and immeasurably funky. Jah Elegant further blows apart any image we have of Prostitutes’ music as “austere” with a loping intro based on teased drum samples and a ghost MC. The Jungle break comes in by stealth before the heavy drop blasts the music into Drum and Bass momentum. It’s both blistering fun and undeniably cheeky, a driving track that cuts up Remarc on a dimly lit table in suburban Ohio. On Side 2, \u003ci\u003eErrant Seagull\u003c\/i\u003e takes the genre mess into techno territory though put through a heavily distorted grinder. Built around a skeleton of sampled bass guitar and thumping kick, the track layers drums upon drums, building in saturation until a searing synth strafes the criss-crossing rhythms. The effect is dizzying, insuring both a propellant, heavy forward motion and a grimey, angst-ridden climax. Before we’re at the end of the track, the stereo field is so filthy with distortion and analogue muck the listener is desperate for a palette cleanser. Final track \u003ci\u003eShroud of Cellophane\u003c\/i\u003e however, doesn’t let up. With a ramped up BPM we’re in a Cyberpunk Gabber club, nothing but 160 beats per minute, layers of frequency-tweaked noise and the light at the end of the tunnel racing towards us. It’s sweet oblivion and we’ve earned it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Night School","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":50467877060939,"sku":"1034170","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/767042ed-5885-40aa-800a-72fee55897f4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727342807"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_bded8e4f_thumbnail_4096_69cf6cb6-cfef-4fe0-aba8-f3ab0621d8c4.jpg?v=1727338878","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/prostitutes.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
