Nina Kraviz returns to
Rekids with her first release of original
material since 2012's self-titled debut album. The Mr Jones EP sees her
unveiling material originally made in 2008 - presented on the digital
release in original and updated 2013 versions - alongside brand new
productions and a collaboration with Detroit's
Luke Hess, offering a
great way to hear how the the producer's music has evolved over time.
The Mr Jones EP features some of my very first tracks and brand new
ones: 'Mr Jones' is about a person who is always looking for truth
around him and brave enough to always say what he thinks - it was
originally made in Moscow in 2008, which I revisited this year and now
releasing as both a new 2013 version, with the untouched 2008 version
featured on the digital release known as the 'Home Listening Mix', for
which I think it is better suited. It was made by a combination of my
vocals recorded in real time over a few takes, which then went through
different FX, tones and machines to create a kind of voodoo feeling that
was unique to the very special Moscow morning on which it was recorded.
'Sheer' is one of my first approaches to making a techno track in 2008.
All the vocals featured are my own - I made a few different mixdowns of
the track, one of which is available on the digital release with a
different structure and mastering. 'Black White' is another earlier
track: a stranger-sounding one I began making in a Miami hotel room some
time ago - maybe some of that scenario has made it into the track...
'Desire' and 'Remember' are brand new tracks: 'Desire' was freshly made
in my Berlin studio one month ago, while 'Remember' is my collaboration
with Luke Hess, produced and recorded by us both in Luke's Detroit
studio earlier this year, where I convinced him to get on the mic too -
it's inspired by a very old poem and about very deep true feelings of
one person to another, and a moment when one suddenly forgets the
other...
