Will Long: Long Trax | 3 Multi-Disc 12" Vinyl Sets & x2CD | Aug. 19-Sep. 26 | C.026 | Boomkat Distribution (vinyl) We live in an era when 'change' is a soundbite to sell more of the same old ideas, and 'revolution' has more to do with social trends than social transformation. Will Long's deep house debut on Comatonse Recordings examines that pack of lies dubbed 'change' from the sweaty dancefloor, sounding the aftermath of failure around attempts at equality in 'progressive' societies. Made with a simple setup of rhythm composer percussion, polyphonic synth chords, and rack sampler vocals, these tracks have a minimal rawness that contends we've been wrong the whole time about how far the US - and the world - has come. Although these tracks are sonically unlike anything Long has produced as Celer or his other aliases for minimal and ambient experiemental audio, they share a stripped-yet-full sound that reacts against overproduction - within the dance music industry, and societies at large. Each track is accompanied by an overdub from DJ Sprinkles, and the packaging features illustrations by Tsuji Aiko. The project will initially be released as a series of three multi-disc vinyl sets (two x2 EP sets and one x3 EP set, seven discs in all), followed by a double CD release with poster. Coming soon to comatonse.com, Will's online shop and Boomkat. Release Schedule:
