VARIOUS (JAMES ZABIELA)
'UTILITIES'
RENAISSANCE
2x12"/2CD
(JULY 2005)
James Zabiela continues to prove he is at the forefront of DJing with this double CD mix, devoting one disc to the much publicised Ableton technology, mixed entirely off computer; whilst he goes totally live on the second using three CD decks, samplers and EFX units. The tracklist includes James Zabiela’s incredible debut single ‘Robophobia’ plus cuts and remixes from Aphex Twin, Infusion, Buick Project, Trentemoller, Montero and many more…
A debate is raging within the world of dance music – what is the future of DJing? Three partisan camps have emerged: vinyl, CD and totally digital, using computer technology. In short, the modern DJ has more options as to how to mix than ever before. Quite remarkable when you consider but five short years ago three decks were considered a novelty.
Along the way there have been defining moments in this development; an outstanding example was 2004's 'Alive' album by James Zabiela, the compilation being the first to truly highlight just what can be done using three CDJs (the CD equivalent of a turntable) and an EFX unit. It even came with a short CD-ROM film demonstrating the totally live trickery that was employed. A year on and James Zabiela once again joins forces with Renaissance for the follow-up. Given his well-documented love and support of the CDJ, you'd think that a further homage to the joys of CD mixology would be in order, but in part, you'd be wrong.
Aware of the long-running debate over formats, James hit upon his own unique idea to separate the technologies and let people draw their own conclusions. 'Utilities' two discs therefore come as "Computed" and "Recorded". As the names suggest, one uses the much publicised Ableton technology and has been recorded entirely on computer, whilst the other makes a welcome return to last years format of CDJs, samplers and an EFX unit.
But lets not forget that beyond the mixing techniques, James distinct musical style remains at the heart of the album. In a further move to distinguish the follow-up he also chose 'Utilities' to be the platform to showcase his very first foray into the world of original production. The result is two incredible cuts – 'Robophobia' and 'EyeAMComputer', which are currently causing mayhem on dancefloors round the world with which this latest mix compilation shares its name, with both formats containing a further track 'Skanksuary' and, in true JZ style, a suite of 15 samples and sounds taken from all three tracks, and also the intro to this very album.
Beyond his own productions James draws on a host of current talent, including the previously unavailable Kriece remix of Aphex Twin's 'Windowlicker' and tracks and remixes from Infusion, Buick Project, Trentemoller, Lee Coombs, Montero and many more unknown and overlooked future classics that comprise this forward thinking compilation.
