BODYCODE LIVE
Alan Abrahams has earned a lot of attention lately - a native South African now living in Lisbon, Portugal, his albums as Portable for the Background and ~scape imprints have garnered near-universal acclaim for their deft fusion of tribal rhythms and a modern micro-house sensibility. For his first LP as Bodycode, Abrahams focuses on the more dancefloor-oriented aspects of his style, yielding a gorgeous album born from the belief that the psyche can be unlocked via the body.
Bodycode also came from necessity - while on tour playing club dates, Abrahams was compelled to seek the most fitting sound for that environment. Fittingly, the coy female vocal samples of "Gene Patch" and "Hand Free Computer Interface" suggest disco divas while a signature attention to detail underscores their powerful central rhythms. Tracks like "Local Traffic", on the other hand, build graceful rhythmic webs upon dozens of digital squelches, fully conscious of their capacity for psychological manipulation. Remarkably adept at its task, Bodycode's mesmerizing percussive arrangements and subtle melodic flourishes create an immediately engaging sound that lingers in the mind long after the club has closed.
