Yup I'm currently living in Orange County, but im making the move out to SF this month to goto school at USF. I'm excited to live in SF as I've dreamed of it since I was a wee lad. I think seeing Fairmont is gonna be the best way to kick off my arrival in the city :) |

Description
Growing up under the influence of the skateboard and indie rock scene in his hometown of Toronto, the path to techno stardom was not always an obvious one for Canada's Fairmont (aka Jake Fairly). Although he first began dabbling with the electronic side back in 1995, a lack of like-minded friends meant that techno was to remain a private passion until 1999, when local techno don Jeremy Caulfield first encountered one of his live sets. Caulfield was impressed by Jake's physical live show, and his unique take on techno borne out of that initial isolation, and promptly signed him up for the first release on his fledgling Dumb-Unit label. During this early part of his career, as well as releasing tracks under his birth name Jake Fairley also tried on a number of different project aliases, of which Fairmont was just one - allbeit one which spawned a whole album release. In 2002 the highly-respected Cologne label Traum released Fairmont's 'Paper Stars', a lovable, personal album of bedroom electronica which brought a touch of romance and subtlety to the techno format. The project seduced a cult following (including none other than the Pet Shop Boys, who opened their 'Back to Mine' compilation with a Fairmont number), but the project was then placed temporarily on hold to focus on other projects.
2005 saw Jake hook up with emergent UK label Border Community to release the 'Gazebo' / 'Gazelle' double-header and embracing his sensitive side once more, but this time with a slightly stronger kick and an even stronger sense of melody. 'Gazebo' soon took on a life of its own, evolving into the sort of club monster that causes the crowd to fly into raptures at the merest hint of the opening refrain. The once elusive Fairmont softer side had been transformed into a serious club concern, and the everlush melodies were now imbued with a new dancefloor sensibility as Jake took the once clubshy Fairmont live show on the road for the first time.
But now the time has come for the artist to step out from behind the shadow of the massive club hit, witthe release of 'Coloured In Memory' on Border Community, the second album under the Fairmont moniker (and Jake's fourth longplayer overall). The 2007 update of the Fairmont sound showcases the true depth and variety of Jake Fairley's talent, uniting his trademark driving analogue machine-funk with intimate, hypnotic vocals, elasticated rhythms, woozy, warm interludes and drugged out highs, with the iconic dongs of discordance and stretchy synths of remarkable new single 'Flight of the Albatross' acting as a fitting precursor of things to come. From the demented-surf-rock-electro of 'Bikini Atoll' and the wobbly Velvets heroin-drone-trance of 'I Need Medicine' to the mellow folk-hop of 'Calm Before The Storm' and the spacey apocalyptic low end of John Carpenter-esque 'Sedatives for the Sentimental', it is perhaps the less obviously classifiable tracks and the more deviant moments of 'Coloured in Memory' where the album truly shines and the broad scope of Jake's vision is revealed. The Fairmont live show meanwhile is currently on the road across Europe and beyond...

I posted this on the Incognito already:
Rizo, I'll download that 3 hour set. Thank you! :)
I already have that vessel set, and imo, it's more mellow than his usual style (from other darker/harder sets I've heard from him). |
