Marking a difference with the previous releases, the sixth chapter of the birdsmakingmachine saga comes as a two-tracker, announcing a special double pack that will be divided between BMM005 and BMM006. The A-side of BMM 005, >Icaros<, is an elegant dancefloor warmer that encompasses all the signature ingredients of the birds, dreamy pads, jazzy hi-hats, metallic percussive elements and quirky Fx touches. On the flip side we find >Inland Sickness<, a slightly darker affair fusing together eerie pads, whooshing sound effects, forming an intricate net of sound layers with a refined industrial touch but still bringing the pressure to the floor with a solid drum pattern. BMM 005 is yet another example of the Birds’ ability to craft miniature grooves with an attitude.

Keeping in line with the trademark birdsmakingmachine sound, comes the fifth release on
their self-entitled label: BMM 004. With a more straight-to-the-point approach than its
predecessor, the EP starts off on the dance floor, with rumbling bass lines and heavy
metallic snares juggling with effects-laden delicacies on the A1’s “Ahora Vengo”. The
arrival of “Ash but not Arthur” on the A2 calms things down bit and takes the listener for
a gentle journey through ambient pads and cleverly swinging hi hats, while on the flip,
things get a little more bouncy in “Oscar’s Critical Jack”, which is mostly due to the fact
its main ingredient – the solid playful bass line – blends effortlessly with the higher
frequency ‘spices’, keys, strings and rhythmic parts. The end credits roll down with
“Bonfume”, another relatively smooth yet jacking swinger that could either be used to
kick it up a notch in a warm-up set or be danced to while finding yourself at an afterhour.

Label: BirdsMakingMachine
Cat.: BMM003
Release: 2013

Hot on the heels of BMM 002 comes the latest instalment of the birdsmakingmachine series – BMM 003 – a package combining their signature sine-bass laden grooves, steel drums and oblique melodies. >Antonios Swing<, as the title indicates, literally swings listeners into its rhythm with dark vocal snippets layered onto soft stabs and eerie melodies. >Woodpeckers<, on the a2, takes a more linear approach, an effective dj-friendly tool that will please dancefloors in the late hours of the night/early hours of the morning. On the flip, in >Silk Road< we find a captivating, yet mysteriously funky minimal house affair that builds and builds until finally erupting following the break. The EP is rounded-off with >Dead Lines<, a broken themed galloping of bass kicks fused into moody melodies and reverberated far cries, resembling a genuine excavation into the depths of house music – another example that the Birds are always trying to redefine the genres boundaries.

For its third chapter, Half Baked Records presents an EP from the producers collective of BirdsMakingMachine. The Birds stay true to their sound, a clever balance between ethereal atmospheres and swinging minimal house production.
The first track of the A side, “King Pulga”, is a special futuristic piece, elegantly balancing trippy heady melodies, a driving groove and melancholic chords, a true journey.
The second track, “Gnip Gnop”, is a stripped down jazzy tool with a more classic deep house approach, multi layered fxs and delayed chords that will hypnotize you.
Remix duty comes from Japanese Techno don, Fumiya Tanaka, scrambling and relocking the elements in a clockwork groove that will no doubt unfold his full potential on club systems.
