Fathersong is Rick Bull's eighth album release under his Deepchild moniker, arriving ten years after the former Berliner's Neukölln Burning album (Thoughtless Music). Exploring a shimmering post-dub vista, rich in granular textures, Fathersong draws influence and inspiration from contemporaries like Fennesz, Tim Hecker, Burial, and Vladislav Delay. Unshackled from the percussive undertow of previous albums, the album's palette nonetheless displays the familiar, sensual pulse of Bull's musical aesthetic.

TRAPEZ 107EP
|
Deepchild fires out more tracks on Trapez with Fire. "Fire" is deep techno with enough passion to drown every dancefloor in sweat and tears, combining Miami bass and New York house with new school techno in a vibrant mix. Every time Deepchild's vocals kick in, it sounds like Jim Morrison has spoken. Butch's remix of "Backroom" is a techno-rocker that knows how to work big bass-lines, keeping them smooth and fat.

TRAPEZ 103EP
|
Deepchild writes bass-heavy machine-music for broken people, disjointed booty-bass for backroom dreamers fuelled with sweat, jackin' funk and tears. "Backroom" is such a track -- warm, raw, urgent and sensual. His mish-mash of deep Detroit futurism, Southern crunk and forgotten space-disco cut with a rusty razorblade of German tech-minimalism and filtered through odd analog equipment is truly a secret formula. "Death Panel My Ass Ms. Palin" features tricky production, cool vocal snippets, cool effects overdubs and a deep easiness.

FCL 1203EP
|
Featuring a very desirable Luomo remix. "Australian producer Deepchild epitomises the concept of a 'future classic' with 'Blackness of the Sea,' a dancefloor burner with a conscience. The track oozes soul with stunning vocals that speak of the power of music in these troubled times, set atop a tough, tasty warm house groove. Lifetime is another winner, minimal and more chilled with a killer bassline and great production, cementing Deepchild's reputation as a unique talent to watch. On the flip Finnish producer Luomo remixes 'Blackness of the Sea' one handed with seven titanium pins and screws in his left shoulder after a recent car accident, resulting in an emotive deep house masterpiece full of movement and reminiscent of his early work on Vocalcity. It's rare that the reality of the world finds its way into dance music, more so when the results are as compelling as this."
