PAPER 012CD
|
"Jake Fairley (b. 1977) has been making techno music in his home town of Toronto, Canada since the late '90s. He has released many records known for their original and rocking style for labels such as Kompakt, DumbUnit and Sender. Touch Not The Cat is Jake Fairley's first full length release in over two years and brings together and draws from every project and release from throughout his career; yet still taking his music to the next level. Many different ideas and sounds are brought together for the first time to create an album that is extremely catchy, danceable and unmistakably Jake. His trademark straight and dirty beats are pitted against the shuffle riffery of T. Rex, the tense monotone of Lou Reed and the distorted pop of The Misfits. His music is the happy combo of vintage Suicide and plugged in Pyschic TV."

"Jake Fairley has given it his all once again coming out of a stint in German exile. He left nothing untouched to please Sender fans. This was again accomplished well in the face of temporary home sickness. A majestically throbbing bass line builds the basis for the a-side 'Foreigner'. The Sender rave is off and running with marching snares and an ultra-crisp breakdown. It could be called rustling stadium techno funk of the highest grade. Jake Fairley makes the impossible possible on 'Blood From A Stone' by fusing the gigantic rave with the small sweaty club in an arty kinda way. Apparently, Fairley has found a little island in between Toronto, Berlin, and Cologne that drives him with strong inspiration."

SENDER 026EP

"Jake Fairley, the unquieted deliverer of heart-warming techno tracks, has done it again: his new 12" Going Down the Road throws us three of these unforgettable
intensive tracks before our feet, which emote the typical Fairley suction force onto the dance floor. The title Going Down The Road comes from a Canadian cult movie that has to do with travel on the roads and highways of Canada. The A-side's 'The Rock' makes its way with easy force and brittle rock planes, simultaneously uncompromising and emotive. The A2 track, 'Highway 10', swings under its porous surface incomparably lax and uninterested in letting you loose. On the B-side there hides 'Oshawa' that some might have heard on Fairley's crisis CD from 2002. Now 'Oshawa' is available on wax for all the dj's and vinyl-junkies out there. Until now it was merely released as a promo B-side which DJ's like Sven Väth and Laurent Garnier shot into clubs worldwide. Jake Fairley combines almost sacral strings with his charming hypnotic funk. A bass line chugs steadfast underneath it all, getting by with what's necessary to make the last few heads flip out."

"Berlin based Sender Records releases with Crisis the first long player by Canadian Techno artist Jake Fairley. This album shows the broad range of Fairley's style from funky Techno to deep, minimal TechHouse and ambient tracks. All this is tied closed together by Fairley's charming attitude towards his music. Crisis is Jake Fairley's most sophisticated production so far and an exiting piece of music."
