Dan Curtin: Letting The Light In On LIFEBLOOD

There was no hiding from the buzz, clap and rush of Dan Curtin’s ‘Lifeblood’ album launch this Saturday, as rhythm lovers danced knee-deep in kinetic grooves and hypnotic dancefloor minimalism. Taking over Room Two, the Mobilee crew are one of Berlin’s most recognizable brands; uncompromisingly unique, they keep the family vibe at its core, building on the talents of a small group of artists including Pan-Pot, Sebo K, Exercise One, all lead by the fearless and faithful head honchos, Anja Schneider and Ralf Kollmann.

With nine album releases under his belt, Dan’s tireless thirst for sonic innovation has seen him mark down on labels, Strictly Rhythm, Sublime, Paper, Nepenta, Down Low and Rush Hour. With this being his first LP in three years, the Midwestern native has outdone himself, showing music-heads a potency of the house and techno genre and what it’s truly capable of. Taking time out from his ‘Lifeblood’ tour, Dan reflects on his latest workings, linking a selection of tracks to a kindred representation of artistic snap shots that will provoke unexpected emotions, moods and ideas. Drawing upon the grabbing and controversial ‘Zeitgeist’ documentary that purports to tell the real truth about Christianity, 9/11, and the International Bankers, he also strips it back to his roots in hip hop production and for the grand finale, he shows us the golden video for the dynamite release, ‘Mr Bean Do an E.’ Yes you heard us right, this is Rowan Atkinson at his best, teaching us some world-class moves that we hope to see you trying out on fabric's floor very soon.
