BLNK-11 | Codine - Blue Room | Digital | 11.18.08
“Blue Room” is a popular release from The Orb to be sure and, yes they are living legends in their own rite. However Blue Room is also the sophomore release from Codine on Blank Artists and, for our purposes here, that’s what we’re concerned with. First you’ll notice the elements: the perfectly placed percussion, sensual synth subsets, and energy that uniquely make the sound of Erik Cronin’s Codine moniker. As an extension of that sound, the originals on this release epitomize those aforementioned characteristics but in uniquely nondescript ways. So what do you do when you have two tracks that utilize two distinct modes of operation to make dance floors jump off? Get two equally talented but very different remixers to offer their interpretations of the songs, of course.
Cue now Brian Kage and Jared Wilson. Two very different individuals with two equally unique perspectives on dance music. Brian’s remix of Blue Room is a heightened version of the original, serving up a huge bass line and rich textures certain to send you into a groove that’ll be making you beg for a rewind. In other words, this is a serious floor burner that has seen position in top DJ’s playlists all over. Jared’s mix of Background Music is an “analog-centric” endeavor that chugs on through systematically adding and subtracting synth patterns, making it heady and intoxicating.

Codine in Real Detroit Weekly
The Electorate
by Adriel
Erik Cronin, also known as Codine, grew up in Detroit’s Downriver community. The young Cronin learned piano from family members, which laid the foundation for his classical training in bass and guitar. He soon found inspiration in the irresistible electronic music emanating from Detroit in the early-to-mid-'90s. “Instead of spending my time practicing with bands, I was programming drum machines and sequencing synths for hours every day,” says Cronin.
After a brief stint working security for St. Andrew’s Hall, Codine worked in promotions for Mission: Detroit. Through that organization and DetroitLuv, Codine’s music was introduced to a wider audience. Inspired by IT, Cronin created an alias for his electronic productions, borrowing the name of a computing/distributing system called Codine (not to be confused with the drug codeine) and began releasing music on various labels.
In 2008, D Records released a Beatport-exclusive digital track on The Melting Point compilation. His upcoming release, Blue Room, comes out in November and features remixes from Jared Wilson and Brian Kage.
You can catch Codine this Friday at the Park Bar in Detroit. | RDW

D015 The Melting Point - Various Artists
....
Always a furnace of creative activity on the musical tip, Detroit
shines on this newest release from D Records, D015 - THE
MELTING POINT. We are pleased to introduce 5 new artists to
the D Records roster, many of whom already have long histories
of releasing on other labels...
TRACK BREAKDOWN:
KAGE "you're glue"
Beginning with sounds evoking the repetitive motions of a
robot factory and evolving into a bassline driven track that
could rock any large room around the world, Kage's first track
on D brings the thunder.
listen here
CHUCK FLASK "detroit nights"
This track has long been in the virtual crates of much of the
extended family of Paxahau and the Movement festival,
receiving accolades all over the world. A simple but powerful
bassline combined with a screeching siren that seems to
surround your soul combine to destroy the dance floor.
listen here
CODINE "missing pieces"
Connecting with the original blueprint and sound of Detroit
Techno, "missing pieces" has a driving drum track with powerful
synth lines in the foreground, reminiscent of analog synths.
listen here
ERIC JOHNSTON "loitering at home depot"
The weirdness. A perfect 4am track with evolving subtleties of
the click and the pop, atonal ghost organ melodies, and a deep
piano chord thrown in for good measure.
listen here
JOSH DAHLBERG "to malaysia"
The feel good track of D015. A slight house feel is overlayed
with traditional min-tech weirdness of percussion and short
samples tweaked and transformed over time.
listen here
KEITH KEMP "buoyancy compensator"
Get ready to feel like you are continuously on the edge of...
something. A slippery and rubber-like synth moves from hangin
tough with the bass line into lead man position with no effort.
listen here
CHUCK FLASK "here we go again"
Reminiscent of a happy summer afternoon at some points and
your deepest moments of afterparty bliss at others, this track is
a sure crowd pleaser for many different times.
