02.06.09 - Blank Artists Four Year Anniversary

BLNK-13 - V/A - Primates Love Fun - Blank Artists - Cummings, Dahlberg, Codine

Artist: Various
Title: Primates Love Fun
Label: Blank Artists
Format: Digital
Cat.No.: BLNK-13
Release date: 13.01.2009

Tracklisting

01 Josh Cummings - Morning Birds
02 Josh Dahlberg - Cut and Run
03 Codine - Eleven Evergreen

Primates Love Fun is the second installment of the sporadic but ongoing Loves Fun compilation series from Blank Artists. The series explores the idea of electronic music sans ego; in a fictional world where the only thing that matters is that you love fun. For this installment we bring back our two favorite Joshes; Cummings and Dahlberg as well as label mainstay Codine.

Cummings’ track Morning Birds sets the tone with dream-evoking textures and delayed chirps typical of a Midwestern American spring or summer morning. Rich, thick synth arpeggios drive the track, making it as danceable as it is cognitively captivating.

Dahlberg’s contribution to the compilation, Cut and Run, is a bass-heavy roller, which is accentuated by delayed synth attacks and heady rhythms. This track is a serious moody floor stomper.

Eleven Evergreen is a nod to classic EBM while simultaneously stepping forward, further cementing the sound that makes up Erik Cronin’s Codine moniker. Coming off of the acclaimed Blue Room EP, we felt compelled to give the people what they want; more Codine.

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
