[review:]
Als Kitty, Daiy & Lewis vor zwei Jahren ihr erstes Album als "78rpm hard-back Record Album" raus brachten, dachte ich, scheiße, jetzt brauchste n neuen Plattenspieler mit 78 rpm. Seit das berliner Label Equinox eine Scheibe nach der anderen raus haut, die man nicht einfach nach einmaligem Hören wieder einpacken kann, dachte ich, scheiße, wo kriegste jetzt n Plattenspieler mit Repeatfunktion her. Jetzt isses wieder soweit, 'Breadth Control' von DAVID VANGEL, dem kanadischen Producer mit griechisch-mazedonischen Wurzeln, schreit danach, stundenlang auf Repeat zu laufen. Die Entdeckungsreisen, auf die dich die 13 Stücke (ver-)führen, wollen einfach nicht enden. 'Breadth Control' ist nicht einfach der zigste Aufguss von Samples gemischt mit instrumentierten Passagen, sondern eine geniale Weiterführung von dem was 4Hero vor Jahren mit TWO PAGES angefangen haben. Nicht so ganz so jazzig und Drum&Bass lastig, aber mit Anteilen davon und noch mehr, bis hin zu psychdelischen Krautrockelementen. Inhale an Exhale , hear and enjoy... Wer sich diese Reise entgehen lässt, ist selber schuld. Und wir dürfen gespannt sein auf welche Reisen uns DAVID VANGEL noch mitnehmen wird, es soll da noch einiges in der Pipeline sein, was bald erscheinen soll. Gigs sind momentan leider nicht angesagt, wir warten mit 'Breadth Control' auf Repeat. Das weiße Vinyl ist liebevoll und aufwendig verpackt und gestaltet.   Kaufen!

presse:
'Breadth Control' a mind altering affair loaded with emotive melodies, explosive dynamics, and savage gauntlets of fierce drum programming. Raising the bar, the 13-track collection is a fusion of sampling and live instrumentation, including elements of hiphop, jazz, indie rock, electronic, gentle psychedelia, and even world music. A musical experience that is the intermingling of genres, the debut LP is the future of electronic music from the brain of one of Canada’s most prominent sound pioneers.

labelinfo // bio:
"Breadth Control" ist das lange erwartete Albumdebüt des kanadischen Produzenten David Vangel (ehemals Vangel). Auf 13 Tracks vermischen sich gekonnt emotionale, jazzige Melodien mit explosiver Schlagzeugprogrammierung und gefühlvollen Gesangspassagen. Egal ob Sampling oder Live-Instrumentierung – Vangel verbindet in cineastischen Arrangements die verschiedensten Elemente von Hip-Hop, Jazz, Indie Rock, Electronica oder auch World Music zu einem intensiven Ganzen. "Breadth Control" wird so zu einer Reise mit und durch Musik, wechselnd zwischen Optimismus bis hin zur düsteren Melancholie.

About David Vangel
a story contains but few words....
Born. Walked. Kept walking…

David Vangel, aka „Vangel“, is a Toronto based producer & live performer. He first turned heads in 2000 with his production work in the Canadian hip hop scene, with his work being described as “beats so gloriously fucked, they make EL-P sound like a more accessible Moby” (Now Magazine). Since embarking on his own musical journey in 2005, Vangel has released a string of instrumental EPs that have confused and amazed music lovers and muddled the boundaries between such genres as electronic, hip hop, jazz, rock, and folk.

Vangel’s first musical steps began with his formal music studies as a member of his school band, strings ensemble, and symphony orchestra. “I hated playing. I just wanted to put it together”. His fascination with ‚putting together‘ eventually led to an obsession with ‚taking apart‘; dissecting songs, time signatures, and melody. Needing a more contextual knowledge base, Vangel spent his days digging through flea markets and garage sales in search of diverse vinyl records with new sounds and ideas. Eventually, vinyl led to djing. Working with 2 records opened Vangel’s eyes to the possibilities of manipulating and creating new sound relationships. “I wanted to make beats so bad. I had so many ideas I wanted to try out. I bought a computer, quit my job, and started making music”.



In 2005, he began releasing music that drew comparisons across the musical spectrum, and caught the attention of 5&1/4 Records/Media, a local Canadian Indie Label. With their support he released his peterdeadpan side-project, his debut ep: "PostModern Eros", and select remixes. His work garnered international acclaim and he was later signed to Berlin‘s premier instrumental hip hop and electronic label: Equinox Records. Since 2007, he has been featured on a multitude of Equinox releases, and in 2009 released „Biblio“; a neo classic electronic jazz inspired ep, which was dubbed „a very accomplished affair, blurring the lines between disparate genres and sound sources“ (Cyclic Defrost Magazine). Having taken his live improvisational PA across Canada, the US, and Europe, David Vangel continues to make strong impressions on those he meets and take in his music.

All his talents are unleashed with his newest release and debut lp: „Breadth Control“. A mind altering affair loaded with emotive melodies, explosive dynamics, and savage gauntlets of fierce drum programming, „Breadth Control“ moves listeners with orchestral string arrangements and an overall cinematic quality that creates abstract visions ranging from optimism to melancholy. „Breadth Control“ demands attention, and is poised to leave its stamp on the future of electronic fusion music.

With a multitude of diverse theme-based musical projects on deck, Vangel is taking humble steps towards a unique synthesis of sound.
