Furs
About
As a producer, FURS (Jesse Somfay) blurs genre lines through the mashing of musical styles, and filtering the techniques of classical, jazz, hip-hop and bass music through computer based synthesis and production methods. Glistening FM synthesis and rumbling sub bass sets the tone for this down-tempo, dark, IDM record from Detroit Underground.
Furs music could be described as heaving layering of detailed and morphing FM synths that range from shimmering melodies to heavy and full bass that organically modulates and shifts, a contrast to the laser snares and tight percussion (made on the Machinedrum from Elektron and Reaktor, giving the rhythm section a full and complex sound). The composition is nuanced, rhythmic and expressive with a futuristic touch.
ENV(itre)’s remix of Anti-Node is a spacey mix that re-imagines the melodies and heavy percussion of the original into a glitched out IDM dreamscape that lets the mind wonder, then pulls it right back with granular, stretched out and manipulated samples that will make your ears do a double-take.
