As promised, D.iscontent has woken from it’s summer slumber with not one, but two release for your listening pleasure. Hjalti’s debut album, Winter Asks What We Did In The Summer, is our first full length release, while the Perestroika split EP, formerly available only to attendees of Static Glide, features Hjalti and Miniature Airlines breaking it down in an old school remix battle extraordinaire. Both are free downloads, because we know you would just download it for free anyways. Plus, we have Lenin on the cover of Perestroika, so it would feel wrong to release it as a Capitalist endeavor.

Perestroika

Full album with Artwork: 29.6mb .ZIP file

Perestroika is the Russian word for “Restructuring”, and that’s exactly what’s happening on this split release. There are two new tracks here, one each from Miniature Airlines and Hjalti, and two remixes, with each artist eviscerating and re-working the other’s original. It’s a surprisingly varied release that doesn’t fit easily into a single genre. At certain points, it’s dark and experimental, but soon enough becomes slick and dancefloor friendly. Skittery IDM beats collide with four on the floor house kicks, easily evading classification.

This is the first full release of Hjalti. The title is a Roma proverb that I think encapsulates the feeling of the album perfectly. The songs are looking back to a summer full of promise from a winter where those promises need justification. The album moves from a sparse to a denser sound-scape as winters questions are answered more fully. My fundamental influences (Proem, Gridlock) as well as more recent influences (Burzum, Efterklang) are very apparent throughout the album. In the end I could have continued to work on this album for ever but I guess releases are a good snapshot of where I am at this point and time.

Stirrings

By all appearances, it has been an uneventful summer at D.iscontent headquarters. But the first rumblings of activity are about to be heard. The turmoil and strife of summer will become audible shortly. Hints have been dropped here and there, but soon enough, actual evidence will become apparent. Watch closely.

Just a quick note to let all our adoring fans know that the awesomeness that is Static Glide Part 2 just got awesomer. Since there were some logistical difficulties at Static Glide 1, thanks to the Seattle Fire Marshall shutting down the VIP Room and half of Neumo’s, Greg Skidmore and Struggle didn’t get to perform that night. So the obvious solution is to welcome these two amazing DJs to Static Glide Part 2! That’s right, next Sunday at the Baltic Room, there will be 4 DJs in styles ranging from dubstep to IDM and beyond, plus the two live sets by Hjalti and Miniature Airlines. You can’t ask for a better line up, especially not for a show that’s free before 10. Come early, drink heavily, and dance with gleeful abandon this Memorial Day Weekend, and the expanded and improved Static Glide. It is your duty.

Buttons, Buttons, Who’s Got the Buttons?
