“Naked Man – naked cat”. No doubts Dada plays a big role in Olaf
Hilgenfeld (Berlin) and Iftah Gabbai’s (Jerusalem) inspirational
universe. Their release on Berlin’s Bar 25 Konfetti compilation was only the tip of an iceberg of what’s been released on their album King Of Spades And Marmalades.We
can get closer by naming references like Elliot Lipp, dOP, Noze, DJ
Koze, Matthew Herbert and of course Luke Vibert. Skinnerbox share their
leftfiled, jazzy attitude, their style that’s gendre bridging and
defying at the same time. Futuristic, funky, lunatic, playful, cute,
sweet and ballsy – just when you think you can put your finger on it,
they swing a left turn and you can’t help but nodd your head with a
smile on your face: Yes this still exists.Skinnerbox have
developed a purely electronically composed and performed music (partly
feat. vocals by Elle_P) – that is not based on loops but improvised
Techno inspired House and Minimal House. The roles in the duo are
clearly settled: Olaf Hilgenfeld – Moog synthesizer, Iftah Gabbai –
hardware drum machines, Max/MSP und Ableton Live.All these
distinct impacts and effects can be heard on their various releases
from the last two years, but far better in their live sets. Skinnerbox
are an experience, taking you on expedition with paralyzing Minimal,
breaking House, hard-edged Techno-Jazz, and ambient Electronica
futurism.It was a desire to eternalize this play- &
colorful diversity, often just caused by the moment, as entire
homogeneity. Thus, they needed to leave temporarily their environmental
Techno and Minimal House scapes. King Of Spades And Marmalades
– the result – is a Jazz Opus wrapped into a Disco suitcase. It is a
reminiscence as well as going far ahead of daily musical habits, shown
not at least by the order of tracks, do not starting with a stunning
hit of the album, but with 20 minutes of challenge.
