Are you just sick to death of not having any legroom when you listen to music? It’s about as cramped as flying coach on an airplane, right? And don’t even get me started on the food! It’s despicable! Should be totally banned! Doesn’t even count as food if you ask me. Anyhow, I just flew in and my arms are totally exhausted, so I’ll get right to the point: I’ve got a solution to your no legroom conundrum in contemporary electronic music. It’s a brand-new release from Chris Douglas (a.k.a. O.S.T.) as Dalglish. Out on PAN November 8, it’s called Niaiw Ot Vile, which, according to Google Translate, is an old Swahili proverb meaning “such ot niaiw.”
Using the last 20 years of legroom technology combined with years of experience putting on his own ambient techno shows and getting all chummy with folks like James Stinson (Drexciya), Mike Banks (Underground Resistance), and Autechre, Douglas has finally perfected making a record big enough for even those of us with pathologically long calves. This will be Douglas’ first release with those legroom-jockeys over at PAN, and they’ve described it as “cavernous,” with “clangorous landscapes,” and “expanses even Leonid Stadnyk would be totally down with.” Niaiw Ot Vile is dedicated to Douglas’ late friend Wai Cheng, founder of Isolate Records. The artwork comes from Bill Kouligas (PAN label head) and Kathryn Politis, with mastering by… can you guess? You are correct: Rashad Becker.
