 Coolness: 57620 | B.L.I.M. is one of the most important figures on the Breaks scene. He's a Producer/Remixer & International DJ based in East London. He started his recording career as a Drum N Bass artist releasing many tunes on Emotif and SOUR before moving over to Botchit & Scarper when he caught the breaks bug producing the classic detroitesque 'Chronologic'.
Beginning his musical life from an essentially classical orchestral base of piano and violin, he's used his musical knowledge to produce some of the most influential breaks in the World. He has remixed a series of landmark tunes for Circulation, Hooj, Eruption & Anthony Rother and joined forces with Rennie Pilgrem, Freq Nasty, Chris Carter & Meat Katie to produce a smattering of seminal beaks tracks and remixes. Responsible for some fine slices of jazz based drum'n'bass in the mid Nineties, BLIM (aka Gervais Cook) veered away from that particular version of breaks in the late nineties to join the tale end of big beat and the emergence of the contemporary break beat scene, at that time epitomised by the funky electro sounds of Freq Nasty. ‘Lost In Music’ is BLIM's his long time coming debut artist album. As ever the arrangements are funky the beats punchy and the bass lines oscillate from organic grooves to bin shifting sub growls. As a formulae it's not ground breaking, but as music designed for hot sweaty dark rooms its production is geared toward what will shake a room not clever tricks. And at this BLIM is a master – as becomes clear from the opening track 'Skapurr'. For other examples flick to his collaboration with label head honcho Rennie Pilgrim and MC Chickaboo, '2Freaks', 'Driving' or 'Dust', where he demonstrates that although Bongo Bongo Band's 'Apache', reputedly the first break beat, may have been used so much there's a whole in the vinyl, there is still thing or two you can do with it. As is made clear on 'Too Clever', tricks and effects do not a good dance record make and BLIM relies on neither. If you asked any of the respected breakbeat producers who they rated highly In the scene, no matter what particular tip they’re on, you could guarantee that one name would be right up there. B.L.I.M. is one of the most important figures on the Breaks scene. He’s a Producer/Remixer & International DJ based in East London. He started his recording career as a Drum N Bass artist releasing many tunes on Emotif and SOUR before moving over to Botchit & Scarper when he caught the breaks bug a few years ago. Beginning his musical life from an essentially classical orchestral base of piano and violin, he’s used his musical knowledge to produce some of the most influential breaks in the World. He has remixed a series of landmark tunes for Circulation, Hooj, Moving Shadow and Mute and his rework of Anthony Rother’s ‘Red Light District’ was selected by Dave Clarke for his World Service compilation. His collaboration with former stablemate Freq Nasty produced some memorable remixes included Steve Reich’s ‘Desert Music’ and Metisse’s ‘Sousound”. As a recording Artist on Botchit, B.L.I.M. produced the Detroitesque ‘Chronologic which has become a breaks scene classic. His collaboration two years ago with Chris Carter and Shara Nelson ,‘U’, was another ‘must have’ tune , neatly combining ‘Nu Skool’ sentiments with a vocal to die for. CURRENT PROJECTS Aside from being busy losing copious amounts of weight (no more pizza!) and playing league football, B.L.I.M. has also set up his own label ‘Track’ which has seen releases from himself, Chris Carter and Rennie Pilgrem. He has also been hard at it on the remix front, remixing such luminaries as Blame and Luke Slater amongst others. He continues to DJ all over the world – in such far flung places as the USA, Spain, Budapest and Hong Kong (Gatecrasher event) to name but a few. He also did his debut tour of Australia to such acclaim that he will is about to go back for a huge tour covering South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. After the success of his first compilation for TCR ‘Modernizm’, the boy has just released his long-overdue artist album entitled ‘Lost in Music’. Collaborating with old favourites Rennie Pilgrem and Chris Carter aswell as the likes of Meat Katie has helped this album receive massive critical acclaim. OK. Ok, Maybe this is a little out of date and he has put out more releases since this was written. But it's all true, this Thursday wu=ill be a unique bass odessey not to be missed. ONly 8 bucks and Poontz and Pinkyy 38 will be playing as well. Of course Rinse Out will be on fire with a live show by Hardsteppers, Corey K vs. Mayday and Krinjah! |
