EARMILK Presents: Weekend Selector - St Mandrew (WKND20) by EARMILK published on 2012-05-05T01:14:41Z The weekend has landed and all that matters now is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. You've got 48 hours off the 9-5, it's time to unbutton your hustle and breathe vigor back into life. Whether it be through losing your soul on the dance floor or grooving to it, we have your soundtrack covered. The EARMILK Weekend Selector, an exclusive guest mix series where we invite the latest budding talent from behind the booth to usher you through all the boozie and jam. From your morning bedside to tonight's evening formal, your weekend selector is here to fill a void of good taste and allow fresh connections to flow vicariously. After giving some well deserved face time to wunder phenoms like Clouds and SCNTST, we turn this episode in our musical diary over to the well seasoned introspect of Toronto's St Mandrew. The musical procurement process for someone who's seen fads come and go culminated in a mix laden with tracks that while new, will be staples in many a DJ's crates for the forseable future. Look to labelmate Harvard Bass' latest "Juicy", one of our favorite afterhours go to songs in Marcel Dettmann's "Translation One" and Mandrew's own "Error 404" to add to your Beatport shopping lists. "I've never tried to make something because I felt that was in the direction things were going in dance music, I've just made what feels right at the time." After a couple successful EP's co-produced with JFK of MSTRKRFT, St Mandrew's first solo EP Error 404 hit stores this week via Teenage Riot Records, building on a 2012 that already included remixes of Acid Jack's "The Sword" and Jokers Of The Scene's "Black Mountie". St Mandrew's time spent studying the sound design process shines through on the title track most notably through his use of sustained hats which add a subtle white noise to complement one of the fatest 303 lines we've heard in a while. The B sides "Shockwave" and "Moonrise" play off each other well with variations on a drippy upper register staccatoed synth holding down melodic duties while the squelching resonance on "Shockwave" and the pulsing bassline compression in "Moonrise" handle groove duties. Fellow Torontonians Autoerotique take on the remixes with Acid Jack making for a deep animated package. Skip the single download, album purchase is a must.
