F.X. Randomiz

Köln, Germany’s enigmatic A-Musik label offers produced a few of the most fascinatingly organic reshufflings of experimental ambient and post-techno. Even though his name typically just helps it be onto his personal produces, Felix “F.X.” Randomiz continues to be involved in some way with many of them. A contributor towards the electronica etchings of such performers as Pluramon, Holosud, Schlammpeitziger, and, especially, Mouse on Mars (within the group’s well-known Autoditacker LP and as well as MOM’s Jan St. Werner mainly because Sluggish), F.X. Randomiz mixes components of each of these projects right into a extremely artificial, vertical melange as solid since it is definitely precarious. His cheerful, wobbly, sampler-abusing electronica is most likely most in the vein of glitch-miners like General Magic, Mouse on Mars, as well as some Atom Heart, however the pure denseness of his paths can make all of them the more challenging within the listener. Randomiz finally broke out of contributor setting in 1996, adding the standout edition on Schlammpeitziger’s “Freundlichbaracudaremix” ten in ., released that yr by A-Musik in extremely small amounts. His debut LP, Goflex, made an appearance on A-Musik in 1998. Related in its chimey imprecision to numerous of the performers that in 1997-98 help place Köln within the experimental post-techno map, the album’s crammed, lo-fi flutter appeared a lot more avoidant than most.
