{"product_id":"mr-mitch-parallel-memories-vinyl","title":"Parallel Memories (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMr. Mitch is one of a small group of producers who in the\u003cbr\u003elast few years have been re-imagining the decade-old genre of Grime. Miles\u003cbr\u003eMitchell, a 26 year-old South East Londoner, started his own Gobstopper label\u003cbr\u003eback in 2010 after having his debut release on Butterz. Last year he started\u003cbr\u003ethe flourishing Boxed 'Instrumental Grime' night alongside producers Slackk,\u003cbr\u003eLogos and Oil Gang. For Mr. Mitch, Grime has \"\u0026amp;always been an experimental\u003cbr\u003eand progressive genre, taking elements of what came before it and pushing those\u003cbr\u003eboundaries to create something new\". His debut album is called 'Parallel\u003cbr\u003eMemories' and Miles has an intriguing story that explains that title. When\u003cbr\u003elistening to his tracks, he sees the same vivid scenes in his head each time he\u003cbr\u003ereplays the music, often repeated snapshots of his life in various impossible\u003cbr\u003escenarios or distorted situations. This made him think \"What if the images\u003cbr\u003eI'm seeing are memories from an alternative version of me in a parallel\u003cbr\u003edimension?\" A question which reflects his vision of Grime too, as his\u003cbr\u003einstrumentals are informed by a quite personal and emotive alter-life, where\u003cbr\u003eGrime's famous minimalism gives way to a gentle subtlety and is imbued with a\u003cbr\u003every different feeling to the brash aggression associated with the genre. The\u003cbr\u003ealbum intro 'Afternoon After' is the bleary-eyed sound of the club the night\u003cbr\u003ebefore, broken down into swirling child-like synth melodies, coiling over\u003cbr\u003eflattened, but airy kick drums. 'The Night' follows, sounding like something\u003cbr\u003eBoards Of Canada might do if they came from S.E. London, its gorgeous flute\u003cbr\u003emelodies opening up gracefully over minimal rhythms and shifting static tones.\u003cbr\u003e'Intense Faces' marks a shift in the energy to bassline, synth swoops and sharp\u003cbr\u003eclaps, a child-like bleep tune playing out over the top. 'Don't Leave' switches\u003cbr\u003ethe mood to one of sadness, its rising chords evolving over a repeated,\u003cbr\u003eslowed-down acapella. Elsewhere 'Sweet Boy Code', a collaboration with fellow\u003cbr\u003eGobstopper artist Dark0, lets spacey kicks propel its gentle relaxed melodies\u003cbr\u003eover airy sampled vocals. The midpoint track 'Wandering Glaciers' twists Grime\u003cbr\u003einto what sounds like a tense piece of early electronica. Meanwhile 'Bullion'\u003cbr\u003echops up a lumbering sample that sound like a marauding giant. The album\u003cbr\u003efinishes on 'Hot Air', with its drum pattern sounding like a slow heart beat\u003cbr\u003eand strange, backwards synths, it feels like a voyage around a body.This is an\u003cbr\u003ealbum that deserves to find an audience who are willing to go on a journey into\u003cbr\u003enew areas with Grime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP w\/ DL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Dance \u0026amp; Electronic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mr. Mitch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42022749175889,"sku":"V2PEZ4-EYNO-AX","price":32.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/mr-mitch-parallel-memories_Qhesy.jpg?v=1762479189","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/mr-mitch-parallel-memories-vinyl","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
