The Stormy Search

The reputation of adroit and unique Dublin-born, Berlin-based producer Timothy Blake has grown with releases for the likes of Dirt Crew, Fatty Fatty Phonographics, and Kleine Reise. His debut for Aus Music, The Stormy Search, is a meld of jubilant synth lines, bumping 909 drums, and funk-indebted bass grooves. Marquis Hawkes, who introduced Aus cofounder Will Saul to Blake's music, remixes The Stormy Search (which he also co-produced), dimming the tenor, driving percussion through purring tape machines and adding the dose of granular soul that's been his calling card throughout releases on Dixon Avenue Basement Jams, Houndstooth, Clone, and Creme Organization.
