What to do with a year of full creative freedom? You could do worse than going to Brooklyn, New York and spend your days tweaking the shit out of your synths. Pardon the cineastic gibberish, but that’s an offer you can’t refuse. So let it be known that Zurich-born producer Mrz benefited from quite a generous trust. Enough to carve out the aural delicacy that is his debut album for Nice Try Records. Call it post-minimal, post-dubstep or post-punk. At it’s postily best. And you better grab a copy while it lasts: It’s coming in a hand-crafted cardboard 7-inch box.
Swiss label Nice Try Records has produced a remarkable collector’s edition: the three 7-inch vinyls are embedded into a laminated alumnium box
flanked with an additional CD of the album, that not only contains remixes by Zurich producers Demetrio Giannice and Storlon, but also a video by the infamous Zurich video artist Grrrr. Such a sumptuous endeavour is nothing less than fit for the hugely talented Mrz,
whom Nice Try met via Myspace.
Moritz Wettstein AKA Mrz claims that "already as a child he didn’t understand music.". Indeed, it’s the rawness that does it. These are uncompromising cuts born out of the fierily creative backdrop of Zurich’s squat scene. Take for instance "Brainbells": An immensely trippy cut that sounds as if Richard Bartz and Pawel had feasted together. But then again: This music knows exactly what it wants to be. Techno for heads. |
