Freezone 7 • Seven Is Seven Is


Let's refresh our memories for a second: between 1994 and 1999 the Freezone series has always been ahead of the most interesting new trends in horizontal and semi-vertical dance music... thanks to his legendary flair and impeccable taste, DJ Morpheus has consistently managed to introduce up-and-coming greats... Did you know for instance that DJ CAM, MIGHTY BOP (aka BOB SINCLAR), HOWIE B, PHOTEK, 4 HERO, KRUDER & DORFMEISTER have all appeared on Freezone 2, back in 1995 ? Then came FILA BRAZILLIA, HERBERT, PHIL ASHER & ASHLEY BEEDLE, PULSINGER, LUKE VIBERT (FZ3, 1996), BASEMENT JAXX, THIEVERY CORPORATION, CHARLES WEBSTER (FZ4, 1997), Rae & CHRISTIAN, KEVIN YOST, JOE CLAUSSELL, DOCTOR L, SUBA, DJ SPINNA (FZ5, 1998), ISOLEE, AIM, SEñOR COCONUT, LONDON ELEKTRICITY, CHATEAU FLIGHT, MAURICE FULTON (FZ6, 1999), as well as already-confirmed acts like MOBY, JOSH WINK, CARL CRAIG, COLDCUT, PLAID, ALEX GOPHER etc... Also: the fact that (since the 96 edition) every single track has been exclusive certainly did contribute to making the collection even more fascinating...

To make a long story short: Freezone has been an absolutely major reference for chill out fans worldwide, each volume being at the same time a precious set of clues for things to come and a great listening experience... So the release of this new double album should be great news to anyone who likes his lounge music to be a little more spicy than what's on the usual menu, to anyone who believes that "chill" doesn't need to mean "dull", and that "adventurous lounging" isn't necessarily an oxymoron.

Freezone 5 • The Radio Is Teaching My Goldfish Ju-jitsu


For this fifth volume, DJ Morpheus has selected - among others - several brilliant, totally or practically unknown new acts. Some of these had never released anything at all so far - such as STAR (from Sweden) and SUBA (from Brazil), whose tracks respectively open the first and the second CD - while some others - RECLOOSE (USA), BUSCEMI (Belgium) and PHOSPHORUS (UK/Italy) - have only had one or two singles out.

There's also tracks by three exponents of the freshest new wave of US hip hop: JIGMASTAS (DJ Spinna's group), SHAWN J. PERIOD (known for his production work with Mos Def) and newcomers GEO-LOGY.

In the "already-established" category, you'll find contributions by the likes of IAN O'BRIEN, FUNK D'VOID, B.LOW (Pulsinger/Tunakan), SPACETIME CONTINUUM, and Detroit's SHAKE and EDDIE "FLASHIN" FOWLKES.

The last group of participants comprises some of the hottest new producers which have recently come to prominence in the fields of house/hip hop/breakbeat/d'n'b/techno: the UK's DJ Q, KLUTE (vs Hy-Ryze), DANIEL IBBOTSON and RAE & CHRISTIAN, the USA's KEVIN YOST, JOE CLAUSSELL and THE TENANTS (Jamie Hodge), and France's DOCTOR L.

Just like on the previous two volumes, each of the 22 tracks on Freezone 5 is absolutely exclusive, which makes the end-result both very precious and interesting. It's a fascinating process: imagine 22 artists, working simultaneously in their respective studios (in 8 different countries), and delivering to you this kaleidoscope of musical pieces, with its variations and differences, but also with surprising convergences and coincidences... (you'll notice for example a definite, deep jazzy undercurrent running through a majority of the tracks on FZ5)...

Freezone 1 • The Phenomenology Of Ambient


Reviewed by Mike G
 What Instinct Records and Silent Records ambient compilations from the same era did for techno and trance, Freezone did for downtempo lounge, house and groove music.
Actually, "dance" sounds rather obsolete in the face of the breathtaking eclecticism and downbeat vibes of these sprawling double-CD sets. The inserts are peppered with calls to arms for the quiet revolution: "lie down and get down", "return to unreason", "trip on, chill in, dub out". This is lounge music for the dance generation, born of clubland but designed for the couch, using a mix of electronica and live instrumentation to sample, twist and transform sounds drawn from sources that span over 50 years of contemporary music. Beat music as ambient? This series proves it beyond a doubt.
The compiling was overseen by Paris-based spinner and broadcaster DJ Morpheus from exclusive tracks by artists from all over Europe, the UK and the USA. The albums explore seemingly endless variations on downbeat funk and soul, atmospheric drum 'n' bass, cheesy lounge music, ambient techno and psychedelic, dubby jazz and hip hop grooves. Vocals pop up occasionally, but they're mostly there for textural and timbrel effect. Freezone does share some qualities with Cafe Del Mar, that other much loved series of post-rave chill-out albums, but there is also some distinct differences. While the latter tends to be drenched in smooth, mellow sounds and reverb, the Freezone series explores beats somewhat more insistently and there is more variety of mood. Right next to some of the prettiest, sweetest grooves imaginable you might find weird, angular melodies, creepy undertows or unusual time signatures.

Each individual album covers so much ground that it's best not to generalise too much, but they do develop their own personalities over time. The Phenomenology Of Ambient (1994), while excellent, is the black sheep of the series: DJ Morpheus was not involved; it has an often deep, beatless ambient feel; and many of its tracks (Pete Namlook, David Byrne, Moby) are previously released. Variations On A Chill (1995) and Dangerous Lullabies (1997) are the most melodic, with a deliciously dubby flavour and a swag of basslines and deep house grooves to die for. The Radio Is Teaching My Goldfish Jujitsu (1998) and Fourth Person Singular (1999) emphasise an meeting of jazz, soul and electronica that is sometimes astounding. Horizontal Dancing (1996) is the most beat-orientated of the series; its best tracks arrange breakbeats  - particularly ambient drum 'n' bass - with melodies from vibraphone and electric piano with sublime results.
Freezone 7: Seven Is Seven Is (2001) is the only disappointment in the series. Well-formed grooves and melodies are in short supply and it's also marred by some rather conventional vocal numbers. Perhaps not coincidently, it turned out to be the final release and Freezone was no more.
