The Artist/Album: 2562, Fever (When In Doubt, April 4th)
The Details: While we tagged his last album “tomorrow’s dubstep today,” Fever is Dave Huismans’ stab at making a straight-up disco record, albeit one that’d make more sense in the late-’70s/early-’80s underground than in Studio 54. To get the purest sound possible, the producer based every song off actual well-aged disco records, with “no additional synthesizers, drum computers or other sample sources involved.”
Or as Huisman told FACT, “I set out to write a few simple grooves based on sampling the disco records I had been listening to as a much needed escape from electronic music, and before I knew it it became an album. Just the 11 tracks and that was it. Even the order in which I wrote them largely remained the same on the album, it just worked.
He continued, “As a result the album to me feels like a soundtrack to my personal life during the summer in which I made it. I didn’t perform or travel much that time, so it was a very simple life: sampling records, making music, going for a run, watching the World Cup. Enjoying small things. In fact it was the first time writing an album was simply fun.
