Montreal’s The Mole returns to his spiritual home of Wagon Repair for the first time since 2006’s ‘In My Song’. ‘You’re the One’ is the first single taken from his forthcoming album ‘As High As The Sky’ which will be released on Wagon Repair in May. Renowned as the programmer behind the ‘Modern Deep Left Quartet’, a collaboration with all three members of Cobblestone Jazz, 2007 saw The Mole release a series of remixes on ~scape as well as a single on Canadian imprint Musique Risquee. He’s also regularly to be found cutting up the finest dance floors across Europe, the US and Canada. A side ‘Baby You’re the One’ is fast out of the blocks with racing percussion and a plunging bass loop. A piercing metallic tone encircles a distorted vocal sample as subtle melodies rise to the surface of the mix, steadily intensifying to climax. On the flip side, ‘Crackbeat’ is a darker animal. Kindling wild percussion carries an eerily distant key melody that supports a rich synth siren. Teeming with activity, the synth melody is trailed by bubbling bass tones as a feral percussive drive chases to close.
