Ben Nevile - Open Land
Description
Ben Nevile is our longtime favourite Canadian artist/sound engineer, previously based in Vancouver but now making his home in the creative hotbed of Montréal. His music is colourful with generous, thick groove and melody evolving from minimal house music to dub techno. Ben’s appearances are truly rare whether for productions or concerts. Indeed it’s been almost 20 years since Ben first produced music for Telegraph. With Open Land Ben delivers an outstanding record showing the 3 dimension of his skills. The A side Politics is a true hit! A sweet rave track capable of exploding any dancefloor – combining strength, elegance and melancholy. The B1, I Don’t Feel That Way, hypnotically thumps with an arrangement that will feed it perfectly into everyone’s DJ sets this summer. The eponymous B2 track, a tribute, is fully restrained with deep atmosphere. Both B tracks are perfect dj tools to give the dancefloor the right energy and mood. Here is a timeless record.
The label was founded in 1996 by Alexandre Petit and Eric Dalbin and has since been joined by Gilles Garnier in charge of digital development.
Logistic Records is an independent music label that focuses primarily on electronic techno and house music influenced by Chicago, Detroit and Berlin, groove is at the center of each of the label's productions.
With a discography of nearly 200 references, Logistic Records had the pleasure of producing albums by pioneering artists such as Robert Hood, Daniel Bell, Atom Heart, James Taylor as well as collaborating with talented composers such as John Thomas, Ark, Cabanne, Ben Nevile, Pit Spector or Bruno Pronsato.
From another collaboration with Cabanne was born in 1999 Telegraph a sub-label dedicated to productions with slower grooves and more complex sound textures. Productions intended to be played by djs in clubs.
Today, the label is opening up to other genres such as hip-hop, notably with the release in 2021 of the album “Keith’s Salon” by New York rap legend Kool Keith.
