2014 will see the release of Gareth Whitehead's debut album on his own Bulletdodge label.
The album will not be the usual 4/4 house and techno affair but rather a reflection on the history of these genres. These musical mediations will see Gareth pay homage to the industry pioneers who not only inspired him as a producer and DJ but have also shaped the musical direction of Bulletdodge.
Each track involves collaboration, with Gareth working alongside the originator of techno, Juan Atkins; the godfather of house, Marshall Jefferson; the legendary house vocalist Robert Owens and Brooklyn innovators Lenny Dee and Frankie Bones. The album will also include appearances from long-term Bulletdodge collaborators Pig & Dan, X-Press 2, Darren Emerson, Detroit Grand Pubahs, Space DJz, Ben Long, Tom Taylor and Werner Niedermeier.
To celebrate the album release, Bulletdodge will also deliver a series of singles, a remix album and a DJ mix containing a selection of tracks from the project.
Making up the first single are two tracks by Gareth Whitehead and Tom Taylor: `The Beginning' with it's shimmering electronics, deep vocals and moving bassline, plus the shuffling groove and clean beats of `A Long Wait'. The tracks are accompanied by a first-rate remix from Motorcitysoul's Matthias Vogt, who takes `The Beginning' into tougher territory, adding his trademark skills to the mix.
