Queerifications & Ruins Mule’s new collection of remixes by Terre
Thaemlitz AKA DJ Sprinkles begins fittingly with two remixes only
Thaemlitz could make. Both reinterpret June’s 2011 track Lost Area
one is a three-minute ambient version the other a 13-minute epic and
both cover a far broader range of emotions than you’d normally find in
house music. This is true of their vocal samples alone: one female
voice croons so many tears while another seemingly in the midst of
a breakdown growls all the way to the bottom you make me and then
screams. In the Lost Vocal version pads in the back go from
sinister to soothing and eventually the whole thing swells to a
climax with a slow reverb-drenched piano solo. A meaty bassline and
some bouncy percussion keep the whole thing club-friendly throughout
This is what makes Thaemlitz’s house records so good: they touch on
moods and topics typically out of bounds in club music. It goes
without saying that house was born from struggle but no one remind us
of this as often as Thaemlitz does. On Midtown 120 Blues he says:
The house nation likes to pretend clubs are an oasis from suffering
but suffering is in here with us. It’s a point that would have been
clear even without this explanation. From his use of minor keys to his
choice of vocal samples which reference everything from AIDS to
tranny-on-tranny violence suffering especially of sexually
marginalized groups is often front-and-center in his music. But not
always. He has party tracks too he is a DJ after all and his ability
to move between these two modes is part of what makes his music so
rich
This has never been more true than on Queerifications & Ruins a
double-disc package that brings together every DJ Sprinkles remix from
the past three years (save his latest on Perlon the excellent
Crossfaderama version of The Mole’s Lockdown Party). Take the
Sprinkles’ Dubbarama remix of Hard Ton’s Food Of Love an 11
minute deep house bomb that grows increasingly reflective as it goes
until it dissolves into a beatless three-minute piano outro
Exhalation a DJ Sprinkles remix of Parallax Beat Brothers begins
as a bubbling ambient piece then slowly congeals into a gently
bumping after-hours tune. On his remix of Hardrock Striker’s Motorik
Life Thaemlitz samples Martin Luther King’s I Have A Dream speech
something that would sound clich d in almost anyone else’s hands but
here feels dark and fresh with the original text chopped up to make a
new refrain: despair… despair… the mighty mountain of despair
If there’s a track that shows Thaemlitz at full-tilt it’s the
Ambient Ballroom remix of Oh Yoko’s Seashore. The original’s
Grouper-esque cooing is paired with an ambient techno beat and a
sample of Gil Scott Heron repeating the word balling (from his song
The Subject Was Faggots). In the breakdown we hear an intimate
conversation between two men. One is offering the other encouragement
as if talking him back from the ledge:
I hope you won’t give into despair that’s what I want to tell you
It’s so hard making sense of our lives. I guess I mean to say making
our lives sensible in a strange city where we begin a different
lifestyle completely. Maybe not exactly sure inside if the changes
we’re choosing are right necessarily even if they’re right for us
It’s so easy to become confused and so hard to love ourselves and
find what’s good for our lives
Meanwhile Scott-Heron’s monologue about faggot balls carries on in
the background as if to represent the climate of intolerance these
two characters endure. Thaemlitz is a multimedia artist as well as a
producer and we rarely see these talents complement each other as
well as they do here
As he recently told Crack Thaemlitz sees Queerifications as a DJ
tool. I mean they are all totally unrelated remixes so this
compilation is not like an album with a clear narrative or something
like that. That certainly sells it short: Toshiya Kawaski who runs
Mule Musiq arranged these 14 tracks into a very smooth and gradual
arc. The result is an immersive two-and-a-half hours of lush
understated and emotionally complex deep house. If that’s at all your
thing this is an unmissable release
enjoy!
