Raffertie - 'Mass Appeal' EP Out Now
Posted on 06/02/2012
Raffertie's second EP for Ninja Tune, Mass Appeal, is out now.
Contextually, the Mass Appeal EP fits neatly as a natural successor to Raffertie’s debut Ninja Tune release, the critically-acclaimed Visual Acuity. This time it’s more about the subtlety of groove and patchworks of sonic colour, rather than out-and-out dancefloor madness. The dexterity of its musical content, like that of VA, reveals itself in the elastic manipulation of its rhythms and timbres.
Above all this music exercises a desire not to be tied down to any musical direction, style or genre. As Raffertie himself explains, “I want my music to be judged on its own merits, not in comparison to any genre or style. In any genre the very word results in preconceptions, often inaccurate, of what to expect.”
Mass Appeal is out now on 12" vinyl and download at the Ninjashop and iTunes. Check Raffertie's upcoming shows here, and listen to a new mix for Colette Paris here.
