Relabi is the music of the self-erasing pulse. A newly identified experiential gestalt, it involves coordinated sounding structures built on a constantly slipping pulse, creating an experience with some of the characteristics of rhythm but at the same time radically different.
The first self-aware Relabi record, BALTIMORE RELABI STYLE is in production now (composed by John Berndt, with a star-studded cast of musicians and produced by beat wizards Matmos, plus sidemen Dan Deacon, Jason Willet, Mark Miller, Allessandro Bosetti, Katt Hernandez, Jennifer Walshe, Dan Breen, and many others) and it will probably hit the shelves and internet sometime in my lifetime!!
