Always a tease, Levon Vincent chose to announce the release of his long-await debut album by drip-feeding information on social media. The subsequent meltdown among the online techno community may have been amusing to watch, but is testament to the Berlin-based New Yorker's impact over the last 10 years. Typically, concrete info has been thin on the ground - aside from the fact that it stretches across some four slabs of vinyl - and sound clips even thinner (aside from the hypnotic, yearning sweetness of 'Anti-Corporate Music', which Vincent gave away for free as a taster).
New York house man Levon Vincent does his thing on this week's RA podcast. Levon Vincent: The golden ratio. Ahead of his appearance at this year's Bloc festival, RA catches up with one of the most distinctive DJ and producers in house and techno. DJ, Producer and owner of Novel Sound. The 12-inch includes a new cut called 'War Drum Dub' along with a track from the For Paris album. Dekmantel reveals ninth EP in anniversary series. The penultimate record in the year-long series features tunes from Lena Willikens, Space Dimension Controller and more.
Levon Vincent - Levon Vincent When Levon Vincent borrowed Marshall McLuhan's famous maxim "the medium is the message," he was using it to justify his commitment to vinyl. But his point-that the music you release is inseparable from the way in which you release it-has broader applications. Vincent has been a revered figure in house and techno for years now. Any album, but particularly a long-awaited debut from such a well-liked artist, will bring with it new expectations. This new medium implies a new, grander statement.

The album feels epic in scope, imbuing the banality of everyday life with stunning tension and emotional weight in a way few producers can hope to touch.
This might be more of a coup for the Fabric label than it is for Levon Vincent - a venerated house DJ and producer active for a decade through his More Music NY, Deconstruct, and Novel Sound labels.

The other productions come from some of the man's peers: Joey Anderson, Jus-Ed, JM De Frias, DJ Qu, Deconstruct partner Anthony Parasole, and Black Jazz Consortium (of one, namely Fred Peterkin).
