Tim Sheridan - Bionic Language

VVWI recordings is pleased as punch to welcome New York's greatest electronic export.

Adultnapper AKA Francis Harris has worked hand in glove with esteemed VVWI stalwart Mr C (as "Sycophantic Slags") for many years and has single-handedly produced many, many a rocking tune under the Adultnapper moniker to great underground acclaim all over the world.

Thanks to VVWI's close association and friendship with Mr C, it was merely a matter of time before Adultnapper kindly consented to get on board the good ship VVWI and head wrongwards to the wind.

As for the track, Bionic Language is a more esoteric package from Tim Sheridan than his work for VVWI to date. Inspired by his tinkering about with a mic, it bolts together tiny snippets of vox to make a "bionic language" of Sheridan's own nonsensical devising, transposed high and low and twisted and worked into a Voodoo-esque chant. Of the two versions, one doffs its imaginary hat to - whisper it - breaks. And the other is a more dancefloor-driven floor-botherer that, in Sheridan's more trademark style, builds a classically inspired structure from down-and-dirty beats to a crescendo of weirdness - as well as taking sharp unexpected turns into tech-ness, just when least expected.

The Adultnapper take was an intentional invitation to bring a darker edge to the mix. He retains the original loose and organic percussion work, but infuses it with a deeper and murkier undercurrent, completing a package of mixes to be proud of.
