Album Review: Logic1000 - You've Got the Whole Night to Go

It's about 11:50 on a Wednesday when I'm writing this, so I really don't have that much of a night ahead of me... unless you count early morning as still part of the night before, in which case I've got until sunrise! Still, this might not be enough time to listen to Logic1000's EP You've Got the Whole Night to Go to my heart's content. The Berlin-based, Australian-born DJ famously produces her material using only her laptop speakers. It's an outlandish production choice, but it gets results! The tinny compression of her speaker output doesn't hamper the range or depth of her textures, but it may cause her to favor thinner basslines. A lot of DJs overload their tracks with bass, but that is not a problem for Logic1000. She is able to keep it 100 without such a crutch. In fact, she's able to keep it 1000! Easing up on the low end really gives numbers like the closer "Her" a nimble, ringing pounce, while simultaneously loosening up slightly heavier tracks like "I Won't Forget" to permit lift and delicate nuance through tactically streamlined structures. Her choice of samples on "Medium" rotate with refreshing rapidity, dancing before your eyes like the stills of a strip of film in cadence with the breaching back and forth of the silvery synth rhythms. Give You've Got the Whole Night to Go as much time as it needs to get you into a euphoric state of mind this evening... just don't forget to sleep and hydrate as well.
