JAN VAN DEN BROEKE: '11000 DREAMS' LP I STROOM STRLP-005 I 8 MAY 2017
'The third release on STROOM is introvert music gold by Jan Van den Broeke, the man behind the eighties diy/lofi wave outfits Absent Music, June11 and The Misz. This is his first carreer spanning compilation, covering over 30 years of music, carefully selected for STROOM by Nosedrip and Jan himself.
The album tries to cover the gap between ambient and song, with music assembled in layers, using electronic and accoustic instruments and samples from radio,tv, field recordings, old tapes, movies... As a youngster of his time & place, Jan was heavily influenced by the output of labels like Les Disques du Crépuscule and Crammed, but the compilation shows an intense research towards a highly personal sound.
The album comes with extended liner notes by Jan himself, telling the story behind each track. Artwork and design by Nana Esi.'
