Debut release by Canadian duo, TRACTILE (aka Adam Young & Joel Boychuk) from Sarnia. If someone was asked what it would sound like if all of the most frightening, most exciting and sexiest scenes in cinema history were spliced together and merged with a robotic dance score, TRACTILE would surely be the reply. The name itself, coined by Adam Young and Joel Boychuk to represent their obsession with ‘seducing recorded sound and controlling the uncontrollable’, is a hybrid of the words ‘track’ and ‘tactile’ and perfectly defines their approach to music. One part sparse, metallic techno, one part Detroit style electro-funk they deliver fast moving, action packed tunes that hurtle forward on several levels. Over the course of this EP, they usher in and out so many wickedly crafted riffs and glitches that it’s difficult to keep up. It’s the sound of a production partnership at the top of its game, effortlessly shifting from rough angular beats to flowing, floor-friendly grooves at the flick of a switch. The five tracks featured on Silent Movie are the product of sessions that took place in and around their contribution to min2MAX (“Unquenchable”). After spending an abnormal amount of time in the studio (Sarnia, Ontario, Canada), they ventured out for a few live shows in 2006, shaking dance floors across North America and Europe, impressing and exciting their audiences far beyond expectation in a quest to perfect this EP.
