basic house: i'm not a heaven man

This is a vinyl reissue of the first release of Stephen Bishop's Basic House moniker, originally release as a tape in 2012. Through his music, and his label Opal Tapes, Bishop has been one of the most significant definers of leftfield dance music over the past years. His background in DIY punk and noise is easily identified in his approach to both sound production, general aesthetics, and overall attitude. “I’m Not a Heaven Man” is characterized by a poetic and tape hissed melancholy, sensibly combined with a lo-fi experimental character rendering it a deeply personal take on contemporary electronic music. Slow pulsations of sequenced drones combined with noise with strong emphasis on atmosphere make “I’m Not A Heaven Man” an exquisitve piece of ambient sound design. Limited to 300 copies.
