TIN MAN

​

Tin Man is hitting his stride touring the world and approaching the 100 shows per year mark. Having been around the block, Tin Man has built a substantial following through his back catalogue featuring his unmistakable signature acid sound. This makes him a favorite of the underground. Tin Man’s music gets played out by most all the most respected underground djs on a regular basis. Recent releases (Bunker NYC, Ostgut, Infrastructure, Acid Test) and shows with collaborators, Gunnar Haslam as Romans and together with Cassegrain, have been drawing attention. Collabarations with Donato Dozzy have achieved cult status.  The Rolling Ones has a given special opportunity to share Tin Man’s side as a DJ and not just as a live performer. Their forthcoming productions as a duo feature Tin Man’s emotional sensibility and Jordan’s deep atmosphere adhered and amplified through rolling and jacking beats. 

 

JORDAN

JUNO.CO.UK: ROLLING ONES

​

For its premier release, Division Point Industries is proud to announce a 4-track EP by Rolling Ones, a collaborative project featuring Johannes Auvinen (Tin Man) and Jordan Poling (Jordan). Rolling Ones finds its voice in the synthesis of each artist's sound, combining Tin Man's acidic melodies with Jordan's deep, textural pads. Debuting at the Division Point Industries residency at Bushwick's notorious Bossa Nova Civic Club, Rolling Ones marked their arrival by playing a DJ back-to-back set.

Opening the record is '93' Mustang', a muscular, no-nonsense roller built around deep wells of warm bass and slick-piston percussion. As it builds, Tin Man's signature acidic squelch dances in the remaining space, giving the track a sense of both life and depth. Next is 'Faded Delorian', an abyssal burner that refracts its ghostly tones around a panning labyrinth of crystalline synths. On the flip is 'Slammed Cadillac', a sinewy, stripped down stomper of clattering percussion and caustic 303s. 'Jacked Up Impala' finishes the record as a jacking acid tool.

Founded by Jordan Poling, Division Point Industries is a new label built on the success of a collaborative residency with Cory James at Brooklyn's Bossa Nova Civic Club. Having hosted artists ranging from the established to the underground, Division Point Industries has crafted a no-nonsense take on deep house and techno that is rich in history while remaining focused on the future.
