Heavy Sheet present a reissue of Mocky's Saskamodie, originally released on CD in 2009. In 2009, Mocky made a radical decision: after having become one of the cult figures of the leftfield Berlin electronic music scene of the early 2000s, Mocky retired his sampler and travelled to Paris to embark on an all acoustic journey with the producer Renaud Letang in the vintage Studio Ferber, previously inhabited by the likes of Nina Simone and Serge Gainsbourg. Named after a song he made up when he was seven, using imaginary words, Saskamodie was an instant new future/retro classic: a return to pure musical expression by a cutting-edge artist who was no longer bound by the electronic music scene. Saskamodie was a brave step into unchartered waters, the sound of a musician exploring where his talent can take him with rare confidence and authority. At different points you could hear a vintage soundtrack suite, a debonair jazz record (minus the solos) or a golden era '60s soul ballad recording... yet, as if all these charming stylistic sorties weren't loveable enough, cut Saskamodie through the middle and you'll find that sweet, inescapably infectious melody is the lifeblood trickling through it's core. Mocky is listed as playing drums, bass, Rhodes, piano, guitar, percussion, bells, recorder, vocals, whistle, organ. And toys as well as writing string arrangements. Taylor Savvy, Gonzales, Jamie Lidell, and Feist contribute additional instrumental and backing vocal performances that make this record sound more like a live performance than a studio creation. Saskamodie has definitely stood the test of time and Mocky still successfully follows the path he started with this recording - be it on his series of digital Moxtapes, his album Key Change (HEAVY 003CD/LP, 2015), his recent "recorded-in-one-day" jazz album A Day At United (HEAVY 007CD/LP, 2018), his score for the Japanese Netflix anime Carole & Tuesday or his writing and production work for the likes of Feist or Kelela. Originally only released as CD/digital download, this ten-year anniversary, limited edition vinyl edition brings Saskamodie to it's original form, re-mastered for deluxe 180 gram vinyl and accompanied by an exclusive bonus 7" with a new single edit of the album's hit "Birds Of A Feather", a solo piano version of "Guiding Light" by Chilly Gonzales, the cover version of "Birds Of A Feather" by LA's underground funk sensation Vulfpeck, and a remix featuring Wu Tang's GZA.
