Docile Recordings is for itself. We are an expression of the beautiful moments that hold us frozen. Warm confusion that breathes life to the senses. The Docile sound captures a nostalgia for times yet to come. We are a familiar resonance always shifting for the correct approach. Always aiming for the heart and soul. Docile speaks to the basic instincts of the techno rebel; supplying sonic reasons to trudge on. The “last of a kind e.p.” is the 32nd release from the Docile Recordings record label. The feel of this release ranges from a pragmatic spiritual funk to a loose heabangin’ frivolity. Docile 32 is 4/4 minimal held together by soulful synth and smart percussion advanced by ringing highs and detuned horns. Proper mathematics of programming moves a mix match of harmonies through a gauntlet of invisible edits gaining momentum until it is taken away. This is Docile music.

Docile #27 is a mesh of simple harmony, rational rhythm, and vocal non-sense. It is a smooth sound arrangement of analog and digital elements. Each release brings a deeper dimension to the concept of Docile. Docile relies on unconventional bass lines that move a stripped down funk through drunken tones. Vocal clips pop and yip inside the 4/4 time. Clean edits and effects bind and define the relevance of each ingredient. Docile’s mission is to tease out a style of minimal that is neglected by a distracted world.

Docile Recordings is an independent artist label that chooses to follow its’ own identity. Docile works to describe the beauty of our existence and depths of our depravity. These tracks represent a struggle to preserve a time and place into the grooves of the only medium that can accurately display our craft. Docile is vision kept alive by good will and loyal service. Docile recordings number twenty five starts with a soulful bop stumbling around nonsense words that form rhythm in an upbeat minimal jam. Track two spirits a moving melody through random digitals and walls of harmonic hypnotics. Track three has a childlike appeal with its cheap keyboard and boisterous synth knocking an easy melody through moments of naive transcendence. Track four lumbers with a simple sterile funk that’s pulled along by a masochistic chant. The names of these tracks are listed below.

Docile shapes tone and midi to make sense out of random noise. We refine and redefine melodies giving them the warmth of new life. Our style is an unrelenting adherence to the simple. Our groove moves cool and easy and is often following the path of a drunken love arrangement. Our sound reaches childlike for a funk that is beautiful. Docile is an artist label. Our art is the craft of vinyl as well as the music on it. We are an independent voice that walks a lonely path no matter the cost. Docile still believes.

Sound exists to be stolen, cut up, re-arranged, and turned on its head. Good sound, once produced, should be preserved for proper arrangement.
Docile #21 is a collection of elements that have been captured from unique sources and fused into fluid creations. Environment and progress of time are catalysts for a creation to form a process. Docile’s nameless and faceless process works to liberate a new sound and describe its’ own natural pattern.
Docile connects to the random to pull out patterns; those patterns can be honed down to construct a logical but abstract funk. Mistakes are made and processed and reworked into a melody. Nonsensical, indiscriminant, drunkin’ funk turns to soulful harmony with presence and conviction. Immature tantrums and rambunchous crunching mask a bi-polar need for smooth rides with snacks and naps. The tracks on this vinyl record are four

The development of the Docile sound has evolved at its’ own pace over time. The assembly of sound is an intuitive process, and the acceptance of errors is a vital part of the Docile working method. Docile is a labor of love that takes a stand against mass produced music that an artist is well removed from. Docile has a hands-on dedication to every part of the vinyl process to ensure what you get is a legitimate effort. Team Docile are craftsmen that use their collective skills to produce vinyl with a unique quality and sense of style. The over all sound of Docile #20 can be described as soulfully dark, immature, and lovesick amid a funky party atmosphere. The personalities of each track nudge you to its direction with simple grooves that tell stories that are felt without words. These are tracks of moving Detroit minimal that stutter, break and turn with a basic efficiency. Tracks that share a dark irony in root, but somehow glitch towards a positive. Docile looks inward for inspiration and describes its’ self in this revolving time and place.

Each new season must demonstrate progression, growth, and change. The 16th release in seven years, the latest from Docile promises to amaze the digital world while retaining our strong analog base. We stay in the midst of an ever evolving sound while expressing our own individuality. As an artist label, their goal is to provide a unique version of Detroit minimal. Old sensibilities are used to guide basic progression along a path of tweaks and burps. Ticks, clicks and melody are used to hold together the shifting center of a busy bop. Soulfully simple synths combine with warm bass lines, and churn their way toward a shared end. This is a record of a time and place. Please listen to it.

From a dirty Detroit basement comes the next installment! This just in from Andy Garcia and David Wulle. Docile releases are always found in Richie Hawtin's minimal sets and mix CD series. This release is four quality minimal and sparse daydreamers mixed down on analog gear(no laptops in the Docile dungeon!).
