As electronic musical equipment became somewhat more affordable in the mid 90’s, production values once unattainable found their way onto independently produced records. Samples could be layered, with intricate arrangements, and electronic dance music transformed from simple break-beats to something a little more complicated.
One of the groups pushing that sonic envelop was We™. They featured the talents of DJ Olive aka Gregor Asch, Lloop, and Once 11. After releasing three brilliant albums that challenged speakers, they left fans longing for more. “Out for Now” is a driving, slightly mysterious track that falls somewhere between “Big Beat,” and as Gregor Asch once put it, “Illbient.” It’s from their 2000 Decentertainment album released on the sadly defunct Asphodel Record label, and it's the perfect introduction to a group that deserved much more attention.
