Binkbeats to release Private Matter Previously Unavailable Pt. 3

On March 8, composer, producer & multi-instrumentalist Binkbeats will unveil the remarkable third and final chapter of his Private Matter Previously Unavailable EP-trilogy. The EP Private Matter Previously Unavailable Pt. 3 will be self-released. On release day Binkbeats will present his new music at Kytopia in Utrecht. The new single Drones In My Bones is out now.

Private Matter Previously Unavailable Pt. 3 marks a surprising shift in the Dutch sound wizard’s body of work. Renowned for translating live instrumentation into baffling sonic abstractions, Binkbeats now leans more than ever into his instincts as a composer, applying brass, strings, and textural soundscapes to create a gripping, cinematic listening experience.

Frank Wienk, the real name of Binkbeats, uses the Private Matter Previously Unavailable project as a creative self-interrogation of sorts, a quest to find his definitive voice. The results revealed a proclivity towards an abundance of styles and forms. On Pt.1, widescreen floor-fillers alternated hot-blooded jazz/breakbeat hybrids. Pt.2 unfolded with even more intrepid firsts: the atmospheric bare-bones slow burner ‘Earth’ is the first Binkbeats-track built around the more traditional pop idiom of vocals and lyrics. Pt. 3 finds Wienk pushing his music to unnerving new depths. The track Bylina is a more vocal-based track inspired by ancient Russian literature and folklore. Chapel Of The Blind Cathar, featuring Jaga Jazzist’s Lars Horntveth on clarinet, channels some of David Lynch’s most unnerving film work, shapeshifting promptly into creepy upper-register vocal drones and throbbing tribal beats.

The EP bookends with Drones In My Bones, a textural beast of a track that utilizes guitar feedback, Indonesian percussion, and electronic noise, romped up with a menace apropos to Fuck Buttons at their most wayward. Check out the one-take video of this track below.

Binkbeats first turned heads around the world with his Beats Unraveled-series, which found him performing tracks by Aphex Twin, J. Dilla and Flying Lotus entirely live and in single takes. The dazzlingly inventive, faithful ways Wienk renders these complex original works drew hot praise from the likes of Questlove, Thom Yorke, and The Gaslamp Killer. Binkbeats toured the world and played festivals like Le Guess Who?, Best Kept Secret, Motel Mozaique and Les Ardentes since. He also played headline shows in Concert Gebouw Amsterdam and The Royal Albert Hall in London.

On March 8th Binkbeats will present his new music in Kytopia, his musical home in the centre of Utrecht, which will shut down by the end of March. This is also the start of the European tour.
