 BBC - Experimental Review - Bogdan Raczynski, Renegade Platinum Mega Dance Attack Party: Don The Plate
Bogdan's drill'n'bass - forged by Aphex, Squarepusher, uZiq and others - is the critically derided bastard grandchild of all that early 90's glory.
Bogdan and his cohorts may be a symptom of the moral decay of a once mighty civilization, fiddling while [London] burns, laughing at their own ka ka and trying to eat crisps with a knife and fork (as the cover appears to illustrate).
Bogdan's 'fnck you deejay' (off the album 'thinking of you' is a superb backlash against his critics, tearing holes out of anyone fool enough to 'direspect his track'.

 THE HEART AND SOUL OF A NEW MACHINE - Bogdan Raczynski’s Sickeningly Sweet Love Songs
Bogdan Raczynski, whose musical output up to now has been some all-well-and-good skittery techno on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label, has just released a bona fide masterpiece.
Raczynski breaks some cardinal rules of his usual electronic genre here, taking risks that few except maybe the aforementioned Richard D. James have taken before; things like singing and using traditional instruments like accordions and trumpets alongside the techy grit of analogue and digital noisemakers.
Raczynski: I had a brief stint of that in Tokyo, sleeping in the sex district because it was always lit and warm.

Like Richard James, Raczynski is not one to let tone deafness stand in his way of his crooning.
After the first listen, I had to ask myself if Raczynski, a cranky guy famous for his pisstakes and misdirection, was offering some kind of send-up of heart-on-sleeve trends in underground music.
Raczynski is swinging for the seats with this one.

 Bogdan Raczynski
Raczynski is a member of the Rephlex club, so there are a lot of similarities between his music and the weird, 808 and CGD frenzy of his lablemates.
Despite the differences, however, the music on this, the second Bogdan release, is equally compelling as its predecessor.
The big differences here are the vocals, which seem to be performed by an electronic baby (using filters and other plug-ins for effect, no doubt).

On Bogdan Raczynski's fifth album, My Love I Love, the Polish-born, American-raised, England-based artist reveals what many fans and critics have suspected all along: that the court jester of experimental electronic music might not be all that funny.
Add Raczynski's angry polyrhythms, bogus press releases, and punk ethos, and you've got a bratty personality that suggests that the process is more important than the content.
Gone are Raczynski's past steroid-fueled drum assaults, replaced with souped-up Casio notes and a voice hungry to cry.

 BOGDAN RACZYNSKI Renegade Platinum Mega Dance Attack Party: Don The Plates
Born in Poland, Bogdan has lived in the US, Japan and Brazil before being spotted by the Braindance Central gatekeepers on a pirate radio and brought over to London.
Raczynski’s playful and utterly anarchic music was further developed on his second album released only a few months later.
Playing on the unpredictability of his music, Bogdan’s fourth opus was a total shift in style, as he deliberately dropped his over active beats almost entirely to focus on melodic structures and subtle soundscapes.

 Bogdan Raczynski - Boku Mo Wakaran - Review
After just picking up his Samurai Math Beats release a couple weeks back and hearing his contribution of a wack-out mix of Autechre to the recent Warp 10+3 Remixes 2CD set, I was on a mission to find his other album at some point in the near future.
On the two releases that I have (which is I think everything he's released to this point), he tweaks and freaks the beat like really none other I've heard.
Perhaps coinciding one for each letter of the English alphabet, Raczynski pumps out 26 tracks and over 70 minutes of wiggity-wack beats and other goofy nonsense on the disc.

 Drowned in Sound - Features - Interviews - "Play Everything Like Your House Is On Fire"
Bogdan Raczynski is a 26-year-old shaven headed Pole with an unpronounceable name.
Bogdan’s mix of heartfelt vocals in a world of cold electronica, plus a penchant for tasty floor-fucking drum & bass and bizarre instrumentation — most markedly on 2001’s landmark accordion-fest ‘myloveilove’ — has firmly plonked him in a field flagged ‘rather special’.
Bogdan’s off on his first UK tour for a very, very long time in November, and it should go without saying that you’d be slightly daft, a proper bastard even, to miss it.

Bogdan Raczynski is an engineer hired to maintain Aphex Twin's Rephlex device.
He recoginzed Raczynski as a genius, and traveled back in time to abduct him while he was at the age of eight.
This kept Bogdan's musical career from beginning at all, creating a time paradox.

 Disquiet: interviews: Bogdan Raczynski   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Raczynski will graciously discount the comparison, but it's worth considering as the albums unfold.
Bogdan Raczynski mines everything from tin xylophones to windup noisemakers, plus a wide array of modern synthesizers, to construct his purposefully distracted music.
More likely, though, those sounds are important touchstones — the sonic memories that inform Raczynski's work, most of which bounces around with the pace of an arcade game.

 Gusset Review Things
Gliding almost seamlessly from Scott's DJ set into the first stuttering beats (seamlessly stuttering; oxymoron?) of his live set Bogdan leant over his laptop with a menace matched only by the sonic assault that follows.
I’m not sure when Scott became Bogdan as they seemed to blend into each other but what followed was quite an assault on the senses.
Angry, loud and possibly illegal, this set could not have been more visceral if Bogdan had arrived on a horse and gutted the thing live on stage.

However, on Myloveilove, his 'soundtrack for sobbing', Bogdan resurfaces with an assault on the human heart in his strongest album to date.
Crying accordions, broken-hearted beats, wallowing trumpets stolen from an anonymous grade school, flutes, solid-wood guitars and a vocal repertoire reminiscent of the fall season in Nagoya (when birds sing gently, yet rain pours) all feature on this musical document, depicting 2 years of the joys, pain and anguish of love.
These tracks would be hard as hell if it wasn't for the rapturous, almost obsessive joy and passion expressed in the lyrics and music.

 Bogdan Raczynski - Ibiza Anthems Volume 4 - Review
If you've heard anything by Bogdan Raczynski, chances are that you won't be forgetting it anytime soon.
While it definitely takes a more experimental route for the whole of the release, it also feels like just a bunch of sonic foolery as opposed to real tracks that engage.
The final two tracks on the disc work intermittantly as well, but never really take hold, except for the squirrely ending of "Trance And Burn." If you're a big fan, it's something to seek out, otherwise wait up for his next full length or snag one of his earlier releases.

 [No title]
BOGDAN is the samurai man-child who dreams from Grand Prix bed sheets and can play a tuneless trumpet like nobody's business.
Although known for more noisy music, on his fourth album myloveilove Bogdan took the music his music into uncharted audio with crying accordions, broken-hearted beats, wallowing trumpets stolen from an anonymous grade school, flutes, solid-wood guitars and a vocal repertoire reminiscent of the fall season in nagoya (when birds sing gently, yet rain pours).
Bogdan live is almost cacophonous, his music sounds as though it is performed on contact miked bins and sick instruments, full of feed back and disharmony, with Bogdan's trademark bass and something sounding like a chicken trying to bark everything at a zillion beats per minute, somehow, again it all sounds gorgeous.

For as yet unspecified reasons, it appears that Bogdan Raczynski will soon be hanging up his synthesizers, drum machines and mixers for good.
Hopefully Raczynski will reconsider and continue to make music for years to come -- but if that turns out not to be the case, My Love I Love certainly isn’t a bad note on which to end.

The idea was to have it released on Vespertine, but it turned out to not fit into that intimate and introvert mood, so it was pocketed and brought out in a new form for the following album.
The first version of the song was a collaboration with Polish-born drum'n'bass DJ Bogdan Raczynski.
A few months later, they met up in New York and the song was born - with the working title "Embrace Fortress" - a sharp, upbeat version where Björk sings to hard beats and Bogdan muses about planets and space in the interlude.

 Bogdan Raczynski : My Love I Love - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
With totally expected unpredictability, Bogdan Raczynski distanced himself from the percussion-heavy drill'n'bass of Boku Mo Wakaran and Samurai Math Beats to produce his gentlest album to date.
Sincerity was always in question when discussing Raczynski, and it was difficult to determine just how much this major shift in style was a prank on the emotions of the infamously orthodox IDM community -- but My Love I Love had some of the best songs of Raczynski's career.
Tracks three, seven, and nine were mind-throttlingly awkward but in a quiet sort of way, and the LP was generally very melodic and nearly beatless, similar to Kid 606's P.S. I Love You but less accessible and more like Boards of Canada scoring Terry Gilliam's 12 Monkeys.

 Gridface: Bogdan Raczynski & Bjork: "Who Is It?"
From the spoken introduction on the 12-inch, however, it’s clear this is in fact a Bogdan Raczynski mix of one of the more pop-friendly tracks from Björk’s latest album.
On the second half of the track, also introduced by Raczynski (“this is the part where they go into outer space and there’s asteroids and stuff”), Björk’s vocals are distorted, as are the bass-heavy beats.
This is a cute, fun mix, although it probably could have fit on a 7-inch.

Very frisky, this one, being mainly deviant, hyperactive electronica that makes most of Raczynski's contemporaries on Rephlex sound sedate.
As usual, too, there's a frightening intensity that underpins all the pranks and old-school rave references—it's worth remembering that Raczynski's last LP, Myloveilove, was a series of lo-fi confessionals.
