Arkivet

Always

For a few years now, Lisbon has been a better place with the presence of french keyboardist, composer, beat maker and DJ Julien “Larry Quest” Berland. When Julien arrived he had just released his debut EP on the revered Delusions of Grandeur label (headed by one of the UK’s greats, Jimpster).

Hot on the heels of this love, Ka§par met Julien and both started a long and fruitful relationship that would place Julien at the top tier of Lisbon-based producers and DJ’s with a string of impressive releases, some of them on PERCEBES MÚSICA: “Faíscas”, “Austro” and now his final
piece as a Lisbon resident “Entrega” - as he prepares to head back to Paris in search of bigger and better conquests.

In this, his final opus for Percebes in 2023, Julien crafts another tryptic of incredible funky technosoul bangers! All three tracks present common features: fast paced tempo, latin-themed rhythms on top of bumpin’ four-to-the-floor stompin’, full and delicious chord stabs and pad progressions and a feeling of timeless soul and jazzfunk music printed into their melodies. These tracks will be incredible picks when played against 313 classics or soulful nuyorican house vibes.

- “Loop Hall” is a tense and dubby techno soul slammer. Luscious pads spiked by stabby organs, aided by a resonant squelchy 303 funk bass and lot’s of smart percussion. Clear, clean cut production and a solid, club heavy mix and master for the win. Very evocative of some of Carl
Craig’s most classic work.

- “Father Fader” has a housier feel: a few smartly picked sampled vocal bits and smart key chops looped into a very raw analog sounding beat, while a heart racing narrative evolves around the stacking of stabs and organs that keep building on an ever increasing galvanizing tension. Peak time, fast paced deep winner.

- “Worshipping Express” brings faith and spirituality into the fold, by respectfully borrowing a classic gospel, organ driven house template and pressing it against Quest’s usual corrosive bubble-rubber 303 lines. The surprise comes when the honky tonk piano dresses the whole affair
in a southern fried funk! It’s a clear Los Hermanos/Gerald Mitchell tribute delivered with great transparency and we know it’s going to be a special option for the discerning dance floor minded DJ giants of this world. Reel rite!!

CLUB SPARKLE MIX 💖

In a new series of upcoming releases, we explore techniques and structure of Popular Music transformed to extended, club friendly dub concepts through the collaborative process. Sounds were sourced, generated, sampled, looped, saturated, filtered and warped to create new alternative works from vinyl samples, sourced sound from retailers and studio recordings.

This first set of tracks reaches out to collaborators for administration, artwork, and additional mixing and mastering. When working with Miguel from Team Green, a brief was presented with initial concepts for their interpretation and response to the music. The end product was a collaboration where record sleeves were recycled and the process of creating a silkscreen image would be applied onto the object to represent something old being recycled and reused for a new purpose.

How Ya Feel, How Ya Feel is a slow Techno track that embarks on a journey of familiar grooves reminiscent of Joey Beltram’s classic New York Techno days. As sweat rolls down the breast bone for the first time in the night, one surrenders to the groove with a nod to Chicago and Detroit scenes while tuning into the soul when this song is noticed.

Fries is a Minimal Tech House release with a damp organ bassline that is driven by a 909 Kick pushing out as if it was breaking through your chest. T. Nguyen’s creative outlook melds sonic frequencies inspired by The Pet Shop Boys, Sade and pop female vocals. An early breakdown after the hats, brings up a delayed filled spanish style guitar, while layered vocals swim dynamically to be greeted with 303 arps. This and the previous tracks had additional mixing by Fedrico from Art Facility out of Brooklyn NY and Adam Boose from Cleveland. The pair integrated classic tape and mixing techniques to make the tracks meld with each other.

Uh Ohh, comes to be the third track exploring sounds and rhythms of UK Funky and Afro House music after Black Coffee’s Grammy Winning album. Right from the start, one hears a perpetuating bassline with short synth stabs opening up behind some melodic keys. The drop sets up the strings section with reverberated vocals with a coating of rhythmic shakers to keep the club moving. The track has nods to Beyonce, patterns of Bucie, and shuffles from DJ Sneak. The track was sent to Manchester base mastering engineer Matt Sargeant, which gave it the classic “up north” sound.
