Following his debut album on Bedroom Research and a series of EPs, Montreal-based producer and sound designer Fade Runner (a.k.a. Simon Girard) has teamed up with Ancient Robot to deliver ‘Geometric Smoke’ (out July 8), a six track release showcasing his grasp of meticulously crafted beats and engaging melodies.

Drawing from a background as a DJ and collector of early drum-n-bass records, Girard creates layered, atmospheric pieces that are well-grounded with intricately pulsating percussion. While the EP’s melodic content seeps in and out of focus through pastoral or oceanic sounds, carefully designed rhythms capture the listener’s attention throughout.

With nods to the work of sound-design-focused beatmakers such as Amon Tobin, Girard’s sound tempers homemade breaks and bass with emotionally-driven melodies influenced by his admiration of Japanese pop, video game soundtrack artists such as Nobuo Uematsu, and the sci-fi worlds of French graphic artist Mœbius.
