Eternitè Par Les Astres

Eternité par les Astres

Having been selected by Michael and Emily Eavis as the winners of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition last year, Italian duo @mplusaofficial (Michele and Alessandro) showed the legendary festival a good time and moved onto the rest of the world. With debut album These Days already doing the rounds, the twosome are back with a lively new EP. Inspired by the endless summers of the Adriatic coast, their electronic sound merges disco with something a little more tropical and includes features from Spank Rock and DENA. Taken from their forthcoming album, Anyway Milkyway, we are pleased to present the incredibly catchy premiere of Do The Shout, the summer tune that carries us away to the party island of our dreams. Hit play and try not to dance too hard.

Premiere: M+A - Do The Shout

‘The city is on fire but it’s beautiful’. Burrowing deep into your brain on first listen, Elias’s debut single, Revolution, is utterly arresting. A sublime piece of protest music that has echoes of a Spooky Black and FKA Twigs but also Anthony Hamilton and Sam Cooke. Elias’ gorgeously profound vocal and intricately tender wordplay makes us incredibly excited to hear more. “Revolution is about the beauty of breaking up something you don’t believe in and instead doing something the way that you want to,” explains the Swedish 18 year-old. “It’s not an angry song, it’s more about the excitement of being able to make a brand new start. I wanna capture many things in Revolution, but also the beauty in breaking the norm, the beauty in breaking something old and something you don't agree with. I think every one should do that more. It's a cliché but it's true.”

Lyrics: 

Threatened by the law,
I crawled in a comfortable lap
Crucified by love,
I fell in a predictable trap.
All at what cost?
All I could think about was that.
And all that was lost,
That I've seen in dreams.

Simple as 1 2 3 4, 
methodical persuasion
I know you've done this before,
You've mastered the equation.
But you'll only hurt yourself, not me.
And anyone you've done it to before,
You'll also bear the weight of.
I don't need to settle the score,
You are the perpetrator.
You'll judge yourself, you'll never be free.

The cheater never wins,
Even if he ends the game with the highest score.
And the liar never knows love,
You can't earn that through force.
I know the illusion of power
Just leaves you needing more.
In your loneliest hour,
You'll be haunted by me.

Simple as 1 2 3 4, 
methodical persuasion
I know you've done this before,
You've mastered the equation.
But you'll only hurt yourself, not me.
And anyone you've done it to before,
You'll also bear the weight of.
I don't need to settle the score,
You are the perpetrator.
You'll judge yourself, you'll never be free.

Very few musical acts achieve the levels of unanimous acclaim of Autechre. The English duo of Rob Brown and Sean Booth are not an act you simply like; they are an act you love, fawn over and dream about. They’ve got themselves here over the course of the last 28 years, and have done so by amassing a discography that’s about as perfect, influential and accomplished as could ever be possible. A key Warp label act from day one, they have released tens of albums, well over a ten EPs and have featured on a dizzying amount of essential compilations, mixes and remixes in that time. Without their contribution to the IDM canon, its fair to say the modern musical landscape would look very different. 

Rhythmic but experimental, absorbing yet abstract, cerebral and psychedelic, their ever evolving output is up there with the likes of fellow luminaries Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin as some of the most important in all of electronic music. As well as being fine craftsmen in the studio, Autechre are also revered live performers who really manage to conjure up captivating and otherworldly soundtracks that marry heavy bass with ethereal melody. The pair themselves do not care for genre, but suffice it to say that they have mastered everything from hardcore to ambient to glitch and plenty of indescribables in between. 

When the pair recently laid down an impressive set at Dekmantel Festival, we asked if they might be up for a doing an early inspiration mix, whereby they put together a collection of the sort of electro and hip hop tracks that turned them on as youths. At first they hesitated, pointing out that "we don't do strictly retro stuff, it's too corny.” But alas, a few days later, a huge file landed in our inbox… That file is a 4 hour and 18 minute mix that basically encapsulates not just Autechre’s own influences, but also acts as a fine anthology of the greatest electro sounds of all time. Every sub genre imaginable gets touched upon along the way, with nods to forefathers like Kraftwerk, killer cuts from Man Parrish, classics from Newcleus and retro gold from the likes of The Beat Club. It is a thrilling ride and a truly rare treat that reminds us just why we love Autechre, as well as shining a light on a vast genre that often pays second fiddle to house and techno.
