Apoena - Verde [PURISMW63]

Damián Schwartz makes a welcome return to Pulp for his third full-length album, La Sal De Tu Especie. The 11 track record was written over the last three years as a way of coping with some tough experiences and features remixes from K15 and Gifted & Blessed. It once again finds the Madrid producer serving up the sort of richly musical house that has always stood him apart.

Schwartz has been away for a while but emerged in the early 2000s with an artful take on house music. As a student of jazz, composition and bass, his intricate grooves have always been embellished with real melodic craftsmanship. In the past, they have come on this label, Esperanza and A Harmless Deed which he co-runs with José Cabrera. He has put out two albums before now and also works under the Epiphany alias as a producer and live act. He is a real master of his analog machinery and someone who never fails to bring fresh ideas. This superbly adventurous and widescreen new album proves that once again and shows off diverse influences such as 90's broken beat by acts like Hanna and 4 Hero, the early IDM of LFO and Aphex Twin and the Detroit house and electro styles of greats such as Juan Atkins, Teknotika, Marcellus Pittman and Kyle Hall.

It kicks off with 'Renacido' which is a cinematic synth opener that places you into orbit. 'La Elipa' is expansive and jazzy house with cosmic chord work over the tight, punchy kicks and 'Lopp' then gets physical with broken beat drums and funky bass dancing around each other to uplifting effect. The superb 'Zwei Danke' is another masterclass in off-grid beat programming and soulful machine sounds that captures the essence of early Detroit house. 

It is remixed by K15, a vital London beatmaker with credits on labels like Eglo and Wild Oats. His version showcases rugged, lo-fi and dusty drums softened by heart-melting chords and angelic vocal coos.

Schwartz's 'Morro Da Urca' is a suspensory ambient interlude that makes way for the crisp electro-funk and starry-eyed pads of 'Rufo,' then 'Meco' cuts loose with boogie bass and glistening drums and perc that voyage through a whole eco-system of bright, nebulous synths. 'Mika' is another out of this world house composition with majestic leads and pixelated pads that bring warmth and future soul. There is real electricity in the freeform keys and corrugated drums of 'Coney Island' that will ensure any dance floor takes off. 

Final remixer Gabriel Reyes-Whittaker aka GB (Gifted & Blessed) is a composer and sound artist whose music is a constant exploration of the bridge between the technological and the ancestral. He flips 'Loop' into an Afro-future jazz dance with infectious percussion and expressive chords that never rest.

La Sal De Tu Especie is a timeless fusion of jazz freedom and house grooves that takes you into a magical new dimension.

Hiroyuki Kato - We Need EP [snippets]

LARRY QUEST - AUSTRO
Julien "Larry Quest" Berland is a young music maker, DJ and arts activist. He was born a french,
lived in London for a while and recently settled in sunny Lisboa. He is a trained keyboardist and a
seasoned producer with works released on revered labels such as Delusions of Grandeur or
Pleasure of Love - and of course Percebes Música, having had his debut on the label with "Faíscas",
released in 2022 and still going strong in DJ playlists.
Julien's sound is brimming with references to solid historic soundscapes, particularly the deepest
end of the Chicago House music spectrum. Berland composes and produces music like someone
who's learned lessons from the likes of such legends as Larry Heard, Boo Williams or Derrick
Carter, but also underground heroes like Ricardo Miranda or Chris Gray.
His EP "Austro" presents three tracks, pristinely created and mixed to weave a tightly knit texture
of deep house that combines elements of jazz, gospel, funk and soul under a relentless electronic
backdrop with clear references to rave culture and bleepy acid.
While "Forest Jump" starts things off with a smooth beginning and takes off to dizzying heights,
"Shoredance" bounces organ stabs with sharp snares and a thigh slapping beat and "303 Moonrise"
evocates that classic, old school UR vibe to great effect.
Eager to get into real house music made by a fresh, up and coming producer? Get into Larry
Quest's brilliant "Austro" and enjoy one of deep house's most interesting current creators.

A1 LARRY QUEST - FOREST JUMP

Growing up with and influenced by the sounds of TR-909 or TR-808 which surrounds you, then you would recognize Adham Zahran's signature sound and his unique skills when he plays with rhythms and catchy melodies, especially on this 'Grain Galaxy'. He also brings us tracks such as 'Ocean Falls' and 'Synth Funk Suit 1' full of pleasant dreamy vibrations that would sound amazing at your local venue, as well as if you just let the decks play at home for your own listening session. Head of Umanuto Records Javas remixed the original 'Grain Galaxy' as a classic house leg warmer to get it moving on the dance floor.
