@ccl-url's debut solo record, Plot Twist EP, remains true to everything you’ve read or heard about their artistic approach, balancing production which immerses, intrigues and surprises. A record which connects fantastical, fanatical and referential sonorous elements creating moments of emotional outpouring when we’re all alone together, on the dancefloor.

In a debut EP that transcends genre boundaries, Seta Loto guides us through the soundscapes of 'Earth-Related System’ forthcoming on the Lyon-based label Comic Sans. With a sophisticated fusion of minimal bass, atmospheric and UK-style techno, dub and dancehall, each of the five tracks develops its own ecosystem, distorted by alterations of reality as if on psychedelics.

Delving into the concept of a sound infrastructure, the artist lays its foundation in the earth as the primary element. An intangible low-end drifts over the surface of the sound, unceasingly creating an intense, enveloping atmosphere reminiscent of tectonic shifts. Above, organic textures manipulated by cutting-edge sound design techniques and clever re-sampling work neatly share the remaining sonic environment.

Seta Loto's creations resonate with a spiritual essence, evoking an intimate relationship with the wonders of nature and rootedness to the earth.

"I made this while dotting about Asia across multiple studios, cafes & hotel rooms so I'm happy with how it came together. Think I've managed to take the track into a different, darker space using mostly just the original stems, heavily processed to create a new sound palette while keeping it in the same world as the original. Been a fan of Or:la since the UK Lonely release which I fully rinsed when it came out so it's great to be asked to get on the remix duties" ~ @yushh

comicsansrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sal-y-sangre

From high above, atop the highest peak of the tallest mountain, grows a shrieking plant that the locals call Malesa, a spanish word that means “weeds”, if we allow ourselves a slight adjustment in spelling. But far from being an undesirable growth, the duo formed by Paola Avilés and Eloi Petillon represents a promise we wish to see flourish in all its glory.

Between epic drone, enchanting trip-hop ballads, and club tracks written under the moonlight, they release a hybrid and elusive debut album that still remains accessible to all. "Sal y sangre" (Salt and Blood): two alchemical ingredients mirroring love and madness; two crucial elements for crafting a fantastical world, where stone giants, snake tongues, mad dogs and unfaithful feathers meet at the crossroads. Thus, a symbiotic relationship between fantasy and reality rise up and transmute in the music itself, in which digital sound design techniques cohabits with field recordings and acoustic instruments from the tangible world.

With a sense of poetry and esotericism, Malesa unveils a magical chiaroscuro work, spelling invitations to dance and invocation rituals which seamlessly succeed each other in a strange coherence. Bewitching anyone who dared to pull it out, the weed definitely takes root for good and will soon be ready to whisper its magic to the clouds…

Decoys explore the ways that internal perception distorts and develops as it navigates the fluid boundaries of the self. The EP’s title invokes the distracting and alluring elements of an incomplete double—an illusion that, upon closer inspection, uncovers something perhaps even deeper than its originating source. The title track pairs driving rhythms with dark, rustling atmospheres and layers of competing bass punctured by the screech of unidentifiable machines to create a relentless forward momentum with no clear destination. “Imitation Body” layers found sound to assemble a beat that pushes and pulls with a distinct swing, anchored by ghost-like ambiance and an insistent low end. On “Fear Of Others,” paranoia and uncertainty channel into a chest-rattling dubstep excursion. As the track shifts between two distinct moods, the elements anchoring it mutate and shift. The EP closes with “Respite,” a breathy half-time closer accented by bursts of frenetic sound and warbling bass, as though the music itself is resisting disintegration.
