this incense smells like shit without you

Brazilian composer, musician and sound artist CARLA BOREGAS debut LP for iDEAL is called "Pena ao Mar". Maybe a deeply personal meditation on the artist's love for the ocean. Carefully composed electronic music that is warm, sometimes rough but always capturing. First solo one since a limited 2016 cassette. Its pressed onto deep blue semi transparent vinyl at Grama in Porto in 300 copies. Cover is designed by our dear friend Philip Marshall and it is no doubt a strong, massive debut.

Smooth as velvet, this track is a soulful story of love and connection on a warm Florida night. Atmospheric pads wash over a groovy bassline, creating an immersive, electronic vibe full of deep feelings.

Performance day is finally here – and our excitement has amplified tenfold. Tonight beholds the world-first performance between the London Contemporary Orchestra and Actress – which we have had the honour to commission and curate alongside the LCO, and will also broadcast live from the Barbican tonight. Today, we are celebrating with a Debut from notable cellist, composer, producer and LCO soloist, Oliver Coates.

His Upstepping mini-album opus – forthcoming on Moshi Moshi's contemporary classical and experimental label, PRAH Recordings – illustrates Coates' deeply contrasting interests in music. Having formerly collaborated with Jonny Greenwood, Mica Levi and now also Actress, and listing his direct influence from the likes of early Orbital and Photek, electronic reflections can easily be traced in the instrumental lyricism and classically versed composition patterns of each of Upstepping's eight tracks. On being asked about "Timelapse (Walrus)", Coates explained to us: "I was living in a hotel for a month because our flat got flooded, and listening to the chromatic steps of happy / sinister early nineties techno. Then I was taking cello harmonics and cutting off the fronts and making sample keyboards out of them. Everything that sounds like it could be a piano or keys starts from a piece of cello residue. The spoken audio is a small child saying ‘small child gets scared to death’. The body of the cello makes everything woody with the colours. I like techno made out of spruce."

Catch Oliver Coates' Upstepping masterpiece dropping on 13th May. Tune in to the live stream of Coates playing alongside the LCO and Actress tonight at the Barbican (20:30 GMT)
