Facta - Emeline [INC-020]

Valencian producer Pépe's (@pepmanpepe) love of iridescent melodies, velvety pads and complex rhythms has seen him skilfully combine house, bass music and breakbeat in recent years. His music is globally reaching, having garnered attention from top artists including Ben UFO, Peggy Gou, Shanti Celeste, Moxie, Mount Kimbie and Disclosure.  

His heartfelt, mercurial and emotive sound is ever present on his new album for Lapsus, which also incorporates a lush sonic forest, resplendent in detail and jam packed with influences. Album Reclaim' opens the door to experimentation and sound design, while embracing the braindance and hyperpop sphere with surprising maturity. It is an amalgamation of electronic sounds and pulsating structures in which orchestral sounds, folk music, ambient textures and a strong vocal presence, both synthetic and authentic, sparkle. 

Reclaim' imagines a post-human future, where nature once again reclaims lost ground and is free to flourish and take root around manmade structures. Pépe exhibits his personal reverence for the work of Antonio Cortés Ferrando, the architect behind the Espai Verd building, which broke architectural and urban planning norms by using computation to create structures that promote the organic growth of foliage. It is a building designed for the future, where flora cultivates indefinitely.

In Pépe’s own words, "At a time when we have witnessed how nature strives to regain ground, once humans are removed from the streets, it is important to start thinking critically about new techniques in the creation of art and design, and imagining a future where posterity is embodied in the rejuvenation of a greener world".

Reclaim

Pépe - Reclaim [LPS35]

Days seemed to pass by in a blur; they no longer knew what date the calendar showed or what time the clock struck each hour. They extracted fragmented voices from the haze; noticed a change of light in the room; an all engulfing silence slowly taking over, but life was now indistinguishable from dreams and imagination. Like a series of over exposed photos left to wither and fade in a drawer or the fuzzy static that flickered on the TV, they were hovering high above, no longer playing a role in their own life, only watching it play out from the darkness...

London's Control Freak Recordings have got a debut outing on their hands for their first release of 2023. It comes courtesy of Memory Play, the guise of Dialogue co-founder and one half of production and live duo ASYTRYD, Jo Kašpar. The first of two EPs (the second of which will be landing later this year on the label), these three rich techno mutations give us a window into Jo's skilled and meticulous approach to sound designs. Generated on his hardware set up and honed during a three month residency, the music begins his journey into a more personal and conceptual sphere, where he can express himself freely and use performance as a 'method of healing'.

Five years since his last solo outing, Pev makes a very welcome return on his own label for Livity Sound's 60th release.

Having focused on expanding the innovative scope of Livity through a prolific release schedule, frequent label nights and the 10th anniversary Molten Mirrors compilation, on the 'Pulse E.P.', Pev delivers on his reputation for inventive, sharply-focused club music with four lean, focused club tracks across the tempo range.

From the crooked formation and pointillist bleeps of ‘Pulse I’ through the light-footed percussion and airy melodies of ‘Pulse II’ to ‘Pulse III’s strafing techno synths and ‘Pulse IV’s surefooted, bass-loaded house jack, it’s an EP of variation and consistency in equal measure. From the infectious, alien melodic lines to the elegant angles of the drums, not to mention the weighty subs, it’s all strikingly fresh and unmistakably Pev.

@syzuk self-released his 'Mindforms' mini-LP in 2020 - the original release was accompanied by a highly limited run of just 10 dubplates. Deeming this 6-tracker too good not to receive a proper pressing, @controlfreakrecordings presents the first ever complete vinyl run for 'Mindforms'.

@henry-greenleaf takes a decidedly Bristolian approach on Syz' 'Botanic Receptors' reflex, delivering a scorching hot, bass-driven club stomper.

Long Island Sound’s debut album gets fresh treatment from some of the most exciting producers in electronic music. Cromby, Mor Elian, James Shinra and Benjamin Damage feature on Long Island Sound’s Signs of Space imprint. 

The tracks on Lost Connection Remixes are stunning reinterpretations of three tracks from Lost Connection, the debut LP from Irish duo Long Island Sound. For the third track, Mor Elian ups the pace and intensity of the EP with her remix of Dusk. Combining enormous low-end rumbles and syncopated percussion patterns with blissful pads and celestial choirs, Mor’s remix perfectly toes the line between tough and tender.

Premiere: Long Island Sound 'Dusk (Mor Elian Remix)'

Open Mantissa 005 and you’ll find tracks from not one, not two.. or even three of the artists from prior releases. Wait a minute… you’re not saying all four artists from the previous releases have a track on this EP are you? Erm.. I think that might be what we’re saying. Shouts to Unknown Artist, Bex, Compliments and Ian DPM for the playful, high-energy squigglers.

Release Date: 19th May 2023
