New music today from Agile Experiments, true believers of the freedom principle, who live up to their reputation for having the heaviest abstract grooves on "if you believe”. 

Taken from forthcoming album, ‘These Are Time For Mind And Spirit’, which sees the ever-evolving Agile Experiments return with their sharpest record to date, "if you believe" patiently unravels over a uniquely voiced drum groove building toward ecstatic echo walls of layered saxophone bliss. 

The de facto leader of Agile Experiments, and sole constant, is drummer, bassist and producer, Dave De Rose. Whilst incredibly busy recording and self-releasing albums, he also finds time to record and tour with Gnawa fusionists, Electric Jalaba, and has performed alongside the likes of Mulatu Astatke and Róisín Murphy.

According to Dave De Rose, "this title (if you believe) is stolen from a Meshell Ndegeocello lyric "if you believe that your god is better than another man, how will we end all your suffering?"... I'm often thinking about belief, whether in religious or non religious contexts. I made up my own belief over the years. It's not static belief, it's flexible and evolves with me and my understanding of life as I carry on gaining information. It borrows from old faith systems and mixes them with scientific research not belonging to either. Always open. This track is mysterious, it builds in a subtle, constant manner, small details keep bubbling in showing you a bigger picture before it dissipates. You can pay attention or you can just let it sweep over you, just like life and belief in things we don't understand".

De Rose is joined by Jon Scott (of Go Go Penguin) on drums and George Crowley (of Melt Yourself Down) on saxophone and machines. Together they pursue the perfect meeting point between free improvisation, irresistible groove and enveloping sound. 

‘These Are Time For Mind And Spirit’ is Agile Experiments' 11th release in four years. This fertile communal project continues to proliferate without repeating itself due to its creative methodology, receiving support across BBC Radio 6 Music, The Wire, Jazzwise, Worldwide FM and NTS. 

Agile Experiments is a method of creation rather than a band; The setting of a frame of mind that encourages the musicians to unleash their utmost creativity placing no limit on their imagination. This absolute freedom increases the will of the musicians to give their most selfless self, guiding the musical direction of the recordings collectively through original pathways that are beneficial to artist and listener alike.

Memories of lockdown garage band, I don’t make them anymore

Deejaying since very long time & now producing.

Passion for music since childhood, many & diverse sounds have influenced him such as soul, disco, italo, synth pop, new wave, ebm, new beat, acid house, trance, detroit techno, cologne sound, idm, … and above all Sade & Depeche Mode, his reference bands.

The spirit & soul of those sounds somehow are present when he plays or produces music, resulting on a unique amalgam of apparently contradicted feelings & emotions, as darkness & sentiment, longing & happiness, electronics & warmness, subtlety & forcefulness, sophistication & effectiveness.

Since his dj debut in 1992, he has combined dj residences at Concor, Forum and Concuerda, with gigs at some of most relevant clubs in Barcelona area, as Lasal, Macarena or Otto Zutz, and has shared dj booth with many of most reputed djs and producers.

In 2020 Gonzalo Pérez debuts as music producer. Since then, he has been putting out music under two distinct aliases, Gonzalo and Smooth Revelator, his electronic pop project. Now in 2025, here is Gonzalo's third release, Flying into Ecstasy.

Abstract sample sculptures, minimal/maximal, weird beats, broken ambient.
