His five years at the helm of IDO (Intercontinental Dance Organization) have provided Valentino Mora the outlet to explore his concept of “active meditation”, through the lexicon of deep and organically-textured ambient house and techno.

Now with the inking of sub-label imprint EDO (Exothermal Dance Organization) Mora’s newest output finds direct, molecular inspiration from deep in the aquaverse. Taking its name from the chemical release of heat, EDO’s exothermic first EP delivers four tracks of heady, transformative techno atmospheres. Charting Mora’s evolution from multi-channel acoustic recordings, samples and digital-analog hybridity, Hydrosphere EP continues his production complexity yet arrives at this point via the singular expression of modular synthesis.

“Erosion” opens as a cryptic transmission from submersed entities, with haunting tone tendrils emerging from within the indigo unknown. A subtle echo of reverb softens the edge of its propulsive kick drum, creating an entrancing, enticing and unsettling journey into the deep. The snaking minimalist shimmer of the title track “Hydrosphere” evokes a landscape of frozen tundra, with a backdrop of shifting, urgent techno precision. Bewitching through endless motion and slow deliberation, chimes and pings are stretched out and warped to mind-bending effect.

“Doppler Shift” takes a forthright approach, leading with prominent looped bass tones, percussion and rhythmic sweeps. Rounded shapes move rapidly through the inkinesss, forming repetitions that only intensify in pace and energy. To complete the resynthesis, “Solarized” embodies the life-giving warmth of it’s name, beaming irregular shafts of illumination into dark, bass-heavy, chugging terrain, forming melodic wisps of tonal condensation.

Valentino Mora - Ash Walk

Artist: Barry Helafonte
Title: One Night
Cat.: PULP12
Label: pulp
Format: Vinyl 12’’ 
Release date: September 6th 
Style: Deep House, Funk, Electro

PULP is finishing this year’s summer season with a lengthy affair by a certain Barry Helafonte called 'One Night'. Not much is known about the artist that delivers the 12th instalment for the PULP series. Nevertheless, production wise the sound is mature, and the drum machines sound like they are being hit by someone with vast experience. The balanced production quality of 'Keys to The City' is prominent. A squelchy bassline is dictating the rhythm whilst washes of pads and an outlandish lead come together to form a dripping whole.

'Keys to the City' resumes with friend of the label 'Moon B' on rework duties, turning the spaced out drums of the original into a more dancefloor oriented version. 'First Dance' is another Helafonte original that is based on a touching lead synth and low down pads. 'Connecting' closes down the A side with some more hazy atmospheres and bass hits.

On the B side we find ‘Euphoria’. A breezy jam that contains touches of electro, funk and modern boogie. German producer ‘Glenn Astro’ delivers an advanced version of 'Euphoria' that uses cryptic drum patterns and an acidic bassline to change up the vibe of the original. As a welcome addition 'Astro' throws in an ambient version called 'Super Chill Mix'.

'Pleasure Calling' is the final Barry Helafonte original. A timeless sounding boogie cut that will send the listener into glows of bliss. One Night will be available from all specialized retailers starting September 2019.
