PLTM015 ‘Contemplation’ by Jeroen Search and Arthur Robert 

This year it’s a honour that we welcome two pioneers to our community, First we welcome Jeroen Search, one of techno’s most inspirational pioneers, A true intellect, someone who has been a clear notable figure since the Mid 90’s in his own majestic way. He provides us with ‘Revised Config’ a stripped back head nodder, delicate pulsing tones, high end finesse all with a masterful storyline. 5th Dimension, a mere reference to an alternative reality, a constant evolving pulse runs through this one, sharp grounding percussion with a clear everywhere and nowhere feel. Classic Search! 

Arthur Robert, someone who has set the mark over these last years with masterful releases, a true inspiration presenting the very depth of his soul with sonic language. He presents ‘Heartbreak’, A Heads down soul searcher with fine attention, distinctive melody with a clear context, set with  luring mysterious sweeping percussion. ‘Kinship’ is the second, a clear reflector on the dancefloor, High momentum progressions with crystal clear precision and rooting balance all with the sense of a destination in sight.

Taking over this year’s first dispatch, we’ve got ‘Jauri’ the Bogota based multi-faceted artist, who is also deeply involved in the Columbian underground scene. His debut EP on Observant ‘Semilla’ is laden with percussion-fuelled tribal grooves, chugging chord manoeuvres and possessed funk spread across 5 exquisite originals.

The opener ‘Cararu’ scribbles all over the otherworldly techno circus with it’s intricate jungle sounds laid over a forward propelling bass-line that’s often interrupted by curious stabs. Seemingly cohesive the EP continues with ‘Hunjapu’ — a slightly ethnic excursion juxtaposed with hydraulic rhythms. The title track ‘Semilla’ which translates to seed in English builds with a tip-toeing percussive phrase between each bar that’s accentuated with a gritty kick drum. Pleasantly surprising us with his rendition of sci-fi techno, we’re treated to the precise funk of ‘Tarapaca’ where anxious chords and colourful pad layers create exhaustingly gratifying moments. The last offering ‘Yucuna’ a deprived minimalistic rhythm chugs under rippling delay of synth samples with moments of slow disintegration that often leads to a heads down and eyes shut moment.
