Mattia Prete returns to Jazz-o-Tech with a new EP that emphasises the power of collaboration. His dark, abstract Eruption EP blends electronic and jazz sounds and features musicians from the label roster across five edgy tracks.
Prete has been expanding his musical horizons in recent years. After building a solid foundation in techno, he has begun to work across a wider world of electronic and organic sounds while also working closely with formally trained musicians, plenty of whom feature on this EP. 
 
This world has allowed him to express himself more freely and authentically while adapting and responding to new and contrasting settings. From performing at the Montreux Jazz Festival with Daniel Calvi as 505 to DJing in underground venues like Tresor in Berlin, he continues to make innovative connections between different worlds while continuing to bring diverse artists together on this label.
 
As always with his productions, Prete went wherever the music took him with this EP. It follows no trends, is packed with expressionism and draws on deeply personal emotions while once again highlighting that techno and jazz can communicate together in many different ways. The results are cinematic and fluid, run through with dreamy synths but also built on direct and clubby rhythms with an industrial undertone.

Opener 'Nebula' Ft. Aki Himanen and Aleksi Kinnunen is a widescreen sound with live jazz drums and pained sax lingering in the air above fizzing synths. It's roomy but packed with details and ever-increasing drama. 'Solar Approach' ft Alegros rides on rubbery kick drums and has sweeping chords that reach up to the sky where twinkling melodies awake. There's a halfway switch up when breakbeats change the groove and sombre trumpets sweep across the mix.
'Subway Juice' ft. TUN is much more direct and physical. The sax notes are busy and restless, the drums crash hard and the cymbals splash loudly while acid motifs and busy melodic scales play out in a wild frenzy. 'Cactus' brings a punchy jungle rhythm and icy synths bring unease and edginess to the oversized bass, then Prete collaborates with Daniel Calvi and Leonie on 'Palettes'. It's another bold and in-your-face collision of brass, bass guitar, punishing drums and low-end menace that drives into darkness.
  
Jazz-o-Tech is a label that draws on the rich heritage of two of the most visionary and experimental genes in music: jazz and techno. Taking inspiration from the freeform creative nature of those two musical worlds, artists on the label mix tradition with modernity, improvisation with experimentation, and create a new sound known as techno-jazz. Modern music needs to be ambitious. It must aim to deliver a musical message which is one step beyond what has already been heard. It must take you on a new musical journey into unknown dimensions and emotions. That is the Jazz-o-Tech mission.

Shambhala // Grove Stage 2019

The year is 2070, and the capacity of HOME PLANET is stretched to the
breaking point. Colonization of RED PLANET has been underway for 20 years,
and has become the optimal destination for the few affluent denizens of Earth to escape their increasingly hellish realities as iron-fist rulers of a dying civilization. 

Mars has been transformed
into a beacon of human technological achievement, but access is
restricted to those who can afford "Weekend Escape / Avoid Packages On
New Soil" or WEAPONS. These all-encompassing vacation bundles include ROVER rentals for surface exploration, accomodation in galaxy-class suites in New Mars City's opulent downtown core, and entry to lavish VIP parties on the recreational moon-base known as Phobos-Bazaar.

There, a group of captive performers from Earth's Pacific Rim use ancient Analog Synthesis and HumanVoice TM technologies to create a deep, sensual sound, providing the soundtrack to endless hedonistic nights.

To patrons of the most exclusive nightclub in our solar system, they
are known simply as RED LIGHT QUADRANT.

Captive Profiles:

Neighbour:

Prisoner exhibits a musical obsession stemming from early trauma
involving excess harmonic stimulation. Has managed an earthbound
enterprise called Homebreakin Records since 2007. Research indicates
many original compositions and remixes have been published globally. Primary skills appear to be electric guitar, synthesis, DJ, and recording technology.

Tyler G:

Inmate shows signs of extensive training in the art of aural seduction
through lush vocalisation, harmonic modulation and octave bandwidth exploration. Terrestrial training facilities include the acclaimed groups Tour de Fours and Sabertooth, as well as a long-standing stint as lead siren in the Saturn Space Disco Orchestra. 
Costume collection: extensive.

Elan B:

Prisoner is medically trained as a sonic surgeon, skilled in modern and
outdated methods of textural subterfuge. Victim-patients report confusion, delight and repetetive motion strains caused by raw analog synthesis, drum programming, and hot tape mastering. Was captured from the Saturn Space Disco Orchestra headquarters quite easily - he was too busy shaping transients to notice.
