Roche Madame, a natural harbour for a crop of artists for whom sounds, histories and futures dance together. A vinyl only imprint, whose ascetic designs reflect the inspiringly sparse landscape of its spiritual home. Fronted by Cesar Merveille, the imprint readies its third outing since its 2016 inception.

RM003, a collaborative effort between Sam O’Somen of Masomenos and label boss Cesar Merveille under his C.S.R alias, was born out of a modular jam direct from Merveille’s Berlin-based studio, resulting in two expansive tracks notably performed via masterful machine improvisation. 

The record’s A side ‘Le Myth Errand’ takes a direct approach with heavy hitting drums and a tumbling fluidity that works perfectly in any club context. Hypnotic pads run side by side with intricate sequencing patterns, eventually making way for a characteristically 80’s synth-line, rich in analog saturations, alongside mangled crowd-chants and spoken French samples that warp in and out of focus. 

‘Amare Basse’ takes the flip; a track progressive in nature with delicate textures ever-evolving around serene chord stabs and a rhythmically propulsive bassline. Skipping hats enter the fray alongside clinically placed drum-hits, further establishing the song’s rolling groove.
