Crowd Control EP Teaser

Hessle Audio are excited to announce the release of the self-titled debut album by Pearson Sound, aka label co-head David Kennedy. Characteristically minimalist in approach, its nine tracks use a handful of elements to craft mesmerising, self-contained worlds, alive with motion and near-subliminal detail: from vast and inky landscapes, to electrifying rhythm tracks, where layers of percussion and bass tumble over one another like rocks in a landslide. Recorded between 2013-4, Pearson Sound documents a distinct phase of Kennedy's studio explorations. "I had a signal chain set up that I was really happy with, and I started sending my machines through the same processes" he says. Expanding upon the techniques underpinning his recent REM and Starburst 12"s, its tracks emerged swiftly through improvised jam sessions; some were captured in a minimum of takes, while others later took shape through extensive sculpting and post-processing. "A lot of it was made by feeding the the same sounds between two different pieces of equipment and they'd end up feeding back between each other and snowballing. On some tracks it's about harnessing that and taking it to the brink before it disintegrates, and some of them are about just letting it go full-blown out of control." The result is a record of striking contrasts: bold, stark and visceral, yet also subtle, harmonically complex and deceptively playful. While Pearson Sound's livewire percussive energy remains inextricably rooted in the club, this exploratory studio process has created Kennedy's most wide-ranging yet coherent body of work to date: a suite of thrillingly impulsive, expressive and open-ended music, untethered from restrictions of form.

"Will Saul’s AUS Music has seen a number of new additions to the roster this year as the label continues to prosper. Now - adding to names such as Timothy Blake, Geeman and Escape, AUS welcome in another auspicious producer by the name of Fold. Having released records on Man Make Music and Electric Minds - Fold lines up his ‘Netflix & Chill’ EP: a potent stack of Hip-Hop indebted House tracks backed up by the extolled and shady Kassem Mosse on remix duties.

‘Calmer Mood’ kicks things off, hopping between bpms and driving grubby and groovy samples over a rough kick. Filters control builds peaks and troughs guaranteed to set things off before ‘Wallop’ rattles off with powerful 909 drums and truncated samples in a manner that will please fans of his ‘Mr Wood’ no end.

‘Dreamscape’ then melds deftly chopped breaks with Jazz melodies to set a rich, blue tone that’s propelled into overdrive by splashing drum solos stitched together with flare. Workshop owner Kassem Mosse then offers up his interpretation of ‘Dreamscapes’ and in doing so introduces a subtle degree of melancholy to the original that links rich, spectral pads with tumbling breaks and delayed Sax stabs that round off another fine addition to AUS’ catalogue."

Sydneysider, Freda, has three tracks waiting for release on Moonshoe – a label native to his hometown – which will be his second and only the fourth overall release on the imprint. Run by a musical collaborator of Freda’s, Jackson, the label has so far put out music from some impressive Australian artists, like Jackson himself and Horation Luna, the latter of which is a founding member of renowned Melbourne collective, 30/70.

Freda’s forthcoming EP, "Mad Dancer", features a couple of dusty house and disco tracks on the A-side. The B-side, however is a more experimental, breakbeat track, intricately packed to the sonic-brim with drum and chopped vocal samples. Our premiere  Breakfast on the flip is the curveball of the 3 tracks. A darker mood is established before a syncopated break drives the EP home, exemplified by a sliding dissonant synth melody. 

Expect good things from the young but impressive Moonshoe label in general, but first and foremost, look out for this high quality Freda record, released digitally and on some limited 12-inchers on April 20. Pre-order here.
