Exclusive: Farren Laen - Reality

It’s been one year since Farren Laen’s first output, Attention Renders Your Reality, on his Laen Disc label. Now the New Yorker is back with the second installment on his label and three new tracks, each sweetly touching the base of one’s feelings by combining and transporting latter in their synth-lines. To Will One Thing, the name of LaenDisc002, was writen and produced over the course of 2020 and into 2021, so basically over a time when most clubs and venues were shut down, maybe therefore Farren asks to play the tracks out loud. But let’s face it, the music on this release perfectly works when not played out loud too. However, a good sound-system with enough power makes the tracks unfold it’s full (club) potential and let you enter a new reality. Speaking of, the A1 is called the same and sucks you into its reality - beat by beat, chord by chord, vocal after vocal, bleep by bleep. Reality is one of these tracks that burns its way into one’s mind with each listening - maybe it’s Farren’s ease of putting the before mentioned elements together or the slow and continuous built-up or the delicate synth-line that makes Reality a tune to remember or stay in your record bag for a long time. But whatever it is, fact is that one can enjoy reality better with Farren’s new EP. 

Farren Laen's EP To Will One Thing will be released on Laen Disc on December 3rd, 2021.

EXCLUSIVE: Farren Laen - Reality [Laen Disc]

art:cast #134 by Farren Laen

NYC-based producer, DJ and label-head Farren Laen delivers the next installment of the art:cast series or a conglomeration of (own) productions paired with pieces that complement and enhance the set's tone and vibe. Hitting the dark dance spot the New Yorker builds up his set like typical old red brick buildings in the city: stone after stone resulting in a memory lane of the future. Just like in his own music Farren Laen comes up with a vibe that is short of becoming possessive luring one into its atmospheric vortex as the space-out sequences almost have a meditative touch, while latter is left behind shortly before dancers/ listeners drift away in their very own thought bubbles and Farren presses the "House kick-drum" to continue his cat-and-mouse game, a game he seemingly not only plays well but has perfected. Otherwise it's hard to explain how someone can come up with such a beauty of sound-waves within only 67 minutes.

More exclusive music

So with this episode being the final episode of the year and the play count on here hitting 250k what a way to go out with a BANG! 
 Im just one one man with a love for music and a a bigger love for people who may not get the shine elsewhere,  that is why i set up the EMOTEC record label but more of that in 2021, back to the matter at hand.   This episode features new material and imo one of the best track i think Strick has produced ever, taken from his new ep on 7 Days Entertainment.  NKOTB Farren Laen and his Laen Discs, lovely deep house vibes and the Nara imprint throwing a real curveball EP out just before the close of 2020. 

 Forthcoming collab from 2 of the hottest producers in the scene right now on an amazing imprint Nebuale and the marriage of MOY & Zodiac Childs, these guys don't play!  On that note, they both appear here solo to add to the weight!  Elsewhere Marine Boy, new ish from the man like Bobo on Eluize's label which is pure fire!  
Label stable of the year imo too Anil's Furthur Electronix and Altered Senses and the man like MOY and Cignol and the mysterious pair SK 222.  Pure unadulterated emotional content.  CPU and Biochip providing the ruffness alongside the specimen camps Sound Synthesis and new signing Serge Geyzel.  
THE FORCE IS STRONG!
