It was the small, subtle details which made all the difference. Those little flairs and flurries at the end of each serif soaked letter which oozed with class and style. Reading from the old parchment he assessed the stories, wondered what they meant and drifted off to a time long ago when the world was free.

He dreamed of sun kissed valleys, green fields and wild animals which roamed and wandered without care. He dreamed of the clouds as they passed slowly above creating a lifestyle of delicate shadows and glimmering rivers down below. He watched as the sun hit the face of each mountain in the warmth of the morning glow.

Then he returned to the paper, began to read on, as he watched the story unfold…

Blank Patrick is set to release a stunner of a two track EP on SLG International – a euphoric flurry of scattered synths, wandering percussion and goosebump moments. This one comes highly recommended.

Bluebell / Serif Soaked

PREMIERE: Blank Patrick - Serif Soaked [SLG International]

Pre-order: https://slg-intl.bandcamp.com/album/slgintl001-bluebell-serif-soaked

The first release on @slg_intl comes in the form of a two-tracker from @blankpatrick (fka TryTry), 'Bluebell / Serif Soaked'.

Ghostly, hollowed-out samples reminiscent of mid-'10s mainstays like Gold Panda or Jacques Greene come forward on the record opener, 'Bluebell'. The producer peppers the arrangement with some irresistibly chipmunked vocal chops and synths panned on ultra-wide.

Grid kicks off 2025 with a new 5-track EP from London producer Blank Patrick! The release binds together different aesthetics, with hiphop-derived sounds and vocals as the binder.

Beginning with the darkness and tension of “Cement Bonds to Marble”, the journey gradually lightens with the heavy, deafening subs of “Canine Growing Backwards”. The BPM then picks up on the supercharged, colorful “Gun Dog”, cleverly combining softness with a muscular, sweaty ambience. The unpredictable 4th track “Esperanto”, where house synths and grooves are mixed with infinite breaks and assertive claps, is sure to get dancefloor fans hooked, whether at night or in the early hours of the morning. Finally, the light will definitely get the better of the darkness with the potential hit “UU EE”, which closes the EP with more lightness and second degrees.
