On the next All Centre release we welcome Montreal-based artist laced to the fold. The Causal Chain boss delivers a four track EP including a remix from fellow Canadian SIM.

The dreamy, dubbed-out pads and intricate minimal percussion of Bubble Beam ease us into the record. Stuttering kicks and deep subs kick things into gear, as the echoing chords fold in and out of themselves. Later, new harmonies and rhythmic switch-ups give further depth to the track, before closing with a glitched outro.

Next up, Caustic Reverie opens with hypnotic stabs and careful sound design, anchored by cavernous bass hits. The track breaks down before heavy broken techno rhythms emerge, 
with dubby chords and vocal chops dancing between them.

Future Sight brings the energy back down with a blissful ambient intro. Here, laced takes cues from ambient jungle, as precisely cut breakbeats weave amongst punchy sub bass hits and infectious melodies. Gradually the energy rises, allowing compelling kick drums to drive the track forwards.

Retaining the meditative pads of the original, SIM turns in a low-tempo rework of Future Sight. Rolling kick drums provide the basis for echoing chords and tripped-out sound design. The melodic elements are then stripped back, giving way to a dub inspired percussive section, before returning to the atmospheric tones of the introduction.

Caustic Reverie is out across all platforms on the 8th April.

Premiere: laced - Future Sight [All Centre]

The ever-reliable London label welcome Montreal artist, laced, who delivers a dreamy cut of sugar-coated rainbow electronics, including a remix from fellow Canadian SIM.

As she closed her eyes she watched colours bleed into one another. They were so vivid she could feel them pour over her face and down her neck. She pictured how it would look. As a deep scarlet filled her ear and a rich blue licked her neck, she too found herself melting into colour.

Caustic Reverie is a 4-track EP which combines the warmth of highly-processed synthesised sounds with harshness of percussive instrumentation in a sunshine-doused exploration of depth and texture. Crisp blips, swishes and tiny twangs tempt the touch, creating a soundscape at once futuristic and psychedelic: not a far cry from the music of foodman or Smerz.
 
On the title track, vibrant synth plucks reverberate around a cavernous space, warming the atmosphere before mutating into a broken techno rhythm. Bolstered by low-end hits and peppered with Jessy Lanza-esque vocal chops, this one’s a real treat for the ears.

Shigeto - Detroit Part 1

"Shuffling on the temple steps. The earth and stone pounded by the faithful. A crowd gathers in the courtyard. ZAP on deck, the drum breaks resonating against the bamboo. New horizons, new sounds, & new experiences. Letting go of desires. Letting go of ego, and getting lost in the syncopated rhythms. A constant sonic current rushing through the crowd. Formless, shapeless, like water. "
