An electro deep diver that’s changed with me over the years through joy, grief, insight, and balance. 

It’s a ship to slip away with, and make it a dark and stormy ship at that.

The noise in the industrial estate echoed loudly in the morning, the grey sky which hung above the compound was eerie and cast a menacing tone upon the day. The Aras factory had long since closed its doors but that didn't stop the building from rattling and creaking beneath the strain of the wind like before. Walking through the concrete sprawl he wondered if there might ever be new life in this place or whether it was doomed to the tragic end as a ghost town. 

Piska Power is the musical alias of Stefan Junge, a German producer operating out of Berlin under the cover of darkness. By day a medical student, at night a musical mogul. He delivers the fifth release on the Power Station label run by Kris Baha.

Sharif Laffrey can charm the snake out of any basket. This is his first offering for the ESP Institute. Side A’s 'Tangier' is a long drawn-out exercise, an endurance test of the highest order. Over the span of some thirteen minutes, elements bob and weave intermittently and layers overlap haphazardly—the type of exciting dynamic that's born out of restriction—as if putting down a live jam without enough hands to work the console, yet Sharif perseveres. As touch and go as this arrangement may be, there is something that undoubtedly glues it all in place; the combination of his massive rolling 16th-note baseline and his tough-as-nails drumkit is so good that, upon first listen, we spat out our tea and insisted on its release. On side B, 'Everything Is Nice' carries on with loose arrangement, dirty production and layers of inexplicable spoken-word samples (a Sharif calling card by now) but this time we're lead to a melancholy place, the blue comedown to Side A's antagonistic trial. With his ESP Institute debut, Sharif leaves you mentally unhinged, as if you’ve smoked something interesting and arrived bewildered in some Saharan labyrinth. These two songs will guide you through the medina to score the black meat.

[ESP079] Tangier b/w Everything Is Nice

A1 - Tangier

The huge iron door at the end of the corridor stood ajar. Until today it had been bolted shut with a heavy padlock, unwilling to let outsider eyes in. It must be open for good reason, surely this was an invitation to enter. The corridor was lit by flickering candles that cast eerie shadows across the cobbles, the shapes jostling and moving as if they had a life of their own. As they reached the door they peered around it cautiously. As far as the eye could see tall wooden shelves grew up the walls, each with a metal box meticulously slotted in. Moving closer, they realised each box was embossed with a name; some defiled and some in pristine condition. Their eyes searched the rows quickly before halting a few feet above. There they were, their name slashed through with a thick red line.

Montreal-based duo MSL is the project of Edouard Le & Francis Latreille AKA Priori and half of Jump Source, alongside Project Pablo. For this EP on French blog and label Les Yeux Orange they dive deep into the melodic depths of electro. The whole EP is a certified winner.
