Soma welcome the debut album from the ever-growing roster of youthful talent as Lewis Fautzi drops The Gare Album, named in homage to The Gare Club, Porto, where Lewis made his discovery of Techno. A bold 4 track single debut gave rise to the album process midway through 2013 and under the careful supervision of Soma, Lewis has provided a definitive peak in his sound cultivated on the back of years of studio work. A collection of deep, dark and twisted techno awaits heralding a coming of age for the Portuguese native.

A droning, industrial vibe is immediate from the outset as Signal crackles into existence giving way to the cavernous UBV-76 with its concrete swathes of noise. High intensity pings form the depths give a sense of what is to come. Intriguing, broken beats deepen proceeding as Lewis takes things to The Other Side of Reality. A momentarily respite before he begins to open things up. Blocker takes the tempo up a notch with a thumping kick and looped out chaotic synths that slowly build the tension. This brooding atmosphere is carried on into the tweeked out and mesmerizing Sick, the punishing, bleeped workout of Range and the relentless, discord of Loudness. By this point Lewis has really worked up into a frenzy. Tight percussive workouts keep this album firing on all cylinders. A short interlude is offered as Opaque drifts quickly through the chaos of this straight to the floor album. Through the darkness, a glimmer of Hope shines through, albeit a cold and fleeting techno version as Lewis leaves you bare and bleeding. Yet more dance floor action as the elasticated synths of Binary (recently remixed by Spanish techno don Oscar Mulero) tear through the backbone of the album. By far Lewis’ most destructive track. The static buzz of Psychiatric is a welcome come down from the headiness of the previous track allowing Lewis to lead us through the black hole, ending on the Other Planet. It’s swirling, vortex like pads sliced open with subtle percussive, other worldly bleeps. A fitting end to this hyperactive techno journey.

A definite maturity in production shines through on this fantastic LP from Fautzi as he creates a cold and calculating output, clearly focused on the future. The Gare Album has allowed Fautzi to express himself fully through electronic music, a task that he has taken to whole-heartedly.

"The Brutalism EP is a representation of what modern society means through my own eyes. 
It portrays a world that treats each other and all living things with more brutality than anyone would ever admit. 
Brutalism has settled human civilisation on a scary, uncertain path, where only Art may remain as one and only meaningful thing we collectively ever accomplished on this planet.

B1. Prithvi
B2. Svarga

Hidden Recordings first release of 2019 sees longtime label boss Deepak Sharma continue to build his portfolio on the imprint with a fourth solo EP, a gritty and tense four-tracker ‘Patala’.

Patala in Hindu cosmology refers to the subterranean realms of the universe, an underworld beneath the earth.  Rising up you reach Prithvi, or the mortal plane that is earth.  Above that is Svarga, or heaven. 

Inspired by these worlds, he delivers three originals with pulsating synth lines, raw rhythmic drums with hypnotic and ethereal soundscapes.

Tadeo is widely respected and revered for his forward thinking imagination and offers a complex, powerful remix blending Detroit and Chicago techno.

Side A begins with ‘Patala’ and frenetic synths influencing the mind through airy hypnotism, exhibiting subtlety in creating a dance-floor groove.  Tadeo’s ambitious remix blossoms from the original adding new musical landscapes and marvelous sounds.

Side B starts with ‘Prithvi’ keeping you on edge between the underlying vocals scattered between a gripping baseline and off-kilter synth movements with timely off-beat drums that culminate into a dramatic show overall.  ‘Svarga’ stretches out with twisting and curving synth lines and intensifies with an ebb and flow of eerie sound and spacious atmosphere.
