closing duty of a Mezmere residency with DMX Krew and Mezigue b2b GGGG at Rex club, Paris :)

Elvira closing @ Rex Club ~  4:30 - 7am  19.03.2022

A fresh breeze drifted through the trees, rustling the final remaining leaves that adorned the branches. Summer and autumn would soon exchange hands and the shades of the forest would turn from bright green hues to brown and orange. The animals prepared themselves to burrow away in winter, making their homes ready for the ensuing hibernation that would soon take hold. Their world would sleep until the seasons changed and the sun blazed down again...

A year on from their last release, an EP courtesy of Hems, locally-indebted label E2-E8 turn their attention back to new talent bubbling up in the East London Underground. Shelter is the work of Orphic, a duo made up of producers Kieran Jandu and Babak Faraji, who are exploring the depths of techno. Slick, elegant and crystal clear, the four tracks travel through deep, dubbed-out moments to peak-time offerings and vibrant, bubbling electronics, finished off with a remix from Bunker and Clone affiliate Marco Shuttle.

PREMIERE: Orphic - Macoubea [E2-E8]

Amidst the symphonic tapestry of electronic artistry, we find ourselves at the precipice of a riveting encounter with the maestro of sonic innovation, Paperkraft. Fresh off the heels of his latest EP release, "Not C But K," on the esteemed Homage label, Paperkraft invites us into his world, where melodies intertwine with memories, and beats pulsate with the rhythm of life.

As we embark on this journey of auditory exploration, we are greeted by the mellifluous tones of Paperkraft's compositions, each note a testament to the artist's unwavering dedication and unparalleled vision. But what lies beneath the surface of this musical odyssey? What inspires the maestro to craft such captivating symphonies?

In a candid conversation with Torture the Artist, Paperkraft offers a glimpse into his creative process, from the first light of dawn to the quietude of midnight. With a routine as intricate as his melodies, Paperkraft begins his day with a ritualistic pilgrimage in search of inspiration, each step a prelude to the symphony that is about to unfold.

But it is not merely the routine that defines Paperkraft's artistic endeavors; it is the essence of his latest EP that truly sets hearts aflutter.

With remixes from the likes of Australian darling Aldonna and Aiden Francis, the EP transcends boundaries, weaving a tapestry of sound that is as diverse as it is mesmerizing.

Yet, amidst the cacophony of beats and melodies, Paperkraft remains grounded in his roots, drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of Japanese electronica. From the pulsating rhythms of Kensuke Fukushima to the hypnotic melodies of Fumiya Tanaka, Paperkraft pays homage to the pioneers of a burgeoning movement, a movement that seeks to redefine the landscape of electronic music in Japan and beyond.

As we delve deeper into the labyrinth of Paperkraft's musical journey, we cannot help but marvel at the audacity of vision and the brilliance of execution. From the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to the tranquil shores of Kansai, Paperkraft's music transcends borders and boundaries, uniting souls in a symphony of sound.

And as the curtain falls on this captivating discourse, we are left with a sense of awe and admiration for the maestro who continues to push the boundaries of electronic artistry.
