Unknown Mobile “Mobile Sorcery”- PE009


Levi Bruce, aka Unknown Mobile, has been a prominent figure of the Canadian Underground for quite some time. He resides in Montreal and has contributed to a number of North American labels. It seems only natural that he is the next release on Planet Euphorique. 

“Mobile Sorcery” could be his most rhythmically diverse 12” yet, recorded in just a couple of weekends it breaks free from 4 to the floor, experimenting confidently with syncopation, voices dipping in and out of focus. The opener Broke Melt presents a driving baseline filled with attitude, flickers of glistening synth arpeggios to soften the clanging drum patterns, working in harmony with delicate top lines. The hypnotic haze of textures carries through the record, A2 lifting in energy; shooting stabs, ricocheted sub base filling the space between commanding snares. The Beat Dub of Sorcery strips the track back to the essentials, resulting in a perfect tool for DJ’s building tension. Surprisingly keeping the essence of the tune whilst offering hints of more dubbed, percussive club pushing UK bass.

The B Side explores more of these unconventional rhythmic themes whilst highlighting the power of melody. Heavenly Depression accurately depicting it’s title, pulling on the struggle of your emotions through an ever-progressing lead woven tightly over sweeping pads. The closing track Wilders Lake ties the record together cohesively, lifted stabs to calm the tripped out percussion swooping in and out, growling bass alluding to darkness. The EP blends genres to create new feelings from familiar foundations, channelling Detroit inspired grit and emotion; well rounded to suit hazed and hedonistic dance-floors.

Unknown Mobile "Mobile Sorcery"

D.Tiffany's Planet Euphorique has become somewhat a gravitational pull for the sonispheres hotbed of talent for the last few years, drumming up a tangible level of anticipation around each release. This time round it's Unknown Mobile, who has come fresh off the back of his well received yet uncharacteristically downtempo and left-field album on Pacific Rhythm. Perhaps unexpectedly, he dives back into darker and more club focused territories with appropriately named 'Mobile Sorcery', a murky, spellbinding five tracker and perhaps his most face-melting release to date. After announcing on Twitter that this would be his last release for a little while due to educational commitments, this is one to hold close.

Introducing the flip is "Heavenly Depression" which flaunts unconventional rhythmic themes whilst highlighting the power of melody. This cut is one which accurately depicts it’s title, pulling on the struggle of your emotions through an ever-progressing lead woven tightly over sweeping pads.
