LARRY QUEST - AUSTRO
Julien "Larry Quest" Berland is a young music maker, DJ and arts activist. He was born a french,
lived in London for a while and recently settled in sunny Lisboa. He is a trained keyboardist and a
seasoned producer with works released on revered labels such as Delusions of Grandeur or
Pleasure of Love - and of course Percebes Música, having had his debut on the label with "Faíscas",
released in 2022 and still going strong in DJ playlists.
Julien's sound is brimming with references to solid historic soundscapes, particularly the deepest
end of the Chicago House music spectrum. Berland composes and produces music like someone
who's learned lessons from the likes of such legends as Larry Heard, Boo Williams or Derrick
Carter, but also underground heroes like Ricardo Miranda or Chris Gray.
His EP "Austro" presents three tracks, pristinely created and mixed to weave a tightly knit texture
of deep house that combines elements of jazz, gospel, funk and soul under a relentless electronic
backdrop with clear references to rave culture and bleepy acid.
While "Forest Jump" starts things off with a smooth beginning and takes off to dizzying heights,
"Shoredance" bounces organ stabs with sharp snares and a thigh slapping beat and "303 Moonrise"
evocates that classic, old school UR vibe to great effect.
Eager to get into real house music made by a fresh, up and coming producer? Get into Larry
Quest's brilliant "Austro" and enjoy one of deep house's most interesting current creators.

The cheeky yet sophisticated “Manzo Edit” calf returns with a fresh assortment of four lushly revisited cuts. First on the menu is “Digestif”, a laid-back Disco House track ideal for setting the dance floor groovin. “Get It” also falls into the downtempo realm with its smoky acid beat, while “Dancecraft” hits you head-on with a load of robotic funk. Lastly, “Forneria Moderna” pays a festive homage to the Latin side of Jazzy House.

HC004 / Homies - Collective No. 4

For a few years now, Lisbon has been a better place with the presence of french keyboardist, composer, beat maker and DJ Julien “Larry Quest” Berland. When Julien arrived he had just released his debut EP on the revered Delusions of Grandeur label (headed by one of the UK’s greats, Jimpster).

Hot on the heels of this love, Ka§par met Julien and both started a long and fruitful relationship that would place Julien at the top tier of Lisbon-based producers and DJ’s with a string of impressive releases, some of them on PERCEBES MÚSICA: “Faíscas”, “Austro” and now his final
piece as a Lisbon resident “Entrega” - as he prepares to head back to Paris in search of bigger and better conquests.

In this, his final opus for Percebes in 2023, Julien crafts another tryptic of incredible funky technosoul bangers! All three tracks present common features: fast paced tempo, latin-themed rhythms on top of bumpin’ four-to-the-floor stompin’, full and delicious chord stabs and pad progressions and a feeling of timeless soul and jazzfunk music printed into their melodies. These tracks will be incredible picks when played against 313 classics or soulful nuyorican house vibes.

- “Loop Hall” is a tense and dubby techno soul slammer. Luscious pads spiked by stabby organs, aided by a resonant squelchy 303 funk bass and lot’s of smart percussion. Clear, clean cut production and a solid, club heavy mix and master for the win. Very evocative of some of Carl
Craig’s most classic work.

- “Father Fader” has a housier feel: a few smartly picked sampled vocal bits and smart key chops looped into a very raw analog sounding beat, while a heart racing narrative evolves around the stacking of stabs and organs that keep building on an ever increasing galvanizing tension. Peak time, fast paced deep winner.

- “Worshipping Express” brings faith and spirituality into the fold, by respectfully borrowing a classic gospel, organ driven house template and pressing it against Quest’s usual corrosive bubble-rubber 303 lines. The surprise comes when the honky tonk piano dresses the whole affair
in a southern fried funk! It’s a clear Los Hermanos/Gerald Mitchell tribute delivered with great transparency and we know it’s going to be a special option for the discerning dance floor minded DJ giants of this world. Reel rite!!

Release Info:
We are super pleased to welcome back our Los Angeles friend Idan Hana! After his successful last release on our label featuring that great Ron Trent remix he presents an all new set of deep and eclectic tracks to us.

The opener “Mountain Peaks” is inspired by the vibrant energy of Italo disco. Capturing a joyful and uplifting mood with unique and unconventional micro synth sounds and class percussion Idan builds towards an infectious chord break down.
“Hidden Forest” is built around a drum sample and goes way deeper, shaped by the filtered drums and the Arpeggios it’s evoking the sensation of walking through a jungle and observing children playing joyfully. The goal was to create an immersive experience, capturing the essence of being in a forest.

“Rolling Hills” is best described in his own words: “When composing this track, I envisioned a spaceship visiting Earth. It all began with a catchy pattern I created on the OB-6 synthesizer. From there, I layered additional synth sounds and bass to give a full presence to my beloved OB-6. The result is a captivating blend of futuristic elements, combining intricate melodies with an otherworldly atmosphere.” You truly capture this feeling in the sound! Additional editing and mixing was done by Break 3000.

Now we get to “Panorama” that is Idan’s fave track of this EP. It combines elements of electro, soulful chords, and an overall sense of fun. The track maintains an ever-changing nature, keeping the listener engaged and curious throughout. For this composition, he predominantly used the MC-202, along with a few Korg plugins and his secret drum kit. A lovely electronic journey we think! And it is not only his favorite!

The cinematic “Ma Kore” is closing out this wonderful musical offering by Idan. It encapsulates a unique and mesmerizing melody, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in a world of pure musical expression.

Enjoy this new piece of music by Idan Hana! A lot of work and love went into it. We think it’s very special!

Radio Raibano with Alessio Collina

“Father Fader” gets remixed by top french producer Alan.D for a classic tech house remix of the original's bluesy gospel detroit inspired classic. We use the term "tech house" carefully, as nowadays it translates a bland funkless universe of same sounding generic tracks that chart Beatport with anonimity and absense of creativity... We are using the term as it was used in the 90's, as the remix sounds like something out on Paper Recordings or Pagan. It sounds like classic Soma tracks and remixes by Maas or I:Cube. An elegant version, perfect for massive floors!!

The original has a Housier feel: a few smartly picked sampled vocal bits and smart key chops looped into a very raw analog sounding beat, while a heart racing narrative evolves around the stacking of stabs and organs that keep building on an ever increasing galvanizing tension. Peak time, fast paced deep winner.
