With full-length releases | | making waves on Ninja Tune and Apollo Rec, the sister label of R&S | | Recordings, the Berlin-based musician assembles a perfect pastiche of | | influences on his forthcoming EP Naturals, coming out on Copenhagen's | | Tartelet Records this September. | | | | Exploring the outer fringes of the Balearic sonic spectrum, Naturals | | delves into unexpected sound territories without losing touch with | | planet home. Sub-heavy drums mix with private oceanic field | | recordings, futuristic synth, and effect pedal workouts, delivering a | | four-track EP that is novel but honest to the bone. | | | | "I tried not to take any direct influence from any particular music I | | was listening to," Glenn Astro says. "Instead, I tried concentrating | | on where the instruments and effects were taking me, experimenting | | with different ways of using the gear that I know so well." | | | | Inspired by Sicily's natural beauty, the juxtaposition of its rough | | landscapes and clear blue waters, Naturals takes listeners on a | | journey into unfamiliar sound; a conscious diversion from his usual | | style and yet an instant dance floor cracker infused with the | | artist's signature panache. | | | | "I made most of the record while being in Sicily," he says. "In | | retrospect, it is easy to hear that the volcanic landscapes | | contrasting the idyllic beaches were a major influence." | | | | The EP opener "Naturals (Unsweetened Mix)" is a beautiful freak - a | | peak-time cut - starting out with tranquil ambient melodies and water | | drop percussion followed by a beasty acid line and slick drum | | programming. Next, "Naturals (Dance Mix)" slows it down to 116 BPM, | | taking a completely different route with a hypnotic dance between | | tribal and dub - a wonderfully weird closer. | | | | On the flip side, "Slarutan (Pristine Mix)" emerges au natural with | | Sicilian field recordings, layered pads, playful melodies, and crisp | | drum programming. Saving the best for last, "Slarutan (Water Mix)" | | dips its toes into the early days of dance music, shifting into | | futuristic, ambient dub territory with divine melodies and filtered | | percussion. | | | | "This one is for the plants and the trees. Return to planet | | Tartelet," Glenn Astro says. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2019-=----------------------/__\--'
