Press Info:
Ben Sims Symbolism Ltd imprint opens its 2020 account with the four-track Nunchi EP from Shelter resident, Juan Sanchez.

Dropping late-March, Nunchi sees the Format Records boss continue to indulge his love of the sort of stripped-down, powerful dance-floor techno which has won him support from the likes of Marcel Dettmann, Luke Slater and Oscar Mulero.

Across Nunchi Sanchez creates grooves engaging enough to carry unhurried, hypnotic arrangements with maximum energy. From the titular openers nifty use of enveloping to unleash (and tame) its main riff to the more layered approach of Manja, Sanchez is firmly in control of tension here. The density of elements is notched up in the tearing Massenzusammensto (translated: massive pile-up) before the altogether sparser LAB04 closes out the EP with subtle, spaced-out melodies and a gloriously erratic bit of classic stab action.

Digital-only cut ‘Signs’ closes out the ‘Nunchi EP’ with some high-tech, jazz-inflected deepness of the finest order.

out now: Arthur Robert – Transition (Part 2) [Figure]

Arthur Robert

Title:
Transition (Part 2)

Label:
Figure

Format:
vinyl, download & streaming

Tracklist:
A1.
Peacekeeper

A2.
Shift
[feat. Naty Seres]

B1.
Volatile

B2.
Trivial

Press Info:
Transition Part 2 continues Arthur Robert’s reduced style, opening with a sleek tunnel-vision thumper, but then deviates for a playful breakbeat space exploration in collaboration with like-minded modular nerd Naty Seres. Eventually closing out the B-side of his strong 8-track package, Robert first boils the energy down to essential deep minimalist trip first, then ramps up the levels one last time for an exquisite example in rumbling dub-techno. Both parts of the Transition EPs firmly establish Arthur Robert further as an expert craftsman, merging the sonic textures of psychedelic jams with the forceful rhythms and intricate melodies of purist techno.

Press Info:
Breaking out on Figure with an exciting debut double EP in 2020, the Arthur Robert now returns with yet another equally impressive pair of records.Here the artist once more shows his unique mix of psychedelic elements with a deep hypnotic edge and a straight-up dancefloor approach. This two-part release comes as a varied collection of strangely beautiful melodies and lively modular sounds that infuse each track with far more life than is visible on the surface. Transition Part 1 starts out strong with stomping kicks and crushing percussion, it’s the glitchy effects that etch in a memorable listening experience. Similar goes for the booming, more spacious A2 and the colorful Drum and Bass-reminiscent B1. Finally, Robert closes part one with a stripped-back stepper, honing in on that sweet spot between radical melodic repetition and finely textured effects.
