Press Info (English):
Yesterday – Wednesday 14th January – saw Arca give an exclusive live performance to soundtrack Hood By Air’s show as special guests at the Pitti Uomo 87 fashion event in Florence, Italy. At the event, Arca performed a bespoke musical score titled ‘Sheep’ which featured eleven tracks of original Arca music. ‘Sheep’ is now available as a free download.

The performance and download follow the recent success of Arca’s debut album Xen, which was released in November 2014 on Mute to widespread acclaim. Described by The Observer as “one of those albums that elegantly restates the appeal of digital music, expressing hues and states of being that fall outside the analogue spectrum” and Uncut as “a stunning showcase of his emotional, slippery, psychologically fraught production style” Xen was one of 2014’s defining debut records.

Press Info (German):

February 2015

Format:
vinyl & digital

Tracklist:
A1)
Ritual I

Ritual II

B1)
Ritual III

B2)
Ritual IV

Press Info:
Tensal is the first guest artist of the Ownlife imprint and opens the year 2015 with a piece of authentic techno in all its forms. Four initiatic cuts that re-define the sonorous shades of this label.

“Ritual I” is a return to the rough sound of the late 90s, no concessions, pure effectivity for the beginning of the record. The A side is completed with the more hypnotic part of the EP. A deep track, dry and minimalist with the elements needed to create the mystical atmosphere which floods this reference.

“Ritual III” is absolute Energy. A constant and atmospheric progression is perfect to create an impact on the dancefloor, maintaining tension to the end.

The last track opens the door of the emotional side of the artist and represents a contribution of light to Ownlife. A cut of dusty textures and delay tones. A landscape of stabs with a flawless structure for smoky clubs with low light.
