Dario Tronchin) now makes his LP debut for Stroboscopic Artefacts. His other S.A. contributions (including the inaugural entry in the label's singular Monad series, the \"One Month Off\" EP, his participation to the label's five-year retrospective series) have already hinted that a more complete exposition of his unique inner world would surface, and here it is at last. \n Over the course of his young career, Chevel has gained a mastery over several compositional elements: Polaroid-like slow melodic fades, sharp ricocheting beats, and simply making one's headphones feel like a viable means of physical transportation. All of these elements come into play shortly after the needle hits the grooves of 'Comb' a euphoric introductory track marked by a spectral panning sequence and by beats chopped with a culinary expert's sense of elegance. The drum kit sounds that feature throughout are used sparely but – either because of this or in spite of this – provide maximum impact upon the listener's nervous system. The almost 'far Eastern' use of 'block' percussion on 'The Windrunner' and 'Low Roof' perfectly complements the synthetic sheen produced...  more\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stroboscopic Artefacts","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50394852753739,"sku":"2056355","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50394854392139,"sku":"2056364","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_e37f73fd_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726449133"},{"product_id":"blurse-remixed-2","title":"Blurse Remixed","description":"\u003cp\u003eChevel's past releases for Stroboscopic Artefacts have exhibited an emotional and tonal range that goes well beyond the predetermined expectations placed upon modern techno producers. His special skill – for creating an engaging and diverse rhythmic music that doesn't sound like eclecticism \"for its own sake\" – is one that puts him in an advanced class of sound-heads conducting similar experiments in differentiation and evolution. So it's a natural move for Chevel to acknowledge the rest of the class by inviting them for a new EP of remixes from his most recent Stroboscopic Artefacts LP. Like that parent album, the four remixes on this new release can't be easily tagged with catch-all genre descriptions: a high compliment in an age where this quest for differentiation can be a real challenge even for the genuinely talented. \n Paula Temple's opening gambit blasts into the listener's headspace with a high level of intensity and urgency, laying down a primer coat of prowling bass and radioactive zaps that contrast unexpectedly well with the placid synth swells from Chevel's original mix. The hybrid creature she creates is an anxious and disobedient one, but one that will still entice listeners back for more.
