If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!For its inaugural release, Spring Theory has tapped San Francisco producer Avalon Emerson for a three-track EP. Its called Church of SoMawhich, before you get any funny ideas about Huxlean wonder drugs, is actually a reference to San Franciscos industrial South of Market district, which has been an epicenter for dance music since time immemorial. The record pays homage to her long nights spent dancing and DJing in one particularly loved SoMa warehouse.
Sales Information:
For the titular a-side, Emerson goes deeper than she did on Pressure/Quoi!,her debut 12inch on Icee Hot earlier this year. Its a restrained thumper that rides a thick bassline through a maze of echoing bongos, chiming electric piano riffs, and unexpected Brazilian tribal calls. The hook comes from Emerson herself, who delivers a vocal performance that's paradoxically upfront and delicate as it weaves through the rhythm. Swedish house producer HNNY provides the remix, which teases the samples to the surface for an extended and idiosyncratic departure into Brazilian funk music. Flip the record over, and youll get Synagogue of SoMa, the 12inch-length b-side. Here she plays with the elements of the original, stripping things down to make way for heavy bass tones, physically affecting kicks, and floating melodic touches. But dont be mislead, this is peak-time material for adventurous DJs looking to go beyond the ordinary.[txt from ]
