soulful house ep

new york residing dj/producers john barera & will martin update their longstanding body of collaborative work with their first 2mr release since last years exceptional proceed to the root sophomore album

after a clutch of killers for labels like dolly, supply & argot, john barera & will martin team up once again to smash out four powerful dancefloor heaters for nyc s esteemed basement floor.

col. wrongface and the just jack crew are back with 4 cuts of no nonsense dancefloor bizniz from boston s rising star john barera. john s album graceless caused quite a stir when it dropped on steffis dolly imprint last year, and here you can see why. 4 tracks of rough and tough analogue sounds complemented with lush melodies and harmonics. mastered to tape for extra juice. just jack will eat your head.

after four top-class releases, envlp sets its 2016 return with john barera, the brooklyn artist that steadly drove its sounds through space and stars with blissful sonorities and elegant productions. after many records on labels as metters labels, john delivers a four track ep that brings a personal interpretation of the detroit sound elevated by john’s unique skills and strong personality.

largely sequencer-based composition practices opened up barera s usual hand-playing approach and allowed him to create rich and melodic, yet precise and powerful techno. -the opportunist- conjures images of arriving in darkness, taking what you can, and leaving quickly to avoid detection. -discipline- is barera s full-on workout, with all the rushes associated, itself very much a product of discipline. -a new future- suggests an optimistic if uncertain outlook, a world where anything is possible, while -last glacial maximum,- which refers to a period in the earth s history when ice sheets were at their most recent maximum extension, represents a somewhat bleaker view. the musically kindred spirits behind massachusetts-based mentha records are ideal partners in this project, warmly embracing barera s wide-eyed techno concepts.
