Info:

Mysterious Berlin Based Label Mask Preps Its Debut Release Titled ‘lemmy’ With Four Untitled Cuts This April. A New Series Born Out Of An Established German Imprint, Mask’s Enigmatic Debut Release Was Produced Using A Selection Of Analogue Gear Including A Moog Slim Phatty, E-mu Sp-1200 And Nord Rack 2x. The A Side Begins With A Track Built Around A Tightly Programmed Drum Loop Which Subtly Builds, Laced With Mix-slicing Hats And Sub-low Kicks Whilst Stretched Out Chords Dissipate Around A Crunchy Synth Lead. The Second Production Is Twisted And Dusty, Using Flanging And Reverberated Effects To Lead Towards A Distorted Breakdown, Driven From The Depths By Gusts Of Full Bodied Snares And A Growling Sub Line. On The Flip, Dulcet Tones Of A Female Vocalist Join Lush Melodic Chords To Cleanse The Palette, Whilst Working Within The Confines Of A Subdued Yet Crisp Drum Machine Groove. The Final Track Then Strips Things Back Even Further, Employing Minimalist Percussive Hits And A Warm Bass Lead, Leaving Space For Its Soothing Female Vocals To Do The Talking
