Info:

Xixa Balance Ep (apa002) Abstract Places Audio Elusive Producer Xixa Delivers The Second Abstract Places Audio Release. Balance Is A Three-track Ep Where The Co-founder Of The Label Packs A Solid Techno Sound Drowned In Complex And Evolving Atmospheres. As First Label’s Release (clip - Gebre, 2016), This Is Not A 100% Club Record, We Can Hear Ambient And Idm Influences, But A1 And B1 Are Perfect Tracks To Keep A Techno Set Full Of Rhythm And Tension, And Will Get Its Place On Any Dj Record Bag. A1 Balance Is Built Around A Distorted But Controlled Techno Beat. Patiently, A Wide Palette Of Drones And Other-worldly Artefacts Are Growing Next To Carefully Crafted Percussive Sounds. 1984 Opens The B Side Of The 12”, With A 4 To The Floor Overdriven Bass Drum And A Reverse Reverb Announcing Its Main Synth Sequence, Accompanied By Organic Hi-hats And Clap Sounds. A Collection Of Ethereal Drones And Noises Is Also Used, Giving The Track A Sense Of Cohesion And Gluing Its Different Parts. Life Inside A Snow Ball Is Xixa S Personal Take On Ambient. Some Of The Drones And Artefacts From A1 Are Now Mixed With New Quasi- Harmonic Emotional Textures And Subtle Noises Emerging From A Deep Unknown Space And Forming A Complete New Sonic Experience. Balance Ep Is A Very Solid Second Release By Abstract Places Audio That Confirms The Label Sound And Philosophy.
