Last appearing on the label back in 2014, Scales + Measures marks the producer's first selfreleased solo EP - a return after 5 years, during which he has developed his sound through releases on Livity Sound, Ancient Monarchy, Idle Hands, Tempa and beyond. Scales + Measures is Facta's most colourful release to date, trading out the dark minimalism of his early releases for poppy chords and warping, plasticky synths. Rhythmically the record makes nods to 140 bpm electro ('Rose Red'), UK funky ('Scales + Measures)' and dubby break-beat house ('4C Loop'), but the melodies and textures come from elsewhere: drill, rave, r'n'b and modern pop music.[info sheet from distr.]
