In Drum Play's ten tracks cut deep into stripped-back techno structures, yet remain infused with the ravey intensity and rogue experimentalism that has placed his work among both the strangest and most banging dance music to emerge from the UK in the last decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince his debut 12\" in 2007, Pangaea's music has existed in a continual state of metamorphosis. From the ghostly flex of his early singles into the rhythmic vortices of his self-released Hadal EPs, and now the mesmerising dance of In Drum Play, it's evolved into a freewheeling strain of ruffneck techno - one ear jacked into sound system culture, the other in the stomping nocturnal psychedelia of UK pioneers such as Surgeon. His DJ sets have developed in parallel, becoming fast-paced acrobatic voyages at the interface of loopy techno and more exploratory UK styles, an aesthetic captured on his 2014 mix for the Fabriclive CD series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs its title suggests, In Drum Play is a product of that feedback loop between the studio and the club. The devilishly funky intensity of tracks like 'Rotor Soap', 'More Is More To Burn' and 'DNS' emerged from a desire to write music that mirrored the late night dancefloor environments that McAuley has been DJing within. Crafted around sharpened motifs that burrow simultaneously into mind and body, they rank among his headiest and most forceful music to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet these tracks remain alive with the subtle diversions and shifts in mood that have always made his music so distinctive. The snakelocked metal drums and glowing melodies of 'Skips Desk', 'Bulb In Zinc' and 'One By One' are pure volatile energy, their bubbling percussive momentum building on killer earlier Pangaea cuts like 'Hex' and 'Viaduct'. Elsewhere, the record drifts off into increasingly dream-like zones; 'Lofty Can' and the pirouetting flute melodies of highlight 'Send It In' slow the tempo to a simmering steppers' groove, creating beautifully tangled musical puzzle boxes that, as with the blissed-out ambience of 'Scaled Wing', equally recall the roaming sensibilities of Amber-era Autechre and contemporaries like Lee Gamble. Just as intrinsic to Pangaea's aesthetic as his body-shock dancefloor tracks, these form the vital connective tissue of a record that's focused and immediate, yet just as compositionally subtle as ever: a fitting debut album from a producer and DJ who has now been releasing unpredictable and exploratory dance music for almost a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hessle Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36275731529884,"sku":"HESLP003","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/Pangaea-InDrumPlay.jpg?v=1601463804"},{"product_id":"alien-mode-pearson-sound","title":"Pearson Sound - Alien Mode EP (1 per person)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCATALOGUE NO.

Characteristically minimalist in approach, its nine tracks use a handful of elements to craft mesmerising, self-contained worlds, alive with motion and near-subliminal detail: from vast and inky landscapes, to electrifying rhythm tracks, where layers of percussion and bass tumble over one another like rocks in a landslide. Recorded between 2013-4, Pearson Sound documents a distinct phase of Kennedy's studio explorations. \"I had a signal chain set up that I was really happy with, and I started sending my machines through the same processes\" he says. Expanding upon the techniques underpinning his recent REM and Starburst 12\"s, its tracks emerged swiftly through improvised jam sessions; some were captured in a minimum of takes, while others later took shape through extensive sculpting and post-processing. \"A lot of it was made by feeding the the same sounds between two different pieces of equipment and they'd end up feeding back between each other and snowballing. On some tracks it's about harnessing that and taking it to the brink before it disintegrates, and some of them are about just letting it go full-blown out of control.\" The result is a record of striking contrasts: bold, stark and visceral, yet also subtle, harmonically complex and deceptively playful. While Pearson Sound's livewire percussive energy remains inextricably rooted in the club, this exploratory studio process has created Kennedy's most wide-ranging yet coherent body of work to date: a suite of thrillingly impulsive, expressive and open-ended music, untethered from restrictions of form.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSelect tour dates:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e06\/03 Fabric, London\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e13\/03 Bloc Festival\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e21\/03 Berghain, Berlin\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e28\/03 Concrete, Paris\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e16\/04 Elita Festival, Milan\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e23\/04 Output, New York (All night)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e01\/05 Lux, Lisbon\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hessle Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39886309589148,"sku":"HESCD002","price":7.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/PearsonSound.jpg?v=1620797357"},{"product_id":"anz-loos-in-twos-nrg","title":"Anz - Loos In Twos (NRG) (ONE PER CUSTOMER)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl \u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: HES038\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 5050580743854\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 25th May 2021 (back in)\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electro, UK Garage, Jungle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01.

It's a statement of intent for the entire record, reflecting the increasingly idiosyncratic nature of his music. Release's eight tracks are entities unto themselves, each a natural evolutionary continuation of the rough and rolling pirate radio techno he began to culture on last year's Hex and Inna Daze 12\"s.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSince his early releases, Pangaea's music has expanded to reflect the growing diversity of dancefloors, reaching outward to integrate jungle, hardcore, techno and house into its rhythmic axis. The result is an incendiary hybrid form rooted in UK hardcore traditions, where ruffneck MC chatter, static-addled voices and sinewy melodies slip in and out of earshot like ghosts channelled from raves past.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese base materials are put to a variety of different uses across Release's length. Foremost among them is a swung and sub-heavy vision of UK techno, informed by a love of pirate radio and soundsystem music. So instead of remaining locked to a four-to-the-floor pulse, rhythms are splayed outwards into vortices - swirling assemblages of kicks, woodblocks and shrapnel that weave in and around one another. 'Majestic 12' explodes from the blocks at blistering speed, repeatedly switching in intensity across its length. Hi-hats keep time above roiling kickdrums on 'Trouble' and the aptly titled 'Time Bomb', which detonates with a billowing thud at the start of each bar.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther tracks touch on ideas familiar from Pangaea's earlier music, but twist them almost beyond recognition. Both 'Game' and the 'Release' are raw steppers' tracks, but ruder and more abrasive than anything he's released to date, while 'Middleman' offsets a halfstep shuffle with warm brassy melodies. Release saves its largest curveball for last, though, with the seething ambient of 'High', whose murky surfaces are pockmarked by bitcrushed screams.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs co-head of Hessle Audio alongside Pearson Sound and Ben UFO, Pangaea's exploratory approach on Release also reflects the attitude that's characterised both his and his label's approach so far. As dubstep has fallen away, they have refused to simply follow many contemporaries into straightforward house and techno territory. Instead they take their influences as jumping-off points from which to explore, a method that's led them along new and distinctive pathways in ever-noisier surroundings. Release is no exception - the building blocks used in its construction may be recognisable, but they work in a way you might not have heard before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hessle Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42600449376412,"sku":"HES023CD","price":7.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_45710a83-de55-414b-8739-4e5ad85aa12f.jpg?v=1691187635"},{"product_id":"pangaea-in-drum-play-cd","title":"Pangaea - In Drum Play [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: CD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: HESCD003\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5050580654310\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 14 Oct 2016\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Techno\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: Mutual Exchange - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e02: Rotor Soap - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e03: Bulb in Zinc - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e04: More Is More to Burn - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e05: Scaled Wing - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e06: One by One - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e07: Lofty Can - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e08: Send It In - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e09: Skips Desk - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e10: DNS - Pangaea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2xLP version comes with free download card.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBBC Radio support from Benji B, Huw Stephens, B Traits, Mary Anne Hobbs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInitial DJ support from: Ben UFO, Pearson Sound, Joy Orbison, Blawan, Pariah, Objekt, Call Super, Midland, Kowton, Peverelist, Tessela, Martyn, Luke Slater, Hodge, Anthony Parasole, Mosca, A Made Up Sound, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt time of writing reviews confirmed with: DJ Mag (9\/10), Mixmag (9\/10) Crack (8\/10), Future Music (8\/10), Resident Advisor, FACT, XLR8R, The Wire, Electronic Sound, Electronic Beats...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\/premiers - Boiler Room, Mixmag, Red Bull, The Quietus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHessle Audio present the debut full-length album from label co-founder Kevin McAuley, aka Pangaea. In Drum Play's ten tracks cut deep into stripped-back techno structures, yet remain infused with the ravey intensity and rogue experimentalism that has placed his work among both the strangest and most banging dance music to emerge from the UK in the last decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince his debut 12\" in 2007, Pangaea's music has existed in a continual state of metamorphosis. From the ghostly flex of his early singles into the rhythmic vortices of his self-released Hadal EPs, and now the mesmerising dance of In Drum Play, it's evolved into a freewheeling strain of ruffneck techno - one ear jacked into sound system culture, the other in the stomping nocturnal psychedelia of UK pioneers such as Surgeon. His DJ sets have developed in parallel, becoming fast-paced acrobatic voyages at the interface of loopy techno and more exploratory UK styles, an aesthetic captured on his 2014 mix for the Fabriclive CD series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs its title suggests, In Drum Play is a product of that feedback loop between the studio and the club. The devilishly funky intensity of tracks like 'Rotor Soap', 'More Is More To Burn' and 'DNS' emerged froma desire to write music that mirrored the late night dancefloor environments that McAuley has been DJing within. Crafted around sharpened motifs that burrow simultaneously into mind and body, they rank among his headiest and most forceful music to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet these tracks remain alive with the subtle diversions and shifts in mood that have always made his music so distinctive. The snakelocked metal drums and glowing melodies of 'Skips Desk', 'Bulb In Zinc' and 'One By One' are pure volatile energy, their bubbling percussive momentum building on killer earlier Pangaea cuts like 'Hex' and 'Viaduct'. Elsewhere, the record drifts off into increasingly dream-like zones; 'Lofty Can' and the pirouetting flute melodies of highlight 'Send It In' slow the tempo to a simmering steppers' groove, creating beautifully tangled musical puzzle boxes that, as with the blissed-out ambience of 'Scaled Wing', equally recall the roaming sensibilities of Amber-era Autechre and contemporaries like Lee Gamble. Just as intrinsic to Pangaea's aesthetic as his body-shock dancefloor tracks, these form the vital connective tissue of a record that's focused and immediate, yet just as compositionally subtle as ever: a fitting debut album from a producer and DJ who has now been releasing unpredictable and exploratory dance music for almost a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hessle Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42600450490524,"sku":"HESCD003","price":9.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_d3912ab4-a750-4b46-b91a-75c933b6f150.jpg?v=1691187705"},{"product_id":"various-artists-hessle-audio-116-rising-2cd","title":"Various Artists - Hessle Audio : 116 \u0026 Rising [2CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: 2 x CD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: HESCD001\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5055317212887\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 11 Aug 2014\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Dubstep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e01: Music (Body Mix) - Elgato\u003cbr\u003e02: Cool Story Bro - Untold\u003cbr\u003e03: Potchla Vee - Blawan\u003cbr\u003e04: Stifle - Pearson Sound\u003cbr\u003e05: Twice - Joe\u003cbr\u003e06: Brunk - Randomer\u003cbr\u003e07: Run Out - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e08: Bijoux - Cosmin TRG\u003cbr\u003e09: Sub Zero - D1\u003cbr\u003e10: Fuk Tha 101 - Addison Groove\u003cbr\u003e11: Give a Man a Rod (2nd Version) - James Blake\u003cbr\u003e12: Sun Dance - Peverelist\u003cbr\u003e13: You \u0026amp; I - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e14: Test Signal - Untold\u003cbr\u003e15: Fram - Blawan\u003cbr\u003e16: Buzzard \u0026amp; Kestrel - James Blake\u003cbr\u003e17: I Can't Stop This Feeling - Untold\u003cbr\u003e18: Rut - Joe\u003cbr\u003e19: Blimey - Ramadanman\u003cbr\u003e20: Put You Down - TRG\u003cbr\u003e21: Level Crossing - Joe\u003cbr\u003e22: Why - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e23: Broken Heart (Martyn's DCM Remix) - TRG\u003cbr\u003e24: Don't Change for Me - Ramadanman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of the reasons ascribed to dubstep's continuing success has been its ability to absorb influences from across the entire electronic spectrum, and no label has been more key to its continuing evolution than Hessle Audio. Started in 2007 by David Kennedy, Ben Thomson and Kevin McAuley, the label quickly became a benchmark for quality, through releases from (the then) new artists like TRG, Untold and James Blake, as well as a vehicle for their own productions. With 18 releases over the past three years, the imprint is renowned for its impeccable quality control. Kennedy is their most prolific producer, under his Ramadanman and Pearson Sound monikers, now amalgamated into his own name. Ben UFO has always stayed true to his initial love, that of DJing almost as curation: he demonstrates this biweekly on his Rinse FM radio show and at Hessle's Fabric residency, having been one of the first to start playing with the tempo to allow for older house and garage influences in his sets. Pangaea defined his sonic palette on a self-titled EP, a landmark of 2010, with minimal rolling basslines, vocal-driven melodies and more than a nod to the music's old school roots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe compilation exists as a way to unite the entire Hessle roster, as well as allowing them an avenue to put out work by friends and producers they have been unable to work with so far. The first disc is all new work plus a second has a selection of choice cuts from the back catalogue. There's also work from producers who they feel have shaped the label's aesthetic, like D1's 'Sub Zero', whose sub bass stabs were a staple of the early DMZ sets that they initially united over back in 2005. One of their close affiliates, Addison Groove is also featured, his anthem 'Footcrab' having done so much to bring the tough tempo of juke to the world's dancefloors. The subtle pitch-shifting of a looping hip hop vocal and the polyrhythmic patter of rim shots and cymbals on 'Fuk Tha 101' are unmistakably his. Another producer previously unreleased on Hessle is synth-mad Randomer whose 'Brunk' features an industrial strength kick and finishes up with ghostly pads invoking musique concrete. The disc is rounded off by Bristol's Peverelist, whose own dub-soaked productions, as well as those released on his label Punch Drunk, owe so much to that city's rich musical traditions. On 'Sun Dance' synth chords bring to mind the dystopian drum n bass of DJ Krust, the track driven forwarded by paper-like hi-hats and cymbals. There's a single claustrophobic Hammond note held through to the close alongside the echoing sounds of water dripping in a cave.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDisc one kicks off with the spritely chimes and shuffling beat of Elgato's 'Music', whose muted vocal chant was used to such beautiful effect in Kennedy's recent FABRICLIVE mix. Untold bring's detuned chords, jangling glass and a cheeky synth line, breaking down into mutant funky house. Blawan's 'Potchla Vee' reveals some unexpected instrumentation: the skittering of what sounds like the cogs of a clock gives little breathing room to the assault of tribal drums and processed grunts. The Pearson Sound track 'Stifle' seems to slow things down, with an adenoidal vocal snippet acting as counterfoil to the percussive snap of the drums, delicate EQing and synth washes providing characteristic texture. Once again on 'Twice', Joe demonstrates the effectiveness of unexpected drum sampling, with a disconnected beat cooked up out of error bleeps and the tap of a typewriter. Pangaea's own contribution is a rave homage; oscillating between synth stabs and a filtered ragga MC sample, the track is layered with a bouncy acid bassline, creating a phantom jump up effect. Romania's TRG was Hessle's first release and here builds on his mutant garage template, with a reverb-soaked drum kit jostling against some analogue pads and a seagull-sounding distorted warble. James Blake, re-edits an earlier Hessle release, bringing the processed vocals to the fore much in the style of his recent album. It's soul music that's undecidedly electronic, the vocals screwed and chopped into the background, a virtuoso display of arrangement ordering a lacklustre pair of cowbells, a chorus of shuffles, croaks and pads into an infectious slow burner.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hessle Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42600453505180,"sku":"HESCD001","price":9.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_f41926eb-4081-410d-a4fe-58084eea19d5.jpg?v=1691187858"},{"product_id":"pangaea-changing-channels-part-1","title":"Pangaea - Changing channels: Part 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: HESLP005PT1\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5050580808270\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 06 Oct 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Techno\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: The Slip - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e02: Hole Away - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e03: Changing Channels - Pangaea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanging Channels is the new album from Pangaea, AKA Kevin McAuley, his first since 2016's acclaimed debut LP In Drum Play and a jolting reminder that functional doesn't mean complacent.

From his club focused work as Oni Ayhun, to his membership of the Swedish electronic pop group The Knife, Olof's music has always found ways to expand our ideas of what's possible in both instrumental electronic and pop music production, with an approach that is as inclusive and colourful as it is experimental.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hessle Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42756813815964,"sku":"HES045","price":15.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_5576f991-acf5-4260-b369-c0d4b2a64f4d.jpg?v=1697992255"},{"product_id":"pangaea-changing-channels-2lp","title":"Pangaea - Changing Channels [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 2 x LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: HESLP005\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5050580816213\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 24 Nov 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: Installation - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e02: Hole Away - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e03: If - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e04: The Slip - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e05: Changing Channels - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e06: Squid - Pangaea\u003cbr\u003e07: Bad Lines - Pangaea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble LP bundle, featuring both Pt. 1 \u0026amp; Pt. 2 EPs served in a PVC sleeve w\/ sticker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChanging Channels is the new album from Pangaea, AKA Kevin McAuley, his first since 2016's acclaimed debut LP In Drum Play and a jolting reminder that functional doesn't mean complacent. The seven tracks here are galloping, infectious and hypnotic, capturing Pangaea's skill at constructing bangers that reflect an innate experimental tilt without sacrificing impact. Tested across his international DJ sets, and developed during a healing period of introspection, these cohesive tracks attack and retreat with an urgent and emphatic focus on the dancefloor, and a precision so undeniable as to seem predestined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet for release October 6th, Changing Channels is the culmination of several years of exploration and refinement and has a natural home on Hessle Audio, the label McAuley co-founded in 2007. The album has formidable, unstoppable grooves – a key part of Pangaea's intentions as DJ and producer – and gleam like marble set against concrete: sleek yet rough, attractive yet abrasive. His music has always felt more twilight than dead-of-night, where mysterious elements can emerge without feeling like a threat, and that holds here, with a warmth permeating the darkness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hessle Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42831579021468,"sku":"HESLP005","price":29.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_a1e67cc6-ac94-44a1-8d66-7920ee0837fd.jpg?v=1700413266"},{"product_id":"pearson-sound-pearson-sound-vinyl-lp","title":"Pearson Sound - Pearson Sound [Vinyl LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: Vinyl LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: HESLP002\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5050580629189\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 31 Jan 24\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Electronica\/Dance (Techno)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: Asphalt Sparkle\u003cbr\u003e02: Glass Eye\u003cbr\u003e03: Gristle\u003cbr\u003e04: Crank Call\u003cbr\u003e05: Swill\u003cbr\u003e06: Six Congas\u003cbr\u003e07: Headless\u003cbr\u003e08: Russet\u003cbr\u003e09: Rubber Tree\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLP version mastered and cut at half-speed by Matt Colton \u0026amp; comes with free download card.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRadio support from Benji B \u0026amp; B Traits (BBC Radio 1), Nemone (BBC 6 Music), .

Characteristically minimalist in approach, its nine tracks use a handful of elements to craft mesmerising, self-contained worlds, alive with motion and near-subliminal detail: from vast and inky landscapes, to electrifying rhythm tracks, where layers of percussion and bass tumble over one another like rocks in a landslide. Recorded between 2013-4, Pearson Sound documents a distinct phase of Kennedy's studio explorations. \"I had a signal chain set up that I was really happy with, and I started sending my machines through the same processes\" he says. Expanding upon the techniques underpinning his recent REM and Starburst 12\"s, its tracks emerged swiftly through improvised jam sessions; some were captured in a minimum of takes, while others later took shape through extensive sculpting and post-processing. \"A lot of it was made by feeding the the same sounds between two different pieces of equipment and they'd end up feeding back between each other and snowballing. On some tracks it's about harnessing that and taking it to the brink before it disintegrates, and some of them are about just letting it go full-blown out of control.\" The result is a record of striking contrasts: bold, stark and visceral, yet also subtle, harmonically complex and deceptively playful. While Pearson Sound's livewire percussive energy remains inextricably rooted in the club, this exploratory studio process has created Kennedy's most wide-ranging yet coherent body of work to date: a suite of thrillingly impulsive, expressive and open-ended music, untethered from restrictions of form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelect tour dates:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e06\/03 Fabric, London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13\/03 Bloc Festival\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e21\/03 Berghain, Berlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e28\/03 Concrete, Paris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e16\/04 Elita Festival, Milan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e23\/04 Output, New York (All night)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e01\/05 Lux, Lisbon\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hessle Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43059584598172,"sku":"HESLP002","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/PearsonSound_5597d804-0051-43d3-8a91-ce0c7a8091ee.jpg?v=1706733152"},{"product_id":"pearson-sound-which-way-is-up","title":"Pearson Sound - Which Way Is Up","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: HES046\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 5050580833494\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 18 Oct 2024\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: Hornet - Pearson Sound\u003cbr\u003e02: Twister - Pearson Sound\u003cbr\u003e03: Slingshot - Pearson Sound\u003cbr\u003e04: Which Way Is Up - Pearson Sound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePearson Sound returns to his Hessle Audio label with Which Way Is Up, a 4 track EP showcasing a range of textures and tempos with soundsystem pressure as the anchor.
