Aire will release his new seven-track collection ‘JMA’ on 16th November via Glacial Industries.
The Barcelona-based artist veers from ambient sound design and noise to UK hip-hop and dubstep throughout the release, one that is described as an “odyssey that documents the producers emotional, internal battles with himself”.
The emotional candour of the release is prominent as distorted and at times anguished melodies stab their way into the mix atop brutal, bassy rhythmic passages.
Barcelona-based producer BLD (AKA Baldo) is set to release the third EP on his own BLD Tape Recordings imprint this Friday 13th July.
‘Chamber Tracks’ finds the producer on top form, executing his penchant for rapid, high-octane that retains a playful smirk despite its grit. Opening track ‘Radiator’ is a fearsome acid techno brawler that soars with a goofy abandon while ‘Nacre & Gold (Basic Pattern S)’ it brash, minimal affair that frosts over halfway through to great effect.
Carl Cox, Paul Kalkbrenner, Loco Dice and a whole host of other artist have all locked in dates for the Brunch In The Park summer series, which returns to Joan Brossa Gardens in Barcelona, Spain, and runs between 1st July to 16th September.
