Future EP

A 6 track leftfield/idm ep (20m 52s) — released June 23rd 2014 on Public Information

As Summer awakes we head toward the 4/4.

This is the first in our series of limited edition 12"s aimed at those dancefloors with nary a Guetta in sight. Presented in special debossed sleeve, numbered one-off pressings that give us the chance to introduce some of the most interesting names on our spectrum.

For our maiden voyage, we cross Europe, to sunnier climes, to Portugal… to IVVVO. A young producer with some early history on the estimable Opal Tapes and closely affiliated with the Photonz crew, the Future EP represents his most exciting work yet.

Six transmissions long- vinyl scarred, abrasive and heartbroken, IVVVO reaches into early UK Rave music for inspiration, but twists the endgame.The yearning vocal, the minor key whisper, the shuffling breakbeat, the bleep, the bloop, and the seeping tape bleed- all present. Yet IVVVO mangles these core elements of dance music past into something that sizzles headfirst into 2013.

Opening cut "Darkness in my Soul" kicks off the record in a sad-glare of tone bursts, aching lead lines and throbbing kicks. Elsewhere he reaches into his bag for stinging hats, tweaked vamps and nagging hooks. All tracks clock in shy of five minutes. IVVVO'S way is the quick
release, the instant blast, the cute melodic touch… smouldering in warehouse black. No time for bloated dance formulas here.

And then, the piano. Bookending either side sits a pair of devastating miniatures, played on his Grandma's piano, prepared, cloaked in hiss and ending these plates with a kiss of forlorn ambience. A funereal flourish to the Death of Rave… to the Future…
