Untold Stories - Prologue EP [SMD078]


The 78th release on Suffused Music features the debut of a new and exciting artist by the name of Untold Stories. Hailing from Argentina with years of studio experience already under his belt Untold Stories presents his debut EP entitled 'Prologue' which includes five brand new original productions. Suffused Music has always been a label with their ear to the ground. The Lithuanian imprint has launched and nurtured the careers of several electronic music hopefuls and Untold Stories may hold the most promise yet.

The lead track on the EP 'Broken Tusk' starts things off with a deep and enchanting vibe that sets an amazing mood for the remainder of the EP. Well carved lead tones add a colourful flair while the warm undulating foundation locks down an amazing groove. A subtle atmospheric overlay builds a delicate tension throughout and heightens the senses for an even more stimulating second half. Already played by Hernan Cattaneo on his Resident podcast 'Broken Tusk' looks to be one of the most intriguing records as 2015 begins. The second selection 'Dark Shore' carries an even deeper, darker presence with big growling bass swells and an ominous complement of shifty melodic themes. The long spaced out interlude may be the highlight though and sets up an even smoother second half conclusion. On 'Shornhelm' Untold Stories shows his studio versatility with a slightly tougher and decidedly funkier affair. Backed by another rousing and immaculately carved groove this is one production with a real nose for the dance floor. Raspy electronic hooks highlight the records third act and are sure to be ingrained in your memory long after the night is over. This leads perfectly into the big and bold 'Skyshard' which is perhaps the most traditional sounding progressive track on the EP. A Natious style bass line is sure to delight old school Sasha fans and it's broken beat interlude proves to be the ultimate centrepiece. As the breakbeats gets washed away you're left with one of the most emotional soundscape's of Untold Stories young career. Heartfelt chord changes lead the charge as act 3 begins and should provide a goosebump worthy finish. The EP is capped off with 'Wayshire' which fittingly enough brings the energy down a touch with a deep yet funky approach. Lead by a crunchy rhythmic sequence and a granular decay it's an incredibly stimulating piece. Another sizable break shifts the mood into spaced out territory before a smooth re-entry charges up the funky hooks for an exhilarating conclusion. It rounds out what are five excellent productions from this exciting new moniker, already creating a buzz in the electronic music underground Untold Stories looks to be one of Argentina's hottest new names for 2015. – Release Promo
