Fernando Olaya - Gravity EP [SMD196]


The 196th release on Suffused Music welcomes Fernando Olaya to the label for his debut appearance. Long considered one of Colombia's most talented progressive house artists Fernando has showcased his music on Cid Inc's Replug Records, Manual Music, Movement Recordings and Traum. Now embarking on his first project for Suffused Music, Fernando presents his much anticipated 'Gravity' EP.

Fusing progressive, techno and deeper sounds is something that comes naturally to Fernando and it's given his discography a broad scope. The lead track 'Blooming Era' shows his versatility once again with its strong meditative qualities and linear techno sensibilities. Not lost in the infinite loops is musicality, as a gorgeous complement of chimes layers the pulsating framework with vocal refrains adding their own emotive charm.

The EP's second selection and also its title track 'Gravity' comes in quirky with a playful energy and mountains of funk. Backed by a romping, house inspired groove, it's a bouncy seven minute journey with oriental  motifs and stunning electronics. A spaced out break proves to be the high point with astral modulation and frayed sonics eventually delivering a magical drop.

Coming in as the most progressive minded of the three the release concludes with 'Mon Seir'. It's melancholic moods shift the energy of the EP into an esoteric emotional plane. Dark tones, mystical atmospheres and a buzzing tension run through the production, before a cavernous, cinematic break sends the beats further into the cosmos.

Three stunning productions from Fernando which make for one of his most well rounded and mature releases to date.
