The latest offering from Suffused Music finds the label presenting the newest instalment in its 'Initializing' series. With over four years and sixteen volumes under its belt the series now shifts its focus to a more concise approach, trimming the releases down from full length LPs to an EP based format, thus allowing the artists greater space and a more prominent showcase. Featured on the seventeenth volume are (in order of appearance) Eli Amsalevski & Elior Elimelech, K3V, Matias Carafa, No One Name & Other Side and Chappano.
Having previously collaborated for Lonya’s ASymmetric Recordings, Eli Amsalevski & Elior Elimelech lead the EP off with ‘Wanga’. Embodying the spirit of ‘Initializing’, the Israel duo present a distinctly modern, tech-prog composition. A backbone of funky bass tones sets the foundation for bleepy electronics and clattering drums to fuel it’s rhythmic core. Not without poignant moments, the main break presents a free flowing melodic narrative, bright and vibrant it sets up a smooth and soulful finale perfectly.
Next up K3V makes his label debut following a release on Aly & Fila’s FSOE UV imprint. ‘Eleventh Hour’ is an energetic, crunchy progressive bomb that’s perfectly dialled for a peak time dance floor. It’s rough, chugging groove is ripe with character, while an array of cosmic effects and tantalizing melodies converge for an exhilarating apex. Definitely an artist on the rise and one to keep a close eye on as 2018 progresses.
Also making his first appearance on the label is Matias Carafa who has grown into one of Argentina’s most promising progressive house talents. Support from Hernan Cattaneo along with releases on BC2 and Northern Lights have highlighted his five year career. Now making his Suffused Music debut Matias presents the excellent ‘Domingo’. A punchy, stripped groove proves to the perfect framework for a variety of quirky synth motifs and esoteric effects. The near two minute break has a flair for the dramatic, melting down to distinct sonic artefakts before it’s gaseous resonance washes away into a pulsating underbelly.
Next up No One Name and Other Side come together for their debut collaboration in ‘Alguien Temporal’. Deep and mysterious from the outset it’s an expansive journey into gaseous atmospheres and pulsating beats. Split into two breaks the second act opts for a meditative approach, housing the energetic core as icy pads and waves of noise add just the right emotional touch.
The release concludes with another label debut from rising star Chappano. Hailing from Argentina, Juan Gabriel Campisi Calderon aka Chappano found a home on the now defunct System Recordings in 2014 before going on to record an EP for Smart Phenomena Records to begin 2018. Now stepping up for his Suffused Music debut Chappano presents his most sought after production to date in ‘Always’. Beginning with light, playful melodies the narrative shifts into the grandiose with a reflective breakdown, calling upon many progressive anthems from yesteryear with it’s heightened atmosphere and euphoric rush. No doubt a highlight in many sets to come and the perfect piece to round out another must have edition of Suffused Music’s ‘Initializing’ series.
