eduardo de la calle - precursors e.p.

cadenza is always committed to bringing new artists and more abstract dance sounds to the forefront, and eduardo de la calle's cadenza debut is a terrific example of the forward thinking, musical vision of the label. having released a steady stream of vinyl 12's on his analog solutions label, the spanish dj and producer flexes his other-worldy electronics on luciano's ten year old imprint. "pink water" takes a minimal groove and splashes analog drops over a searing synth background, its melancholic melodies snaking in and around the joyous spring reverb fx of the machines, creating a very unique and commanding track. on the b side, "madhusudhana" is built upon a feint jazz funk loop, with shuffling hats and breathy atmospherics working off the heavy oscillations, coming over like a long lost planet e release. third track, "the sneak", continues the "precursors" theme of "machine music", a rubbery beat welcomes in the trippy and psychedelic synth work, a delicate melody plays behind a heavy, groaning wave, pinging against the reverberating hits, providing another memorable and abstract tracka. pink water
