PREMIERE: Bastien - Ralentir [Red Edge]
There must be something in the Barcelonian water, as today we’re happy to premiere a track from a recently developed anonymous project called Bastien. Formed as a new expression of music from the Spanish cities rich scene, the source unknown, yet the quality incredible as always. The 10 track release is a masterclass in rich, emotive Ambient that marks the second fantastic release on Spanish label ‘Red Edge’. With whom we’ve worked with in the past to premiere a prior Absis release.
Ralentir starts off strong with a bouncing melody, flipping up and down, giving movement and a lighter atmosphere joined by a few disembodied voices providing an otherworldly effect. This effect is amplified by a uniquely elongated bass line that takes a listener farther out into the experimental planes, and contrasts nicely with the bright melodies.
Ralentir and the remainder of the ‘Temps Boro’ release will be out on Red Edge, April 8th.
