released June 20, 2016

Seething, thrilling, hypnotic dance music, in the mighty tradition of Carl Craig’s Bug In The Bass Bin. Two constantly shifting blends of Belfi’s multi-rhythmic snare-work with stately drones and shimmering electronica. Themes and traces continually loom and recede, rocking to a deep, pulsating bass drum, and tautened by a widescreen sense of drama (with Morricone in mind).

(‘Cera persa’, in Italian; ‘casa perdue’, in French: ‘lost-wax’ or ‘investment’ casting, by which a sculpture is duplicated.)

—

« Electro-acoustic experimenter Andrea Belfi (B/B/S, The Swifter) veers towards techno structures in Cera Persa for the Paris-based Latency label.

Too somnambulant for the ‘floor, best suited for home listening immersion, the piece is cleft in two parts and follows a crumb trail of softly struck drums into fizzing, stereoscopic gloom, eventually encountering shuffling jazz hits and strange, scrabbly electronics therein. No handrails. »

hazy deep mnimal excellence. alluring atmospheric longings often sublimely punctuated by spectacular full-body bass drums and perfect original plucky basslines that sit smack dab in your face. hell of a debut for this artist. we NEED more. highly recommended tech right here. would be daft of me to highlight single cut on this magical transmission. the entire album kills Ews Nsj
