about

Montréal’s Humidex label launches with three technoid tracks from its founders S. Chioini, Absurde and softcoresoft.

S. Chioini brings in the humidity with his broken percussive number +4 Degrees, a bass driven track built upon crystalline sound design, sweeping envelopes and moody pads. Its precise structure, micro-edited cuts and syncopated drums relate to the composer’s electroacoustic background as much as to roots in contemporary music and a dedicated taste for experimental sounds.

Absurde’s Buckle Up! is a motor of unfurling, rotary loops and galloping percussion. A screaming bell cuts through the groove while hypnotic synth arpeggios enter halfway through, forming a call and response of rhythmic elements.

softcoresoft closes this EP with an acid banger that is at once joyous and introspective. Its odd clap patterns create a push and pull of energetic internal rhythms. A trancy synth enters towards the end to anchor the entheogenic journey of the track. Generating the Divine Within makes you want to close your eyes on the dancefloor.

This is rather difficult to describe. It's pretty minimalist with a strong focus on the drumming patterns, yet these are rather gentle and not aggressive. The more the listener progress through the tracks, some melodies start to come in smoothing a bit the edges. I'd recommend listening from beginning to end in one go to get the full scope of this EP.
