PLR releases its 11th release including 2 original tracks by Exon and remixes by parisian Folamour and Italian-Berlin-Based-Currently-in-South-America Martin Patiño!
The title track is a gorgeous record of Chicago-tinged house awash with lush synths, downbeat chords and stuttered percussion.
Folamour’s ‘Dusty Fingers’ rework of ‘Doorbell’ sees the Frenchman on an old school tip; incorporating record scratches, chopped vocal samples and drum breaks giving the record a 90s hip-hop feel with a nod to crate diggers everywhere.
‘Forêt Bleue’ is a more stripped back affair, led by a drum machine jam that’s layered with solemn key changes and sounds of the forest. The track is punctured by a Balearic-like guitar breakdown that feels like we’ve stumbled into a clearing before setting off again into the trees, pace quickened.
On remix duty Berlin-based Martin Patiño takes ‘Forêt Bleue’ to the dancefloor, injecting it with uplifting strings, hypnotic percussion and a bass-line that burrows into the conscience.
Doorbell EP is another feather in the cap of Play Label Records growing catalogue that can’t fail to light up dance floors in Brussels and beyond.
