posted by Egle P
Simon Tappenden, one half of Pop Out & Play, delivers a 2-track release next on SexOnWax Recordings – the raw saw-tooth main synth hook of the opener ‘Medicine’ is an interesting contrast to the softer breakdown that develops from it, and Simon shows his broad musical palette superbly with ‘Through The Light’, a deeper, more subtle affair with dreamlike pads and freshly-chopped beats Buy Link: http://www.beatport.com/release/through-the-light-ep/1207725

Dreamy tones and intricate synthwork over chopped percussion open this release from Fauvrelle & Mi Ke, with first track ‘The Industry’ – moving on, the big spoken word/bass note drop of ‘Sampling Fixation’ builds back to a solid groove, while the final track ‘Only The Breaks’ also employs edited spoken vocals to great effect, adding to this slow-burning head-nodding chugger.

Growing up in London, with Persian roots, Omid was influenced by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, The Cure, Depeche Mode, RIDE and The Mission. Throughout his teens he became an accomplished musician playing a list of instruments while attending Richmond College and utilising the music rooms at any given chance. “I was supposed to be studying but always missed a lesson or two if the music rooms were free” Omid played his first gig in his home town Putney at the age of sixteen (Vocals/ Guitar), performing with his own band “The Reunion” which continued to play the pub circuit in London for a further two years.
