Official press release:
In recent years Lost Souls have established themselves as one of the dominant forces on the London club scene, holding regular parties at Public Life as well as outstanding one off events across the capital. Now head honcho Antony di Francesco takes the brand to the next stage with the launch of the Lost Souls label. Techno and dubstep provide the foundations of this new imprint that looks to fuse these two scenes with the help of some the the most exciting producers and remixes out there.
The debut release comes from German duo Misc. an act who have released consistently outstanding music on labels such as Kompakt, Resopal & Klang Elektonik. When not in the studio they are key players on Europe’s live techno scene with an act that has been building an every increasing level of support for the sound of Misc.
The ‘Chemosphere EP’ is built around two original recordings, ‘Chemosphere’ and ‘Hooked’ with remixes from Bristol dubstep don Headhunter and techno wunderkind Perc.
Opening cut ‘Chemosphere’ is an intense percussive techno workout with a relentless bassline, swirling fx and spastik-esque snare rolls. A heads down piece of warehouse wizardry that ticks all the right boxes and pushes every button correctly!
Next up is Headhunter’s reworking of the opening track. An intro of dubby delayed electronic stabs leads smoothly into broken beats and a pulsing bassline. Spaced out dubstep with a techno twist, this is bound to please both camps in equal measure.
Next is Misc.’s ‘Hooked’, their own take on the sound of dubstep. This is a high tempo, dark tinged affair that draws you in from the opening bars. Simple vocals chops and metallic stabs sit over the skittering percussion and rumbling bottom end to create a atmosphere ladened cut.
The penultimate track sees Perc set about rebuilding ‘Hooked’ into a tough techno monster. This is a no holds barred version that goes straight for the jugular and is reminiscent of classic R&S. A standout remix from one of the UK’s top techno talents.
To round things off there is a digital exclusive in the form of ‘.TXT’ a spaced out dubstep track that takes on a distinctly ambient sound.
A great package from a great act and a debut from a label that you can be sure will be making waves over the coming months and years.
