La Pavonia EP (Incl. DC Salas Remix)

Suicide AFTR 7 is a musical partnership forged across two continents. This cross-Atlanticcollaboration was founded in Barcelona by New York’s Neud Photo and London’s Antic.Distributed by Runas, a new label also based in Barcelona. New beat and Proto-Waveinfluences permeate the 12”.Lean, mean, and evocative, "Soft Geometry" sets the stage with its blend of classicanalogue textures and a sound palette that evokes the darker, more hypnotic side ofelectronic music. Throaty samples whisper through a synthesizer smoke, sodden basslines throb against scaling crystalline chords.The standout track, "Interplay", is an instant classic. Lyrics are distant, words ring, “Distantshadows," as snapping snares and warming pulses pull the listener closer drawing youdeeper into its hypnotic world. Across the four offerings, a brooding dance floor looms; ashadowy square of bodies shrouded in fog, pierced by strobe. This track will stick with youlong after the music fades, a perfect blend of light and shade. It's the undeniabledancefloor moment on the EP, forever playful, forever bumpin."Last Word" pulses with a cold, hypnotic groove, driven by a deep 808 groove that'll getyou moving. Think hypnotic rhythms, driving basslines, and a touch of electro grit. Slow,ethereal strings and shimmering synth stabs create an atmosphere of tension, punctuatedby film noir samples.A sinister seam runs through the entire EP, coming to the surface for “Blind Spot.” Tersepercussive patterns and eclipsed synthlines are stalked by vocals stripped of emotion, themantra of “We are your enemy” encircling to a close.

Meet The Mechanic: Tom Ries, formerly one of Offenbach’s groove technicians, now based in Berlin, delivers three stripped house tunes designed for full dancefloor function. Known for his role in the Pager Records orbit and his dry, deadpan charm (in both music and manners), each piece here hums with twitchy funk, stripped-down functionality, and just enough mischief under the hood. We first hit him up as fans. A year later, The Mechanic is ready to roll. Built by hand, tested in clubs, and delivered with a grin.
