Emotive Response
Emotions '97

The musical forest of our sub-label continues to flow. We return with another very dynamic compilation that contains emotional patterns, fast percussions, and a lot of effusiveness to pass them on to the listeners. From Italy Paolo Mosca & Patrizio Gabrielli are recognized for their fresh melodies that introduce us to unique techno scenes. The Greek Liou dominates with a very attractive bass line that drives the vibe from start to finish, and to close our new menu of South American music, Argentina Delphie composes an endless number of melodic patterns that brilliantly combine break and electro.

Written over 3 months during Autumn 2020.For Maisie.

The long awaited follow up to the sought-after first Be Told Lies VA, featuring the heavy atmospherics, luscious pads, haunting melodies that makes the label's sound unique.

In 2015 when potential remixes of BIPP were first floated the unequivocal response from SOPHIE was “No remixes..” a long pause followed “..unless it’s Autechre”. We asked, and five years later an email from Autechre arrived “sorry this is so late, hope it's still of some use”. An Autechre live show recording from a Numbers show in 2005 had first inspired SOPHIE to source the equipment used to craft new music including BIPP, LEMONADE & more. The BIPP Autechre mx is 3 minutes 33 seconds long, stripped back and loose. Sounding like Autechre paying tribute to some serious late 80’s influences. The duo's interpretation channels an imagined transition point between NY electro and UK street soul, that pitched down SOPHIE vocal reconfigured into a wanna-be Latin Freestyle Natasha King, jiving over a deep slice of TR-606 funk technology.

The 27th release on Gestalt Records comes fromManchester-based Aiden Francis, spanning three originalcuts of driving techno and a levitating remix by SouthAfrican producer Terrence Pearce aka Biodive.
