Core

Description

Like a crusader, Apollo Noir relentlessly pursues his noble cause: pushing the boundaries of modular and analog experimentation ever further while remaining irresistibly accessible. Here is CORE, his fourth studio album, blending Detroit post-rave techno à la Drexciya and the early Manchester days of Autechre (Spiral), the most epic era of OPN (Nobody On The Floor), British futuristic jungle (A Good Brainwash), Letfield's amen break-laced ambient, a monumental and exquisite track (CORE) featuring close friends of Remi Sauzedde (Janis, Ley, Claude Violante, Silly Boy Blue, S Diamah, Serguei Spoutnik and Fly HQ), delving deeper - as a true enthusiast of drum machines (TR909, TR808 and TR606) - into the raw deconstruction of techno rhythms, unleashing a dark and powerful bassline at 145 bpm with grime vocal samples, heavy modular beats blending perfectly with soft, vocal-like Korg M1 pads...Apollo Noir knows his classics and contemporaries inside out, carving his own path with experiments that are both wild and sublime.For electronic music enthusiasts: from Warp, Hyperdub and R&S labels of the early 90s and 2000s to post-genre devotees of Generation Z.
