TRACKS A1 Conflate Four A2 Fool Me Again B1 Conflate Five B2 Welder We have got a stunning debut lined up for magical number 10. Amsterdam™s Stefan Vincent will release his first BALANS twelve by the end of april and we are really extremely excited to unleash these 4 gems into the world. Both Conflate Four and Five are about as trippy as it gets, reminding us of the golden 90™s era of psychedelic Detroit and Berlin techno. But with a distinct Dutch flavour off course, think Steve Rachmad under his Ignacio monniker. Washes of synth arps are getting all the room they need to breath, expand and contract thanks to the ultra minimalistic grooves of both tunes. Stefan showcases a different side of himself on ˜Fool Me Again™ and ˜Welder™. Two downtempo, electronic, ambient cuts. ˜Welder™ embraces futuristic synths and abstract, alienating sounddesign, while ˜Fool Me Again™ is Detroit melancholy at it™s best: try and not get goosebumps.
