Philipp Priebe – Layers Of Longing

Description

Philipp Priebe returns to his own Stlar imprint this August with his Layers Of Longing EP, comprising four original compositions.

Berlin artist Philipp Priebes now extensive back catalogue and his Stlar label has firmly cemented him as a coveted figure in the underground deep house and techno scene over the past decade, garnering an array of widespread attention from DJs and media like through numerous EPs, debut album on his own imprint and most recently another long player for Freund Der Families new Paradijs Boogie imprint.

Here we see Priebes sonic story continue with four fresh cuts for Stlar, leading the way is Need & Desire, a seven and a half minute excursion through hazy textural elements, hypnotic spoken word and raw reduced drums before A Functional Piece Of Different Nature lays down a sturdy, heavily swung and saturated rhythm section alongside boomy low end swells, delayed vocal chants and spiralling dub echoes.

Opening the flip-side is A Sculpture, diving deeper into dub realms via ever evolving murky atmospherics, dub flutters and resonant synth licks intertwined with stripped down percussion. To Find A Seat then concludes the release, employing more classic dub techno tropes as warbled stabs sequences, cavernous reverberations and cinematic stings float atop crisp hats, crunchy claps and a weighty 4/4 kick.

Layers of Longing is a sonic space built from fragments of desire, function, memory, and form. Each track opens a new roomunfolding quiet intensities and emotional textures. (via Label)
