Release Note ......::
Having carved out a lane truly his own in the often harshly competitive world
of techno, Argentinian-born / Barcelona-based producer Sebastian Lopez, alias
Flug, has long proven to be no bit player in the scene and his compositions
have kept signalling a fighting fit producer, whose highest standards of floor
skippering and experimentation-friendly approach have never failed him over the
years. Resurfacing three years after the drop of his debut vinyl album, -In
Safe Hiding-, Flug clocks in on Quartz Rec with -Flug I The Collection- - a
long-player bound to reconnect fully with the club and produce very energetic
tracks that represent the techno he loves playing during his DJ sets. All
tracks were originally written on tour, on the plane or in hotel rooms to
better capture the dancefloors vibe, using field recordings from around the
globe and later processed in the studio via his analogue arsenal of preference.
Displaying the many octaves of his craft through great spreads of high-impact
club engineering and frenzy-whipping mechanics, Flug takes us on a pulsating
ride across the history of dance music - taking cues from Detroit's own
cosmo-telluric tramplers from back the Underground Resistance armada's heyday,
the Roman scene's classic acidulous four-to-the-floors, Berlin's
big-room-busting DNA, dredged with a hint of dubby exploratory manoeuvres a la
Maurizio. Both mineral in strength but liquid in its flowing abilities, Lopez's
newest extension into the deep and intricate realms of club music collages
without pastiching, extracts without bleeding dry, forming the backbone to an
assortment of cuts that shall awake the restless dancer in you with optimal
effect.
If tracks like the lushly verbed-out 'Ephos' and 'Sequences From The Black
Basement' perhaps best define the track collection's overall headspace, merging
Flug's trademark melodic shine with further obliterating rhythms that are sure
to lay absolute waste in their wake, others like 'Mars' and 'Hyperventilation'
go straight for the jugular with their deadly mix of paced-up martial rhythmics
and elliptical grooves gone amok. Just as easy steering the focus into further
leftfield-friendly horizons, like on the droney 'Ratio', via the freaky
acid-popping of 'Box In A Box' and ambitious width of scope of 'A Different
Choice', Lopez delivers something of a life-affirming message with this choice
selection of club-oriented delicacies; drawing as much inspiration and energy
from the dancefloors Flug got to become intimate with, as he intends to reflect
such inspirational forces and energies across the rooms.
