SAPIENS 007EP
|
Agoria's second outing on Sapiens presents some of his most uncompromising work to date. Boomerang manifests live percussion and analog pulse waves, rising through Shepard tone drama and succinct, minimalist form. Three additional solo performances accompany the title track; a clin d'oeil to the minimalist French synth pioneers of yesteryear. An exercise in humanity.

KOM 325EP
|
French mastermind Agoria follows his stellar remix of Michael Mayer's "Good Times" on Mantasy Remixe 2 (KOM 272EP, 2013) with his mesmerizing floor epic "Baptême." Bouncy, minimalist percussion is joined by an extensive, dub-styled sub-bass and floating shards of atmospheric synths, quickly escalating into a high-definition mover fitted with gorgeous swabs of piano and a keen sense for emotional space. Luke Jenner (The Rapture, DJ Tennis) adds more wiggle-room to the proceedings with enticing new vocals in his "Lucky Blue Eyes Version," which Agoria retouches to sharpen its blurry edges and put the vocals to work in a primetime environment.

FABRIC 113CD
|
2011 release. French techno figurehead Agoria presents one of the most diverse and meticulous sets to hit the Fabric series to date. Fabric 57 is as ambitious in range and technique as Agoria's earlier contributions to the At the Controls and Balance series. Jazz greats drift almost imperceptibly into and out of house and techno heavyweights. Layers and snippets of each track are interwoven throughout the duration, making Fabric 57 as much an orchestral composition as it is a DJ mix. Other artists include: Vainqueur, Ensemble Economique, Zodiac Free Arts Club, STL, Blacmale, Moritz von Oswald/Tony Allen, Ella Fitzgerald with Buddy Bregman Orchestra, Sydenham & Joe Claussell, Clara Moto feat. Mimu, Lil Tony, Canyons, DJ Kaos, DJ Tazz, Eisbar, Space Dimension Controller, Agoria feat. Carl Craig & La Scalars, Sun Ra And His Mythic Science Arkestra, Agoria feat. Carl Craig & La Scalars, Infiniti, Cottam, Mark E, and Jose James.
