PLE 65389EP
|
"Icosahedrite" refers to the geometric figure icosahedron, and it represents the amalgam of electronic music styles with aspects of traditional musical genres on this EP. "Phason Jazz" sees conventional jazz structures converge with electronica -- Eduardo De La Calle's influences from Miles Davis and John Coltrane are apparent. Twisted keyboards patterns mixed with delays and deafening effects. "Mr Dewey D" is refers again to Miles, but it is much more influenced by Dark Comedy (aka Kenny Larkin) and the French label Poussez. The floating pianos on "Rhythmic Soundscapes" combine with back-and-forth bass sounds, forming a musical piece with techno sensibilities.

OFOC 007EP
|
Eduardo De La Calle is back on Forbidden Colours, again flaunting his connection with El_Txef_A. The release consists of three original cuts. On the A Side at 45 rpm is the energy and freneticism of "Hobson's Choice": "Because a person may refuse to accept what is offered, the two options are taking it or taking nothing." On the B side, the sublime "Paradox Of Choice" leads with a strange kick loop and astral synthesizers followed by "Transportation Forecasting", where a classic 4x4 kick is paired with analog recordings to depict a more colorful setting.

DJ and producer Eduardo de la Calle presents a complete collection of tracks from his four Analog Grooves 12"s released from 2012 to 2015. "Among De La Calle's expansive output of 60 records over the past half decade -- and aside from releases on his own label Analog Solutions, and the likes of Nonplus, Cadenza and Semantica -- is a series of four for Mental Groove, collected under the Analog Grooves banner. Started in 2012, the project focuses on a more experimental, and more meditative, approach to techno, one suffused with jazz sensibilities and a cosmic mindset" --Brian Kolada, Resident Advisor. Rather than a collection of disparate dance tunes, the 12"s were initially intended to form a complete journey, which is fully realized in this collection. The cover artwork reproduces the cover of the Voyager Golden Record, which was included aboard both Voyager spacecraft launched in 1997, intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form or future humans.

CADENZA 107EP
|
Spanish DJ and producer Eduardo de la Calle presents the refined techno of Anima Animus, following stellar releases on Cadenza, Mule Musiq, Hivern Discs, Be as One, and Nonplus. Drawing inspiration from Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung's concept of the anima and animus, "Anima Animus" marries arpeggiated synths and melodic chords with a soft kick and tantalizing hats for a slick piece of reflective techno alive with melody and groove. On "North Pole," subaquatic bass and searing, melancholic strings play out over a steady, mechanical beat, recalling the Detroit masters as well as the European new wave sounds that influenced them.

MNSX 004EP
|
Eduardo de la Calle takes a tougher stance than on his silkier productions, heading into rough, raw, analog terrain for Midnight Shift's MNSX series. The relentless, pulsating, slithering acid bassline of "Roswell Case" makes it a peak-time earworm roller. On "Synthesized Priorities," the soul of the machine makes itself heard -- another hypnotic builder. "Mexican Madness" is a twisted journey led by an analog synth; a peculiar product waiting to wreck insane havoc on the floor. On his remix of "Mexican Madness," Jacob Martin aka Hodge turns the opening synth groove totally rugged -- another winning move from the Bristolian producer.

CADENZA 099EP
|
Eduardo de la Calle presents The Methodical Machines EP, his third in a string for Luciano's Cadenza, following Precursors EP (CADENZA 087EP) and The Motorglider EP (CADENZA 092EP). Across two 12"s, de la Calle showcases his minimal and soulful grooves. The sci-fi vibes of "Gajapati" build over brooding and spongy production, while "The Namuci's Mystery" is soaked with pitch-bending synths and rasping, acidic stabs. Jazz influences appear on "Concierto de Aranjuez," with freestyle keys and wandering waveforms floating over a popping beat, while "The Demigod's Control" comes to life with stuttering electronics and rising pads, filled with emotion and soul.

CADENZA 092EP
|
On The Motorglider EP Spanish DJ and producer Eduardo De La Calle aims straight at the emotive jugular on "Somewhere in Your Arms." From its dusty opening bars, the track opens up with heart-tugging melodies and pitch-bending synths, the machines tweaking and turning while the micro grooves underpin the track. "Altar De Sacrificio" goes fathoms deep, coming across like some John Carpenter film score, the heavy arped bass-line creating a real dense mood, only to be broken by dramatic and melancholic stabs. "Broken Bonus" features filtering drums and blankets of lush pads and faint keys condensed into a simple 2:30 skit.

MUSIQ 165EP

Mule Musiq presents Spanish artist Eduardo de la Calle. Excellent releases on Superwax Rec, Cadenza, and Mentalgroove, to name just a couple. His music is hypnotic and minimal, but also quite musical -- reminiscent of early Villalobos. "The Ranchor's Time" is timeless, hypnotic techno. On the B-side, both tracks are rendered in a more Berlin-house style, for fans of Kink or Levon Vincent.

CADENZA 087EP
|
Spanish DJ and producer Eduardo De La Calle's Cadenza debut is a terrific example of the forward-thinking musical vision of the label. "Pink Water" takes a minimal groove and splashes analog drops over a searing synth background. "Madhusudhana" is built upon a feint jazz-funk loop, with shuffling hats and breathy atmospherics working off the heavy oscillations. "The Sneak" continues the theme of machine music, a rubbery beat welcoming in the trippy and psychedelic synth-work to create a memorable and abstract track.
