Milanese producer Nelson of the East sets out on a deeper exploration of percussive house/techno on Sub Erotic, the first release on Tartelet Record's new dance floor-focused sub-label Dancemporium. Following his 2021 album release of Kybele (TARTALB 013LP), Nelson of the East (Nicolas Meyer) is embarking on a new area of sonic exploration rooted in club music motifs. His forthcoming EP, Sub Erotic, builds on his accomplished artistic imprint, balancing the urgent pulse of dance music with the rhythmic sensibilities of non-Western cultures. "After the release of Kybele, it took me a while to figure out what would be a good sequel, and I found myself deconstructing tracks from the album," says Nelson. "I came to the conclusion that the most important thing on the new EP would be the relationship between the different elements, while trying to use fewer layers." While the lilt and sway of organic musicality remains at the heart of his sound, the Berlin-based producer applies the sequalities in a variety of ways. On "Ellipsis", for example, live percussive patterns were recorded and recreated using synthesis, which Nelson found to be more effective than the acoustic originals. The result is three tracks that pivot around danceable structures while moving well outside the established norms of house and techno. From the pinging textures and staggered beat impulses of "Ellipsis" to the go go-flavored funk of "Sub Erotic" and the trance-inducing acid incantation of "Memoria"; Nelson's distinctive inspirations spill out of his music in intriguing formations. Danish mainstay Kasper Marott rounds out the EP, applying a seductive pulse to push "Ellipsis" towards a psychoactive peak. The perfect brooding partner to the original, while reinforcing Nelson's vision of an electronically minded album. Sub Erotic marks the first release on Dancemporium, Tartelet Records' new home for dance floor-oriented music. Having grown to become a broad church of musical modes and expressions, the label is now breaking out into more focused sonic spheres. With his use of rich timbres and adventurous spirit, Nelson of the East is the perfect inaugural candidate.
