E.R.P. AKA Convextion returns with first original material in four years, with four new tracks of machine funk electro.
Intergalactic sounds envelop tight grooves in this futuristic new ‘Untitled’ EP by Gerard Hanson, the genius mind behind the E.R.P. and Convextion aliases responsible for some of the most talked about electro records of the last two decades. He’s now dropping four fresh tracks of cosmic greatness on influential Spanish record label Apnea records, which recently reissued Heinrich Mueller & Beta Evers’ ‘Experiment Defined’.
‘Lake Bachman’ kicks off this mysterious and introspective journey, its warm, analog bass taking root as wandering synths float above crisp 808 rhythms. ‘Summer Springs’ follows up with the steady squelch of an arpeggio, swelling pads teasing the listener’s curiosity as ethereal keys gently touch the surface. The machines then take over in ‘Myrtle’, seemingly developing a language of bleeps and zaps with irresistible arps and soft synths breaking through for brief intermissions. Lastly, ‘Station Wagon’ drops the curtain with more rich melodies and a unique depth, wrapping up this sublime ‘Untitled’ EP from the pivotal artist
Gerard Hanson’s catalogue is a true treasure trove reaching back to the late ’90s. This vast discography spanning both his aliases helped shape the electro scene, as well as vital labels such as Frustrated Funk and its sublabels, with tracks appearing on Craig Richards’ carefully curated Fabric compilations twice. His refined production style makes him one of the most respected names in electronic music, with ‘Untitled’ fitting in as yet another must have for collectors.
We are presenting the third track ‘Myrtle’.
‘Untitled’ EP will be available after the 5th of May HERE.
