“Your perfect soundtrack for this hot summer.”

That could be the perfect quote behind this release made of bouncy wild beats and warm adorable leads.

After a release on “nothing less” than the well-known Monotonik netlabel, Risch pays a visit at petite&jolie and we have to admit he definitly knows how to cook this very particular electronica up, evoking a lot of early year 2000 influences by mashing up breakbeats and pop-esque melodies.

Drills’n’pink, here’s what you ask? here’s what you get and we don’t have that bad habit to lie to yourself, do we?

No need to be a synesthete to see these monsters appearing in front of our eyes, jumping, hiding, pulling your legs and making grimaces.
Sometimes quiet, and then mad, they all have their own personnal stories to tell you when walking downtown and here, at the petite&jolie treehouse, we hope you’ll be listenning at them hopping down the streets, because we love when people are enjoying life this way… after all, isn’t all about enjoying the moment?

Of course, this release is best enjoyed burnt and dragged into its cute cover, designed with love by Emi whose first appearance on petite&jolie will be, for sure, remarked.

So now let’s go! Catch these missing monsters!

Risch – Synesthesia {mtk203}

Artist: Risch
Title:
Synesthesia
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
mtk203
Release Date:
2008/06/22


A Monotonik debut from UK electronic music artist Risch, who brings an almost Ninja Tune-esque cut-up electronics aesthetic to us with his debut EP, ‘Synesthesia’ – a delightfully flippant mix of voice samples, funky beats, and beauteous melodies.

The whole caboodle starts out with ‘Doppelverstraker’, which grooves along to a relaxed beat while also popping in samples about the pressures of modern life, before ‘Observing Fractals In Clouds’ tries the spikier, glitchier beats with great results.

Meanwhile, it ends out with ‘Under A Starry Sky’, epic guitars vs synths, and ‘5.08AM’, a chilled closer drifting off into the distance. Another example that this style of electronic music is far from dead in 2008 – 12 years after we started – and reason for us to be happy to still be here. Yay.
