Nicole Moudaber welcomes a kindred spirit to the MOOD family: Fabio Florido. Connected technically through their roles as ambassadors in Hawtin's Playdifferently movement for innovative technology. Now Fabio and the MOOD founder connect once again with a stunning three-track debut label release. Adding more fuel to his on-point fire on Matador's Rukus earlier this summer, Fabio rolls out another profound, entrancing and vast excursion: 'Pulsar' sees Florido fluctuating, folding and unfolding in his deepest mind state as two sinewy acid tendrils entwine and unravel through a deep undulating bass groove with compelling effect. 'Connection' subverts this entirely in classic Fabio style; upping the tempo, texture and terse sense of momentum, the acid bedrock buzzes like a hornets nest as more percussive layers and sweeping alien FX soar and scorch across the spectrum building with a breath-taking state of contemporary techno oblivion. Finally Fabio brings us back down to reality with 'Underneath'. A warm, measured groove brushed with grainy chords, a palpitating bass/kick fusion, tense percussive elements and a slinky naked acid line flexing and arching throughout the centre of the composition; it's a perfect counter that brings both his icy minimalism and evergreen sense of momentum together in way all his best EPs manage to do. Get connected.
