Within the space of five years, Parisian label Antinote has steadily grown as one of the most dependable and versatile labels out there, one that you can follow with your eyes closed no matter the terrain they’re looking to explore next: be it a balearic suntrap, vanguard italo-techno detours or further scopious stretches of pop-friendly ballads and slanted electronics.
Cleverly mangling all notion of genre as it keeps discovering itself through particularly elective affinities, the multi-faceted French imprint celebrate their five year anniversary with a red-letter compilation that nicely arrays its broad scope of contributors – from DK’s ravishing organic house via Iueke’s primitive techno onto the daydreaming new-wave’y naïveté of Domenique Dumont, whilst also disclosing a few hints at future releases (Natsukashii, The Simplists).
Streaming in full through our channels, Leonardo Martelli ‘03 23 (Notte)‘ is a brakeless lo-fi electro bomb changing through the various shades of the rainbow. Breaking through a tight corridor at full pelt, halfway heart-rending nostalgia and the promise of a brighter future, the track pulsates and soars betwixt revving breaks motifs and a murmuration of tear-jerking synth arpeggios. You’ll get back to it, again and again, with the same intact enthusiasm. Killer!
Five Years Of Loving Notes is released via Antinote on June, order a vinyl copy from their webshop or a digital copy from Bandcamp.
