Eight years since their inaugural release, Mexico City-based record label Discos Sentimiento issue ‘Atlas’ LP from Pedro Ceñal Murga, better known as superplasticfantastic.
Mastered by Diego Arturo Castañeda, ‘Atlas‘ marks the debut solo release from Murga, a producer whose sound design anchors a sprawling, world-class sonic architecture. Across 9-tracks, the album encapsulates a tapestry of rhythms, navigating the gravitational pull of the dancefloor with a seamless fusion of neo-dancehall lullabies, drum & bass, Balearic house and the tensile power of techno.
Our pick from the album is ‘Kabur‘. Spanning over 6-minutes, the track unfolds as a beguiling journey across the planet’s edge, melding the pulse of neo-dancehall rhythms with a spectral wash of distant echoes and mind-warping arpeggios. The midsection provides a momentary reprieve, a serene interlude that anchors the listener before dissolving into a cloud of ultra-filtered, dub-inflected atmospheres. This tension gradually builds, crescendoing into a surging vortex of psyched-out oscillations, sending waves of sonic disarray rippling like astroparticles.
‘Atlas’ LP was scheduled for release 14 November via Discos Sentimiento. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
