DOWNLOAD: Jacopo Carreras - Olanto

Jacopo Carreras is not an artist who relishes the standard 4x4 structure and elements common to so many techno releases. In fact, he seems more content to smash and rearrange those strictures to create something else entirely. Educated at Royal Conservatory of the Hague and with a long history of experimental musical interests, Carreras uses home made software to turn listeners' expectations on their heads for Berlin's Lan Music. Tunes such as "Olanto" take straight ahead techno a la Carl Craig and cuts trapdoors in the rhythms through which bleeps poke their heads. By contrast, the vertiginous shifting of "Gamoolosi" calls to mind Aphex Twin lost in a band's practice space, clattering and battering listeners at breakneck speeds. Electronic music fans who are more into the journey than the groove should dip their toes and ears into the bewildering world of Jacopo Carreras, whose debut album, From Bed to Couch, drops later this year.
