VLEK 027EP
|
After his LP on Hivern Discs, Music For Documentaries, Brussels-based producer Lawrence Le Doux returns to Vlek for his next offering, Host. And what a project it has become: Le Doux, heads first, dived deep into the Belgian national history of electronic music, and came up with a sampler covering the various fields the Belgians. From digi-dub over simple drum computer house to one-man industrial cassettes, Host has it all. Lawrence Le Doux opened for Matias Aguayo in one of Brussels's major venues: Ancienne Belgique. VLEK designer Dimitri Runkkarri's provides an analog type press/glass printing process for the sleeve.

VLEK 021EP
|
Lawrence le Doux returns to Belgium's Vlek label following 2014's Terrestre 12" (VLEK 016EP) with four tracks of playful, hauntologically-minded electronica and techno. The mesmerizing loops and analog gyre of "Floor" ensnare the listener and neatly segue into "Liquide," on which a sublime mist of gentle hiss settles over unworldly synths and a metronomic beat. "Pollution" deploys a meandering melody to simple yet devastating effect before giving way to scattergun metallic percussion. The organic, bass-led "Story" is a beatless coda that exemplifies the EP's sense of nostalgia for the future. Eight-pass letterpressed sleeve designed by Dimitri Runkkari. Edition of 300.

VLEK 016EP
|
Four house- and techno-inspired dancefloor tracks from Lawrence La Doux, a Brussels producer who has released under various aliases over the years. This four-track 12" EP for Vlek shapes styles until the distortion the artist forces upon them passes from the uncomfortable to the pleasant. "Afruita" features a steady, pulsing rhythm with a sun-soaked melodic line. "Astre" is just as steady but mellower. "Chorus" features the interplay between a steady four-to-the-floor kick and a bouncing bass. "Terre" concludes the EP with angular, twisted chords that shine bright one moment and disappear in a fog of filter the next.
