KOM 383EP
|
A staple of the Los Angeles house and techno scene, Alexandre Mouracade has released under his real name and the alias of Sonns, and alongside Travis Kirschbaum as Split Secs. Mouracade revives his Sonns moniker with Tame for a three-track mixture of sun basking grooves, foot-shuffling rhythms, and luscious vocals courtesy of Beesh. Setting things in hypnotic motion, the title-track oozes an inviting synthesis of early morning flavors and flowery summer scents. The revolving, train-like pulse of "Across The Pond" then further weaves heady kaleidoscopic motifs before Marvin & Guy take over the flip to add their inimitable touch.

Now a household name in the Los Angeles underground dance milieu, Alexandre Mouracade's DJ sets as Sonns carry the influences of a life lived with the sounds of NEU!, Tones on Tail, and Arthur Russell -- a genre-bending bricolage ranging from punk-infused club serenades to multi-colored synth riffs -- and his studio sessions routinely fuse vintage analog equipment with digital synths, guitar pedals, and field recordings. This expertise heavily informs the tightly woven "Teacher," which comes in a propelling "Danse Version" and as pop-indebted original, and also features the rich and silky vocals of "Tobias Buch" (The Late Great Fitzcarraldos).
