Lerosa
's fourth full-length,
Catena
, is also his second for Berlin-via-LA label Acid Test. It sees the Dublin-based producer once again draw deeply on his diverse influences -- dub, industrial, electro, trance, funk, IDM -- and transform them into a sound signature that has always been uniquely his own. This alchemy is no accident. Rather it is driven by Lerosa's ongoing pursuit of the fundamental meaning of dance music: to immerse ourselves in sound to the point where our only desire is to move and feel in the moment. Hence how, on
Catena
, the slow and sensual sway of a cavernous bit of dub can sit side-by-side with hands-up trance-like ecstasy, and all still sound like Lerosa. This achievement is the result of a dedicated daily studio practice. Each track starts from a dynamic studio jam in which Lerosa plays drum machines and synthesizers live and then overdubs them with further modulated layers. He uses looping techniques to build up the density of certain instruments while mixing the layers on-the-fly, using something as unassuming as an iPad. This imbues each track with a spontaneous shifting quality that defines the entire album. What comes through is a sound that speaks of Lerosa's love for the studio, for the tangible substance of an audio frequency -- analog and digital, raw and processed, pure and saturated -- and the intangible, indeed bewitching mystery of how these frequencies can transport you to other places.
