> Notes:

Following an enchanting inaugural offering from German

electronica outfit Ameli Paul back in April, burgeoning

Berlin-based imprint MEIOSIS now returns for its eagerly

anticipated sophomore outing, welcoming Juan Hansen and Pablo

Bursztyn - a.k.a. Forma - for another mesmerising label debut.

A stunningly crafted four-part package, replete with hypnotic

modular soundscapes, ethereal toplines and succulent analogue

experimentation, Hollow EP is the first extended body of work to

be released from the Buenos Aires-based outfit, and comes complete

with a brace of eclectic remixes from esteemed house producers

Nandu and Santiago Garcia.

Christening the release with the

evocative title track Hollow, Juan and Pablo make their intentions

known from the off, as they take the listener on an emotive and

harmonic smoke-screened journey accented by warped synthesisers,

haunting vocals and a playful mixture of subdued four-four beats

and elastic rhythmic triplets. Toying with aural imperfections and

melodic disarray throughout, Forma's work honours emotional

ambiguity and harmonic dissonance, cultivating a sound that can be

equally euphoric as it can be melancholic.

Within this ambiguity, Forma find a place to liberate themselves from

instrumental boundaries, creating landscapes that value

coincidence, intriguing sound choices and a degree of sonic

unpredictability. The second original, Everytime, portrays an

unusual kind of music that will, in its abstract layers and

polyphonic structures, balance both the familiar and the surreal.

Combining disputatious organ chords with avant-garde vocoders and

arpeggiated instrumentation, Juan's electronic sound experience

merges with the experimental spirit of Pablo's musical quest to

create an eclectic journey that exhausts one mood at a time.

The flip sees the introduction of two of the most exciting

producers on the underground house circuit, as Nandu and Santiago

Garcia each step up to deliver their own unique interpretations of

the formidable title track. First up to the plate is

Argentinian-born, Valencia-based Garcia. Following a wealth of

critically lauded releases on the likes of Innervisions, TAU and

Exit Strategy over the past few years, the classically-trained

producer digs deep to deliver the artier, more introspective of

the two remixes, before handing the reigns to iconic Danish

stalwart, Nandu, who closes out the remarkable package with a

deep, melodic dancefloor groove, primed for the early hours.

This seminal EP release follows Forma's remarkable recent live

performance for venerated Montreal-based digital festival MUTEK.

Always expanding its limits to subvert the expectations of the

listeners, this spellbinding live show was in fact the first

presentation of the Hollows EP project and marked the premiere of

the four songs to be released on July 16. Check out the full live

performance.
