             microcastle's fourth offering of 2022 welcomes Adrian Roman to 
             the label for his debut EP. Born and raised in Spain, Adrian has 
             quickly emerged from his country's avant-garde electronic music 
             landscape. Noted for his attention to detail, arcane musicality 
             and inventive drum arrangements, Adrian's craft shines through 
             vividly, making each one of his creations an absorbing 
             experience. A 2021 debut on ISOLATE foreshadowed what has been a 
             breakout year for the fast-rising phenom. A string of 
             well-received projects for MoBlack, Radikon and Melodic Diggers 
             Equanimity imprint have yielded play from Dixon, Fideles, 
             Frankey & Sandrino, Innellea, Toto Chiavetta and Trikk. Now 
             continuing on this explorative path, Adrian makes his 
             microcastle debut with a four-track showcase entitled 
             'Disturbing the Perception'. 

             Played by Jimi Jules across the summer season, EP opener and 
             title selection 'Disturbing the Perception' finds Adrian 
             composing with a strong sense of space. With each sound being an 
             event in a slowly expanding landscape, zooming out to reveal a 
             world of scale in which depth and contrast coax perfectly with 
             rhythm and melody. This indie-tinged, mood lifting excursion 
             smoothly transfers energy into selection two, the thought 
             provoking, therapeutic experience that is 'Aeren'. Thematically 
             distinct, as Adrian's vocals ring out in timeless suspension, 
             over a utopian narrative in which potent drum patterns and 
             soulful synth phrasing resonate with a rare combination of hope, 
             heartache and reflection. 

             Meanwhile, 'Snare Receptor' shifts Adrian's modus operandi into 
             one of electronic futurism, an eclectic approach that honors the 
             wide musical scope he is most interested in. Building with a 
             subdued pulse, its smoky resonance eventually gives way to 
             capricious drum experimentation, where textural and structural 
             dimensions blanket clustered snares and prophetic drones, 
             ultimately resulting in a profound mood setting experience. The 
             Spaniard's molecular level of detail shines on EP closer and 
             showcase piece 'Lady Hester'. A titanic main room assault where 
             tightly knit industrial rhythms chug mechanically against 
             dissonant synth blasts and crunchy melodica, for a thunderous 
             collection-closing dance floor escapade.
