[ ::.. RELEASE NOTES ..:: ]
............................

Hailing from Lyon, the French artist has been releasing his 
brand of melodic techno since 2016. While Sheeva Records served 
as the vehicle for his debut releases, Lugubre has since gone on 
to showcase his music with Guava, Trak Mix and Esprits Croises. 
A good portion of his music in recent years has been made 
available through free downloads, one most notably with Sweet 
Music. Now embarking on the most anticipated project of his 
career, Lugubre begins 2021 with his Eat My Hat debut 'Animah'.

Beginning with the title selection Lugubre explores his melodic 
techno roots with a dark and groovy creation that's sure to get 
your dance floor moving. Waves of rippling bass power the 
foundation while astral arps and buzzing effects surround the 
framework. Moving towards the main break, driving percussion and 
ethereal themes advance the narrative, perfectly setting up a 
captivating centrepiece that is both tense and emotive. Tasteful 
modulation creates an air of anticipation, before a flurry of 
drums sparks a commanding drop and powerful finale.

'Before The Storm' follows with a further lean towards astral 
techno territory. Dark and mystical from the outset, its rugged 
groove gets complemented with fiery percussion and electric 
rhythms. The journey shifts into emotive territory as smooth 
chord changes flow through the foundation, eventually melting 
down into a dramatic break. Cosmic arps, striking effects and 
timely bass swells make for an engaging interlude, perfectly 
setting up a heady final movement.

Rounding out the release is 'Blue Like Orange' which finds 
Lugubre exploring another unique amalgamation of progressive 
house and techno. Deeper and more emotive than its predecessors, 
it's growling low end and spacious framework provide the perfect 
foundation for a series of fluttery arps and poignant overlays 
to work their magic across the seven-minute journey. Reflective 
in mood, it puts the perfect cap on an outstanding Eat My Hat 
debut for Lugubre. Highly recommended.
