SEM SONO by MARTINELLI

MNR#07 MARTINELLI - SEM SONO

For the 7th release in MAMBAREC we are excited to introduce the artist Martinelli in his debut EP "SEM SONO" (SLEEPLESS).

Martinelli is the electronic alias of Henrique Martinelli, a young producer currently based in São Paulo. Through the use of synthesizers and drum machines and drawing from a wide spectrum of colors and timbers that manage to mix his main influences ranging from breakbeat to techno, to electro and even a little garage, Martinelli cooks up a raw and erratic sound filled with restless and provocative energy.

There's a characteristically coarse trait exuding from "SEM SONO" that brings forth the producer´s obsession for digging deep into the classic machinery associated with electronic music production, such as the 303, 808, 909, DX7, whilst imparting them with a newly found sense of contemporary raggedness, a kind of resignification that manages to throw the familiar into torn territories.

The A-side kicks off with two rugged electro numbers fit for dancefloor carnage that lead to the more skeletal and techno oriented "Constant Movement" while the B-side gets rolling with the breakbeat-flavored “Rude” followed by the acidic and teeth grinding “Not in da Mood" taking us all the way to the gloomy and impenetrable rendition that is the closer “NOISEY”.
