Fleksebleco by Pheek

Lover of all sounds eccentric, and Archipel Musique founder Pheek steps in to Spring with a exemplary body of work in the form of his “Fleksebleco” album. A true master of his craft showcasing a spectrum of discerning sounds continuing to strain boundaries as he moves, wandering elegantly between stripped back structures and techno leaning rhythms. A ten track journey of escapism which will see the light of day on the 20th March via the Archipel Bandcamp.

Immersing you immediately into the atmospheric energy of this body of work is “Nootka”, Pheek enticing you into the experience you are about to endure. The fascinating “Pecaut Square” utilises off kilter drum patterns and shimmering synths to draw you in further. An irresistible elasticated groove carries “Fonyo” as quirky elements continue to spiral throughout. “Hajimemashite” is laced with splashes of acid which meld with the mysterious simmering tones we all love and adore from Pheek. A trip within itself is the track “Sophus” intriguing movements as the trippy voices begin to speak in a language you do not know but somehow understand.

Dusty broken drums lead the way in “Foolsteps”, the pensive hypnotic loops are intelligent and gripping, on a similar tip is the mind massage that goes by the name of “Newts”. The obscure energy of “Daffy” will certainly be a hit for the tastemakers amongst us, chugging progressively throughout. Disembark on another quest of brain bending business in “Strigidae” the penultimate track of this stellar album. Last but not least “Evanescent” brings us down for landing, the crisp drums becoming at one with the beautiful ethereal textures which lay before you.

With a multi decade spanning career behind him and a back catalogue extending further than the imagination Pheek strives to offer innovative music to his audience and beyond, always looking to offer something new and original, “Fleksebleco” captures exactly that.

Jean-Patrice Rémillard aka Pheek, a native of Montreal, is known for his career as a live electronic musician, his label Archipel and for his audio services engineering studio. He evolves in a subtle amalgam of dub, microhouse and ambient, without ever completely falling into one style or the other. There he cultivates a sound maturity of his own and returns to live improvisation.
