Riding on the success of their debut release, Plexus return in the shape of label-boss SCARPER's "Unfurl EP". Favouring infectious melodies & simple grooves, Unfurl is a piece of work which rewards the listener with a warm & deep sound, lending itself to being heard beginning to end. It's finished off by a remix from Halftribe (Apollo/R&S Records). Last year Italo-disco luminaries "Piatto" picked up his electro-tech track "Hydromancer" for their legendary 'N.O.I.A.' imprint, which gained him such fans as Umek & Marco Bailey. With "Unfurl", Scarper showcases a lighter, more melodic side with a touch of nostalgia reminiscent of early 90's electronica & ambient-techno. Building slowly around 808 State-esque chords & analogue lead & bass, the EP gets off to an uplifting start with "Surfing the Cosmic Belt" a colourful, melodic electro track full of fluttery FX & atmospheric noises. "New Blue Noon" continues on a similar vibe but this time a steady disco beat drives along while hypnotic melodies sparkle & shimmer around it. A live favourite, "Bubblecloud" bursts with elating energy & conjures up images of sunsoaked, smiley festival goers settling into the party spirit. A bouncy bassline sits warmly under catchy, floaty synths & 303-acid lines. On "Arabesque", Scarper creates a harmonious, multi-layered sound spanning from organic background textures to dreamy bells & seamless synth melodies. The last original track on the EP is the beautiful "Wavellite" which slows things down to pure ambience. Lush, emotive chords throb & wobble whilst distant atmospheric washes trickle around them. Signed to highly regarded R&S sub-label Apollo Records, rising ambient star Halftribe supplies a remix for "Bubblecloud". Record Label: Plexus Style: Dance
