This April sees the return of Decay Records with the ‘Golden Gate Sampler 2’ featuring two original tracks from Michael L Penman and Scott Kemp and remixes from Igor Vicente and Sascha Dive.
Decay Records was launched in late 2013 and over its now twelve releases has unleashed material from the likes of Jay Tripwire, Alex Arnout, Ed Davenport and Franck Roger. Here the label pushes on with part two of its ‘Golden Gate Sampler’ series, welcoming Ovum / M-nus artist Michael L Penman and Mobilee / Hypertone’s Scott Kemp onto the roster.
Michael L Penman’s ‘Lazy Boy’ opens up proceedings on a dark and hypnotic tip with dreamy pad lines, modulating bass tones and weighty distorted rhythms. Belgium’s Igor Vicente reworks ‘Lazy Boy’ next and provides a more reduced take on things with sparse percussive elements and menacing atmospheres.
On the flip side Scott Kemp turns in ‘Sirma’, a subtly unfolding groove-led number built around stripped rhythms and soft synth flourishes, while Sascha Dive rounds off the package by reshaping ‘Sirma’ into a brooding, seven-minute mesmeric workout.
The Michael L Penman / Scott Kemp ‘Golden Gate Sampler 2’ is out on Decay Records 20th April 2015.
