<p>Three years of beavering sees Pridon present his latest venture into
ecclectic soulful techno.</p>
<p>While retaining the warm character and trademark sound design of his
previous works, with ‘Apnea Eina’, Pridon’s flair for ‘all seasons on
one disc’ is bolstered by a deeper confidence and understanding in
bringing about a cohesive journey of a record. Techno, electro, <span class="caps">IDM</span>,
dub and even traces of 70s psychedelia have found their way into this
little monster of an album and Pridon’s signature shifting and mutating
like a restless creature is a rare joy to behold. However, although this
album has accessible moments in abundance, be careful: a choir of mad
synths or the atonal bleeps of Pan himself might come out of nowhere and
turn
everything into a psychedelic space-jam. But even when the mouth of
chaos opens up and all synth-trickery breaks loose, ‘Apnea Eina’ never
strays off focus.</p>
<p>As much as improvisation plays a large part in Pridon’s processes, and
this album provides no exception, it’s also a wondrous embodiment of
electronica’s quintessential elements: gratifying breaks and basslines.
This work took three years in the making and needless to say, we are extremely proud to present it!</p>
