A30 by Les

ACEN 003 is the sophomore outing from South London producer Les (The last time we visit South London for a while!). Les’s initial offering is “A30”, two introspective cuts that see the producer wear his heart on his sleeve and hold his drums close to his chest.

The first track “A30” opens with the little more than the tracks staple synth accompanied by some floating percussion - creating a hazy, disorientating atmosphere. Seemingly out of nowhere the track launches into a body of lush synth chords and rolling drum lines, taking listeners on a journey through Les’s spacey sonic world.

“F Troop” continues with the palette established on the records title track, with rolling percussion and potent chords coupling up with heavy FX. At around the one minute mark the introduction breaks up and leaves the listener with just a bare synth. From this point “F Troop” gradually unfolds into abrasive floorfiller featuring a counterpoint between two brooding melodies, punctuated with samples from the “F Troop”

A30 is available across all platforms the 23rd of November.
