Folding Spaces EP III out now

Niche techno label Folding Spaces are pleased to present  their third EP, ‘Folding Spaces III’, curated by pioneering electronic download store Digital Tunes and freshly premièred on Magnetic Magazine.

First on the bill is Portuguese DJ/producer PeteBlas, real name Pedro dos Reis, whose influences range from the Detroit and German dub techno arenas to Lisbon’s underground scene. 

Next up is Roundhouse Kick, the moniker of Adriana Lourinho and Igor Inácio, a couple from the Algarve with a fixation on experimenting with hardware synths and drum-machines, whose 2012  début release  'Arm1X’  earned acclaim from the likes of  Jackmaster  and Daniel Avery. Also featuring on the release is Osti M, aka Max Wilde - founder and resident DJ of London/Norwich club night 808 - whose track ‘Workout’ is exemplary of his raw yet soulful machine jams.

He’s followed by Mharia, the semi-secret alias of one of last year's most celebrated new artists of inventive techno. 

The two final contributions come from Parisian DJ/producer Voiron, whose sound sits somewhere between early Warp releases and the stark machine funk of Aphex Twin's Rephlex imprint. ‘Itinéris’ is a great example of ethereal electronic funk, and is reworked by compelling performer Legowelt, aka Danny Wolfers, whose unique style lies in an unfaltering devotion to hardware and veers from dense techno to whizzing electro, deep electronic and sounds for which there isn't even a name yet.
