Pergola presents Zed

Exploring hypnotic, emotionally charged melodies and vast techno breakdowns, the title track opens up the EP with a strong sense of mystery. Suspenseful strings build in anticipation as the bassline filters in intensity, this deep space offering is the perfect example of a tune fit for the club as well as headphone listening.

"Freak" is a beautifully intense piece featuring soft synths marked by subtle scratches, a feel-good vocal, and the catchy strum of a guitar. "Zed" is then given the Curses treatment, the Optimo Music, Bordello a Parigi and Correspondant artist amplifies its retro feel resulting in nine minutes of pure dark disco hedonism. Closing out the release is an ambient collaboration between Pergola and Luigi Sambuy, "Tunnel" is an ode to the early days of IDM through to the ‘70s.

"Zed" marks the third release on Lele Sacchi & Asian Fake’s Stolen Goods Records and follows up their widely acclaimed "Volume 0" compilation as well as the recent collaborative EP between Black Loops & Innocent Soul. Since its launch last summer, the label has seen the support of artists like Dixon, Sasha, DJ Seinfeld, and DJ Sneak and has garnered plays on prestigious stations like NTS and BBC Radio 1.

The imprint continues its strong start to the year with three new tracks from the hyper-talented Pergola: a newcomer to the scene who’s already listed on labels such as Multinotes, Sementa, and Adriatique’s Siamese, the latter which saw him reach number one on Beatport’s Electronica chart.
