RP - SCHARNHORST006 [Scharnhorst]

Format: 12" vinyl only.
CAT: scharnhorst006

RP returns to one of his regular stops, the Scharnhorst label, with two new minimalist reinterpretations. His sixth release reflects a carefree attitude and a sense of humor, approaching the use of popular music samples in a free way and without too many rules, as the label owners usually describe it.

In other words, and in this case, the track that opens the EP, "3", finds RP reinterpreting Imogen Heap's classic "Hide And Seek" with a much more propulsive approach. The original version stands out for the strength of its vocal layers processed with a vocoder and practically invites revisiting and reinvention again and again. RP accepts the challenge, providing a minimalist impulse and a sense of constant progress that is surprisingly effective.

On the other hand, "J1" reuses the vocals of a song whose origin remains a mystery to us, but still manages to captivate thanks to its folktronica-inspired percussion, delicate rhythmic hits, and light guitar arpeggios, all integrated into a minimalist structure of a progressive nature.
