Abajour

Chlamydia Dell’Arte Records emerges from the raves of the same name thrown in Paris until 2019. The label intends to reflect that spirit: stylistically wide open, built on unexpected turns, hypnotic sounds, and crafted for the dancefloor. Its first release is a two-track EP by Abajour.

The A-side is stripped and deliberate. A skeletal breakbeat forms the backbone of Pandemonium (Breakbeat Version); its character comes as much from its silences and spaces as from its rhythm. Samples enter like interruptions, pushing the groove into a hypnotic cycle that holds tension while allowing release.

On the AA-side the focus shifts towards the hazy edges of trance and house. Driven by its rolling bass and drum breaks, the track maintains a high energy house pace while a darker flow runs through it. MS 45 (Get Bent Version) is an invitation to a nocturnal walk through the gritty streets of early 80s New York.
The initial idea was born in a jam session with the producer and friend Zadeh; another version of the track featuring them to be released soon.
