REPLETE – Kilkenny electronica
What you may need to know…
01. Replete is Kilkenny-based electronic composer Peter Lawlor, releasing material through American techno label Always Human.
02. Having been on the scene in some capacity or other for a few years now (your writer seems to remember streaming some old stuff on ye olde Drop-d.ie), it comes as a surprise that his first physical release only occurred recently, compiling some older material with an EP’s worth of fresh kill.
03. The (fairly amusingly-monikered) Zizek at the Discotheque is streaming now from Always Human Tapes’ Bandcamp page, premiering this week on The Thin Air.
04. As the label’s name might suggest, it’s available for download and purchase (plus shipping from the States!) on cassette.
Thoughts: No-nonsense beats and pieces from a consistent producer who’ll hopefully finally get his dues in 2017.
Don’t get it Mike. What am I supposed to like in this?
You *May* Like This. A title coined by Bodger that definitely covers all ground in terms of subjective opinion, to be fair.
So you can’t even be bothered to sell it to me? Some promoter you are
I found it drab and unimaginative even for ‘experimental electronica’ but sure everyone to their own. Also ‘your writer’? Come on now Michael
Not a fan of the first-person in explainers or other formal(ish) writing contexts. Personal writing and such, though? Absolutely.
You’re an insatiable bell end in fairness.
Bit harsh on someone using the editorial ‘we:, no?
Experimental?
…thought it was nice myself, but not particularly experimental……
Honestly find most strains of electronic music indistinguishable but this was relaxing and chill and fairly pleasant.
Hardly original. Derived from the derivative more like…
Soslong as that brass sampe has been cleared for use from that episode of Ironside its allgood
I’ve had ‘Wait for You’ by Replete on my phone for years and will check this release out, hope this guy continues his rise.
Deadly sounds.
Replete has many a string to his bow sound , more abstract layered hip hop in past, had him support an act in that vein few years back (kelpe) , kudos for taking on a different direction when could’ve not, digging it
