Gábor Lázár - Unfold

[Richie Sombrero]

He is a top lad.

[Nil]

Just wanted to emphasize of the few unreleased bits are beyond incredible.  He seems to have found the perfect balance between sharp and inventive sound-design and melodic / dancefloor efficiency.

ok. he's good

I guess we'll get a new ep by the end of the year !

[sweepstakes]

Late to the party as usual, but this album is nice!!

[Nil]

He's playing in Saint Etienne, France on 11/8 (nice festival, along Aisha Devi, Zuli and Iueke, to name my faves), and I've just read an interview in which he mentions currently testing new LP material in his live set : anyone else going ? I just can't wait, he's become one of my very favorite producers.

[Jafs]

Maybe I'm going there, after triangulating the delta.

new Gabor Lazar track on the adult swim / ghostly compilation

http://www.adultswim.com/music/ghostly-swim-3/

[Nil]

... and it sounds wicked. Oh boy I can't wait for anything new from him to drop, I 'm a total fanboy. His exclusive live material is mental.

[d-a-m-o]

yes, same thing, this guy is the bomb.

[BoomTssPhace]

Brostep wobbles used for good instead of evil, i love it. Didn't he make his own wavetable for this? Such rich textures all around, and Repeater is absolute dance floor demolition. Big fan of how the typefaces match the tone of each song. Also he is a CUTIE PIE 

[Nil]

His upcoming LP is getting mastered today (source : his most recent Instagram story).... most anticipated release of the year as far as I’m concerned !

Yes, same thing, instabuy incoming.

[Nil]

Yeah, at least 3 new tracks (a couple of early versions are at the end of his Boiler Room set). They sounded beyond incredible, like Detroit Electro/Techno from the year 4000.

[d-a-m-o]

If mastering is happening today, then I guess album release spring 2020 ? 

[species8472]

this is exciting news. definitely on my most anticipated list. bring on this and a lanark artefax full length.

[Nil]

I tend to consider Lanark Artefax's live recording as an LP... sorta. I do agree with you though, definitely.

Depending on the label releasing it, GL's LP can drop anytime, but somewhere from 3 to 6 months is reasonable. Now give me the album already 

[YangYing]

hadn't heard this before, very fun excite for more

[d-a-m-o]

Hey @Nil have you noticed his last post on insta ? pictures of a video call with mike paradinas 

Come on @Bambi ! spill the beans ! new Gabor Lazar on Planet Mu or what ?

[Nil]

@d-a-m-o yup ! And it’d make perfect sense. Fuck I’m sooooo impatient !

Mike ?

[Muflontillah]

I don´t know a thing about him but looks like I am getting this...

 

[sun drugs]

Yeah hanging out for this one too. Unfold was a gem but you could tell it was the beginning of hopefully, a brilliant new direction for him and the adult swim comp tune is mad. The Boiler room tracks are good too, got me excited here haha. Anyone know if this is also going to be on the Death of Rave label? hope so

Those Reaktor synths just sound so fat and heavy on a system and he uses them tastefully, could very easily be quite obnoxious.
if he is getting masters this week as quickest I'd say it might be 3 months before vinyl is out. I got masters back for a record this week and its due late April / May but I don't really do any promo and hardly tour so not sure what kinda PR/promo and whatnot some bigger artists/labels do that adds to delay times. 
Tho it seems like there might be a vinyl delay worldwide, sorta waiting on that confirmation, could mean we get a lot less vinly this year but itd also be pretty sweet cause release times might be sped up a whole lot! I can get around that

[Nil]

Though, imo, vinyl isn’t as relevant (as a medium) as hi-res digital files for such tunes.

Even if it’s pretty obvious that something like Razor is part of his palette, I’d love to see / read about his studio process.

@sun drugs do you mind sharing your releasing alias, I’d love to have a listen. Thanks !

[sun drugs]

Yeah i would too, would love to see his pre-Unfold setup and workflow with presumably max and see some of the patches he and Mark Fell used for that record. Would be very interested too. Totally love these guys like Lazar, Fell, Rian Treanor and Errorsmith who heavily rely on a few bits of gear but use them inside and out, its quite cool and refreshing seeing people push the gear to its limits.

yeah here is my soundcloud. made a little playlist with a few tunes that I attempted a Lazar / Fell style patches, got some great results i think.
I'll probably take this down soon, sending a few of these around to hopefully get released before I dump them on my own bandcamp

 

[Nil]

Man they sound glorious on my phone, looking forward to listen to these on my monitors... so wait a few days before taking them down. I’ll definitely buy a copy.
