gated Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Our newest release is the rather lovely EP from Canadian musician Dopefist. Here's the official skinny: Following two stand-out cuts on recent Mindcolor Music and Touched Electronix compilations, Mike "Dopefist" Verde makes his full EP debut for Gated. Across six tracks, the Canadian native showcases music that dips and sweeps with life-affirming electronic goodness. This is music for the head and the heart, celebrating the magic found in unrepeatable details, a studio full of warm analogue synths, and classic drum machines. Verde records all his tracks in one take, emphasizing the element of improvisation, pushing his boxes to the limit to create woozy off-kilter jams. Taking influences from the likes of AFX's Analord series, Ceephax's United Acid Emirates, and Bochum Welt, this is an unmissable debut: picturesque, dreamy, and utterly unique. Quite proud of this one -- we worked hard on it. And Mike is such a perfectionist he wanted the release to be as good as it could be. Hope you enjoy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gated Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Looks like the vinyl might be delayed by a week or two. Really hoping not, chasing the pressing plant... but if it's not delivered by Thursday this week we'll need to put it back... urgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gated Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Preorders finally up on Blerp, where they seem to have confused it with our last release by Goldefish. It's Dopefist, guys, not Dopefish. https://bleep.com/release/156020-dopefish-nice-dreams Edited November 11, 2019 by gated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
