LAB004 Picpoul: The Feeling EP

Format: Vinyl

Labyrinth Records presents a release from mysterious London-based producer Picpoul. A distinct talent that has an abundance of experience producing dance music, and displays his genre-defying studio prowess here with a huge club three-tracker entitled ‘The Feeling’ EP.

Stepping off the precipice with the colossal title track ‘The Feeling’, where Picpoul flexes a distinct ability for crafting mind-altering sounds presented with a unique harmony amongst a super-tight arrangement. Funky clavinet chords swell across a splashing breakbeat with interjections of throbbing synth bass and nano-slivers of vocals diced in for good measure. The pinnacle of ‘The Feeling’ comes via a monumental build-up where vocoder vocals and cascading breaks amass at a critical point. 'The Feeling' is a track with a grungy bassline and rolling breaks that should appeal to the heads but equally has a vibrancy and sparkle that genuinely has crossover potential in the mainstream. For this reason, the EP includes an extended version and radio edit.

‘BSP’, on the flip, takes a techier approach, where Picpoul's love for breakbeats continues with glitching effects and a clear nod to the forefathers of Jungle music with a swelling 808 bassline throughout. A multitude of interlocking polyrhythms pan out towards a breakdown of time-stretching vocals, warping SFX, and shimmering percussion.

Picpoul plants his foot firmly on the scene with ‘The Feeling (Radio Edit), to land on Labyrinth Records on November 26th and then followed with the full release coming out on January 28th 2022 with vinyl.
