Based in Graz, Austria, producer and audio engineer Lorenz Häusler introduces his debut EP titled "Tabula Rasa" under the alias Kheodor Turner. Drawing inspiration from the iconic sounds of the late 80s and early 90s with a unique percussive sensibility, this EP is a natural and skillful fusion of the past and present.
The opening track, "Baba," blends elements of Big Beat with Tropical overtones, while seamlessly incorporating rhythmic patterns reminiscent of traditional Middle Eastern music. Its pulsating measures are complemented by lively harmonic motifs and snappy vocal chops, which are a common theme throughout the EP.
In "Origin," Häusler pays homage to 90s Hip House with a distinctive Balearic twist. Infused with an array of iconic samples, the track exudes an infectious bounce that honours the spirit of classic dance music.
Closing out the release, "Rai" fuses modern production with a playful sense of nostalgia. The listener is treated to an engaging interplay of melancholic chords, impactful basslines and intricate percussive details.
