{"product_id":"bfdnl027","title":"Lapalux - When You're Gone","description":"\u003cp\u003eStuart Howard aka Lapalux has come up with something special for his \r\nfirst release with Cali’s finest, Brainfeeder. Having made his name with\r\n his \u003cem\u003eMany Faces Out Of Focus\u003c\/em\u003e EP and acclaimed bootlegs and \r\nremixes he returns with a seven track EP of such poise and beauty, one \r\nlisten is enough to know you’re onto something special. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLapalux  bathes your brain in lush textures, surprising and explosive \r\natmospheres set in unencountered, unearthly spaces, all somehow \r\nperfectly set against catchy rolling choruses informed by pop and \r\ncommercial R\u0026amp;B. On the \u003cem\u003eWhen You’re Gone\u003c\/em\u003e EP he channels and refines\r\n his sound and shapes it into hazy, woozy emotion. Whether working with a\r\n singer like Py (on “Moments”), or deconstructing found samples and his \r\nown voice, Howard stretches, bends and warps sound to make soul – not \r\nplastic posturing but real emotion made of synthetic sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2012 is sure to be Lapalux’s break-through year. As well as his \r\nforthcoming releases for Brainfeeder, Howard is increasingly in demand \r\nas a remix artist (Fink, Mirrors, Bonobo, TEED Speech Debelle). XLR8R \r\nhave just included 2 Lapalux tracks in their top 100 of the year. And if\r\n the raised cameraphones at his Plastic People show with Kutmah, Flying \r\nLotus and Martyn are anything to go by, his live set is pretty \r\nimpressive too…. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Like the R\u0026amp;B of another time and place, transmitted from an unknown\r\n planet in a distant galaxy into the mind of a wildly creative sound \r\ndesigner.” \u003c\/em\u003e– XLR8R \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Fans of the Kimbies, James Blake’s ‘CMYK’, Four Tet, Bibio, FlyLo, \r\nMatthewdavid, Onra, Debruit and all those guys – meet your new favourite\r\n producer.“\u003c\/em\u003e – Boomkat \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Lapalux is probably one of the finest producers out there at the moment” \u003c\/em\u003e– Oli Marlow, Sonic Router \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The Barry White of electronica.”\u003c\/em\u003e – Errol Anderson, The Independent\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninjatune","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":44934233260191,"sku":"BF027","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Japan Ltd.
