Premiere: Audioglider – Cortexaphan

Drifting, blissed out electronics...

Electronic music tends to focus on rather more abrasive aspects.

Think of grime's inherent physicality, for example, or even the glitchy, metallic end of techno.

Some producers, though, use machines to soothe. Audioglider – real name Roberto Sodano – specialises in long, sensual tracks which absorb and entrance.

Obvious name checks would include Boards of Canada or even Pantha Du Prince, but there are organic traces here, also. Think John Martyn's 'Small Hours' or even Kraftwerk's lesser spotted pastoral side, with Audioglider fusing the explicitly digital with the warmly natural.

Debut album 'Accidental Beauty' is set to be released on April 21st, but Clash is able to premiere a new track before anyone else. 'Cortexaphan' stretches out past the seven minute mark, with crystalline synths matched against wonderfully blissed out samples.
