Ali Renault - Nawce Blizzard | Vivod (vivod025)

In memory of his late friend, Pete Mangalore of Human Shield fame, Vivod label boss Ali Renault presents the hauntingly evocative "Nawce Blizzard." This EP, consisting of five mesmerising tracks, pays tribute to a legend while pushing the boundaries of electronic music.

The journey begins with "Northdown Acid," a brooding sprawl that weaves elements of Italo and acid into a beautiful tapestry of sound. Following is the amusingly titled "Imminent Salad," characterised by its jacking strut groove and lush pads, creating an irresistible sonic landscape.

"Peter Summoning" offers a tranquil respite, with its simple ambient suggestion, before the flipside introduces the slo-mo stomper "Forbidden Mind." The EP's title track, "Nawce Blizzard," closes the experience with its hypnotic electro style, leaving an indelible mark on the listener.

As a special touch, each copy includes a free Peter plectrum and a Vivod sticker, making this release a true collector's gem. With only 280 copies available worldwide, seize the opportunity to own a piece of this sonic tribute.
