BLR + Matt Sassari – Close Encouters [Truesoul]

Newly minted production duo BLR & Matt Sassari return to Truesoul for ‘Close Encounters’. The two producers linked exclusively for Truesoul back in February, sharing a dynamic pair of rollers ‘The Incident’. This time, it’s a single shot of dancefloor business via ‘Close Encounters’. The core idea was conceived by BLR – a long-time fan of TV show Rick & Morty.

“As a huge fan, I have watched everything out there and as fellow fans would know, every season there’s the ‘evil Morty’ episode, which ends with this haunting vocal track from Blonde Redhead called ‘For the Damaged Coda’. I thought the sample would work really well if morphed into a big techno anthem. So, I went ahead and begun production before inviting Matt Sassari to collaborate and take it to the next level. We’re proud of the result that is ‘Close Encounters’!’” – BLR

‘Close Encounters’ brings vibes in spades, a crisp driving techno record imbued with the producers’ unmistakable groove and atmospheric touches. It begins rolling and tempered before the famous evocative vocal fills the space and takes on a sublime form. This is dreamy late-night perfection.
