Ovation: Sepalcure, Nathan Fake and HVOB

Rounding up the Ovation series for 2015 are three artists who create distinctive electronic soundscapes from different corners of the globe; Sepalcure, Nathan Fake and HVOB.

Sepalcure, the collaboration between Travis Stewart (Machinedrum) and Praveen Sharma (Braille). Sepalcure’s mix of tribal dub, house and two step beats works equally well for both late nights in the club and rainy, introspective nights at home, with Detroit techno chords cutting through wooden beats, neon synths and dubbed out atmospherics.

Joining them will be Border Community wunderkind and heir to the UK electronica throne Nathan Fake, who has been keeping fans of fuzzy-edged synths and pounding acidic techno beats alike guessing ever since his debut release at the tender age of 19. Having recently launched his own label, Cambria Instruments, with fellow Border Community signee Wesley Matsell, Fake released his first music since his last LP in 2012 earlier this year. Using a millennium-era copy of Cubase 5 and a Roland SH-09, the Norfolk producer created the Glaive EP, an altogether more abstract record with esoteric melodies and textures previously unheard in his work.

With their acclaimed debut album HVOB in 2013 and five EPs, Austrian duo HVOB have crafted a unique panoply of sound: intelligent and driving, challenging and melodic. Trialog, the altogether darker, more melodic second album by the producer duo Anna Müller and Paul Wallner, was released in April of this year and was described by the pair as ‘an interdisiplinary work of art: ten physical processes, reflected in interactive installations, visuals and sounds’.
