REVIEWS: /AMBIANCE\ presents "Live"

The Kyma Komplex label has shown us, in its long journey, by a clear commitment to a type of music producers, which if something characterizes them, is their irregularity, focused on their search for multiple unstable paths and that, weathering the storm, harvesting successes and incorporating everything that experience gives them, they emerge suddenly with proposals as unique and surprising as their own personal trajectory. They work attentively to detect when it is time to enter the studio with the artists to turn everything upside down...

/AMBIANCE\ is one of the musical projects of a Nicaraguan artist, a jazz lover, based in Los Angeles. I grew up in Miami, Florida...surrounded by Cuban music and booty bass. That's where the love for electro, new wave, freestyle and bass began. Now, with "Live" he has resulted in a serious work, carefully cared for, that lends itself to starting it and not coming back to reality until it's finished: the headphones are like the oxygen cylinder that allows you to dive to the bottom of this great sonic rotation, of this cosmic orbit, and being there in a state of hypnotic fascination.

It must be stressed that the level of production of these guys is intense but, on the other hand, the care of the sounds they release is up to those who do things because they want to and with the time they really need. That's why it's about productions that when you approach carefully you get trapped by the halo that it gives off: rare, singular and, here comes the best, powerful, magnetic and danceable. Its beats are deeply manic, moving towards synth-driven krautwave monsters, tweaked with catchy female vocals with a post-punk/new wave feel.

/AMBIANCE\ seeks novelty without losing nostalgia, which plays with the genre but without falling into predictable tricks, nor the arrogance of those who cling to a genre or mannerism to show they have personality. Paradoxically, to achieve simplicity and lucidity, experience and the ability to free oneself from the limitation of conditioning are required, and this "Live" is a healthy example of this.
