Infrared Vision by Anthony Parasole

Dekmantel presents the debut album of NYC mogul Anthony Parasole on their UFO series. A regular feature on quality line-ups and playlists alike, Parasole's music perfectly fits the bill for cutting-edge electronic music. ‘Infrared Vision’ is a display of his love for polyrhythmic drum patterns, post-club sketches, twisted dance floor gems and classy, big room-ready tunes.

‘‘When I started to conceptualize my album I had a few end goals’’, explains Parasole. ‘‘I wanted to string my own style through Infrared Vision, so it would be familiar to the people who like my music. I also grabbed ideas outside of techno and house, because I didn't want to be influenced by anything new. I was listening to a lot of jazz, hip-hop, Nine Inch Nails and Prince for example.’’

Parasole took his time to write, produce and record Infrared Vision, dividing the process into three steps. ‘‘I wrote the album in words, pinning down ideas and track concepts on a notepad. Subsequently I transferred my ideas to my gear. Due to a heavy tour schedule I sometimes brought gear with me on the road, to continue my sketch process on the hardware. I then recorded it at home and at the Butcha Sound Studios in New York. When the music was fully finished, the album morphed to its final version.’’ And that version is the one Dekmantel will release on April 3.
