Unfurl EP by Scarper
XLR8R: "Scarper balances warm textures and thick pads in a style initially similar to vintage Boards of Canada. However, after that style becomes established, he changes gears and makes a playful run for the dancefloor in the vein of 808 State's lush productions".
Line of Best Fit "A lush, ambient mix of techno and 90s house. Vintage synths create soft, fluffy melodies taking listeners through a cloud-like existence all the way to the end".
Mark Archer (Altern 8/I Love Acid)
4/5 "Surfing is sheer bliss - very varied EP with differing styles and innocence that harks back to 89 - love it"!
Paul Chillage (XFM/Chillage Idiots) “Brilliant ep. These are what I call real “life” tracks – lot of positivity, evoking forgotten memories, bringing a smile to your face & looking forward to the future. There’s an uncluttered, simple beauty to the ep – just great music that will still sound great in 20 years time”
Tim Angrave/Synapsis (The Chillout Lounge) “Love it, Wavellite is a stunning soundscape”
Affie Yusuf (Laila Music/Chemical Records) “Lush, F**king superb! Totally something I’d play. Love the way the synths sing in utter unity & freedom… timeless”
CD includes bonus track "Bubblecloud (Halftribe Remix)"
