Animals Disk by Jorge Velez

"...a surprisingly beautiful album, with plenty of intriguing musical avenues to explore."-- Juno

"A bizarrely beautiful Ambient of bird calls, and wind chimes, 8-bit squall and primitive digital rhythms. Unlike anything either producer or label have ever released." -- BLEEP

"L.I.E.S. rustle up a charming suite of zoomorphic adventures by Jorge Velez, conjuring atmospheres and themes associated with the title of each track.

It’s effectively like a library record, exclusively produced using Fairlight CMI samples and a Microbrute synthesiser. Lynx At The Corner is elegant, eastern-themed with breezy, bittersweet harmonics; Birdhouse Data chimes and dives with a gorgeous avian quality; and Tiger Pool meshes rippling rhythmic patterns with cascading 8-bit tones at once placid but foreboding.

Boa courses a slow, reticulated rhythm scaled with fractal ayahuasca patterns, and Hanuman pursues that spirit into clipped, jutting drums with a mystic, ritual dance atmosphere." --BOOMKAT

"From the lo-fi techno of his MMT Tape Series to his synth explorations as Professor Genius, New York's Jorge Velez draws on many generations of dance music." - Resident Advisor
