a year agoVery happy to announce my next album, Luminous Machines. Release date 5th Feb 2024. Link in bio to pre-order.
The most ambitious musical project to take flight from Emile Facey's Plant43 Studio since it's inception in the late 90's, Luminous Machines is a 16 track cinematic epic consisting of eight dance floor focussed electro tracks which appear on the DJ friendly vinyl edition and an additional eight sci-fi soundscapes which complete the full cinematic edition. The vinyl edition comes with a download card which includes the entire 16 track album.
Juno's review: Plant43 is the alias of Emile Facey, one of electro's most tireless innovators. He has a vast discography that never fails to prove he can speak through his machines more ably than just about anyone in the game, and certainly within the genre. Luminous Machines comes on his own label and is an album, his eighth in all, of cinematic and futuristic jams written before a gig at Tresor in April this year. 'Haunting The Depths' has an icy minimalism to it, with crisp drums and snappy hits all underpinned by textured bass. The title cut is a restless affair that pings about the stereo field with squiggling lines and loopy breaks and 'Fixed Point Rotation' has a more dark and menacing feel. These are just some of the highlights of another standout collection.
