Fred Lenix – Heart Beat Slow [Truesoul]

Fred Lenix has carved out his space on Adam Beyer’s Truesoul imprint, notably with his ‘Somewhere’ EP, ‘Void’, and his collab with Dino Lenny on the ‘Motivator’ EP. Now the young Turkey-based Brazilian producer drops a new Truesoul offering, the sci-fi soundscape single ‘Heart Beat Slow’, out February 7th.

Fred Lenix, qualified sound engineer as well as DJ/Producer, has an impressive discography as well as gigs worldwide, having released on labels like UPPERGROUND, Octopus, UNSEEN Recordings, CamelPhat’s When Stars Align, Ellum… His old school techno/electro animated by a futuristic spirit has won support from the likes of ARTBAT, Tale of Us, Pan-Pot, Solomun et al as well as Beyer.

‘Heart Beat Slow’ creates a futurist cinematic enigma with techno beat and Moroder-esque pulsing bass melody introducing a discordant cascade of big drums, after which the bass becomes reverb-rich and hoover sounds with doppler FX evoke passing spacecraft amid spacey clangings and tearings of metal. Stitching this deep, deep resonant soundscape together, through builds and breaks, is a robotic vocal processed to non-human riffing on the title. The beat becomes double later like a labouring heart, an organic strand to the scene, while the percussion lends huge energy to the track.
