We celebrate the arrival of Red Panda Music; Barcelona DNA label created by Carla Agulló which gives its go-ahead to the September 25 with “Temporary Bliss” EP (RPM01) produced by the Latvian band Oriola 701 with remixes by David Douglas and Stillhead.
The news of a new label is always great news. Therefore we are proud to present the first release of Barcelona’s new label, Red Panda Music, created by Carla Agulló. RPM01 is called “Temporary Bliss”, EP arising from the emotional and evocative electronic music of the Latvia band Oriola 701.
The combo settled in Riga formed by Andrew ‘Les’ Leskovsky, Gerri Pavloff, Paul Melamed and Vital Drozdov, aka Oriola 701, has been an active member in the music scene in Latvia during the past 15 years having travelled around the world with their characteristic live sets. For this EP, Oriola 701 has created «Temporary» y » Bliss», two subtle vocal pieces that will bring happy and sad memories, both dreamy but strong, and both in time hypnotic.
Channelling the Nordic style of electronic through the house and techno beat styles, the original works «Bliss» and «Temporary» by Oriola 701 are complemented with a remix of house by David Douglas and downtempo remix-meets-drum & bass by the original artist from Latvia, Scotsman Stillhead.
The quartet invited two artists to bring something intimate and personal to one of its two tracks: «Bliss». While the touch of David gives a more upbeat generating a new flow to the track’s Groove, Stillhead version makes it an evocative landscape downtempo.
While we wait to buy it this Friday, September 25, vinyl and mp3, here’s the soundcloud with 4 cuts of this unprecedented “Temporary Bliss” EP (RPM01) with this particular family of Red Pandas opens for business, with the sole mission to make you happy.
