Dont Be Afraid

Detroit native MGUN drops his debut album on Don't Be Afraid. Following up from singles on Don't Be Afraid, Berceuse Heroique, FIT &amp; The Trilogy Tapes this is one of the best Techno albums you'll hear all year. Recorded over a couple of years this LP really shows the evolution of the artist and initial reactions back up the quality of this album. Don't miss this one. Manuel Gonzales returns from a two year break from releasing to unveil his debut LP for Don't Be Afraid. Marking the UK-based label's first artist album (DBALP001), 'Gentium' follows a string of highly acclaimed releases on labels also including The Trilogy Tapes, Wild Oats, Third Ear, BAKK, Berceuse Heroique and FIT. "About half of these tracks were made in my childhood home between 2007 and2010. Most were recorded on cassette then digitized on a Windows millennium edition PC. I would record these to the standard WAV recorder you can find in the sound preferences, which from there it was possible to use primitive effects to manipulate the audio file." "The other half were produced in my current home studio, using somewhat of the same system I used back then, one take for the most part. There is hardly any multi-tracking involved with any of my productions. I use a basic WAV editor to manipulate recordings as well as various analog recording mediums beforehand." In drawing from these recordings and methods developed over such a long period of time, Gentium captures the growth of a modern electronic artist in a way few albums do, charting the evolution from an unknown quantity in the birthplace of techno to the DJ &amp; producer widely admired today for the fresh immediacy of his approach.
