Premiere: mmph blends summertime hedonism and rave synths on ‘Serenade’

Tri Angle has a reputation for pushing experimental, bleeding-edge sonics, and their newest signing – mmph – is no different.

Boasting a CV that includes producing for the likes of David Byrne and serpentwithfeet, the classically-trained cellist put out his debut EP, ‘Dear God’, on the label earlier this year.

The 24-year-old producer now returns with the five-tracked ‘Serenade’, where he’s given each of the EP’s five songs a different classical trope to create ‘Wagnerian suites in miniature’.

The title cut, which Dummy is pleased to premiere below, is based around a ‘courtship song often played in the open air’. Blending guitar plucks and skittering synths, it’s an unlikely mixture of summertime hedonism and rave aesthetics.
