Swedish producer Ivan Berggren, aka Paresse, returns to Eskimo Recordings with Meat Robots, an underground house number whose acid bass lines and ricocheting percussion will have even assembly line robots jacking as it builds to a hypnotic conclusion. The track was inspired by Berggren's wrestling with the age-old question of just what we are, simply biological machines running on electrical impulses and chemical reactions, or vessels filled with some ineffable spirit.
With releases on labels like Eskimo, Frau Blau and Correspondant, and collaborations with artists such as Titiyo, Paresse's small but perfectly formed discography that's draw upon the sounds of electronica, dub, Italo disco its easy toes why his records have found favour with DJs from across the musical spectrum from Yuksek and Jamie Jones to The Organism and Phillipi & Rodrigo onto the likes of Purple Disco Machine and Ewan Pearson.
