Description
Jordan Peak’s Rogue Society imprint returns this October with Estebane Adame’s ‘Paper People’ EP, backed with remixes from Robert Hood and Jus Ed. Los Angeles born Estebane Adame’s shaped quite the career over the past decade, in 2004 Mad Mike Banks of Underground Resistance took note of Estebane’s skills as a keyboardist following his studies in the field aged 19. Banks invited Adame’s to collaborate on his Galaxy 2 Galaxy / Los Hermanos projects, and following this Adame’s teamed up with Santiago Salazar as ICAN which soon led to material surfacing on Underground Quality, Planet E and Subject Detroit, a striking indication of the quality embodied in Estebane’s output. Here we see Estebane join the roster of Jordan Peak’s Rogue Society imprint, following recent releases featuring Peak himself, Mike Huckaby and John Daly. Opening the release is ‘Rays Of Saturn’, a striking Detroit tinged Dub Techno workout, fuelled by crunchy distorted rhythms, wandering arpeggios and penetrating stab sequences kicking things off with a punch. Following is ‘Baby Nostradamus’ which tips things over to a gritty acidic state with squelching bass licks, bright ethereal pad lines and ever-evolving, dynamic drum programming.
