Jordan Bernardo – The Pink Cloud

Early June will see the release of Jordan Bernardo’s ‘The Pink Cloud’ LP via his Chicago-based imprint The Pool House.  Here the label offers up a sampler featuring five of the twenty compositions from the project.

Chicago’s Jordan Bernardo is co-founder of The Pool House imprint birthed out of the windy city and home to a collective of producers and DJ’s in the city. Here we see the up and coming producer step up to deliver his debut long player, a twenty track body of work ranging from energy fuelled Techno more experimental Downtempo sounds.

The Pool House has revealed snippets of the full project a fortnight before the release including some of our favourites like the punchy ‘Double Agent’, which focusses on menacing bass sweeps, popping synth sequences and raw percussion. ‘Dho What’ delves somewhat deeper with sparse, dubby rhythms, eerier atsmospherics and an ever-evolving array of synth lines.

‘Story Time W Grandma’ drops the tempo slightly and lays down a chugging groove accompanied by murmuring vocal chops, floaty chords and menacing bass drones. ‘Sleeping Shades’ then brings wandering arpeggios to light while penultimate track ‘Pass Fail’ closes the deal on a stripped back, heady dance floor tip.

Jordan Bernardo’s ‘The Pink Cloud’ is out on The Pool House 6th June 2016.
