While his album goes beyond the dance floor, here he mixes those styles with what he would play in a club. With this week's podcast, Tristan - who is also a member of Asa Tone with Melati Malay and Kaazi - aimed to show off all his sides as a producer, listener and DJ. It's resulted in an album that bristles with glitches, ambient pads, downtempo drums, digital perc and micro-house details that succeeds in its mission to blend the made with the played. Released on Wisdom Teeth just last week, the Human Pitch label boss approached the album as a gardener might approach a landscape: using his array of machines and modular synths he let the music write itself. Mexico-city based Tristan Arps blurred the lines between the synthetic and the organic on his second full-length, Sculpturegardening.
