Released on the 16th August, their ‘Cairn’ EP is a six track homage to the sounds of the UK.
With years of experience in the industry, Brecon draw from the heavier side of their influences – referencing to UK garage, dubstep, house and techno – the duo fuse together introspective melodies with percussions, harmonies and spanning a range of tempos.
Speaking about Brecon, Max Cooper says, “when I first listened to Brecon I was struck by something new – the strength of the rhythmic approach in the context of beautiful arp-driven synth music. There’s a mastery of the drums, so sparse, but so effective, without resorting to the usual tropes we’re so used to in this melodic context. And the melodies so saturated to give them an edge in fitting with the percussive approach. It made me excited to hear something new and full of life, which was also so compatible with what I play and what I’m doing with the label.”
