Scottish producer Proc Fiskal shares the first excerpt (“Pic Of U”) from his upcoming Hyperdub Rt Hon EP.
Distant from this world
It has been almost six years since Joe Powers–based in Edinburgh, made his official debut with The Highland Mob, released by the ever-prolific Hyperdub. Followed by Lothian Buses, Insula, and conceptually matured with Siren Spine Sysex (September 2021.)
Proc Fiskal’s approach combines different elements, such as lush synth patterns and random interjections of field recordings, drenched with the angelic tones of his motherland. And, not only are the productions chopped into a soundboard with tonal creativity; but the artist avoids the huge risk to put the listener into a melting-pot of sounds, in which he might at times feels lost.
“Pic Of U” sounds to be kinda distant from this world, experimenting with a production more meagre but ever-present, built around the vocal samples (form his girlfriend’s voices) and a bare use of synths.
It is part of his new EP titled Rt Hon, to be released on April 14 via Hyperdub. The EP is also available directly from the label’s Bandcamp with a Rare Utopia T-Shirt made in alliance with @habibis____ clothing brand, also based in Edinburgh.
