about

“It's Never Too Late” is the debut EP from Parisian techno artist M.O.L.N, featuring four tracks which demonstrate a wide dynamic range of production techniques.

The opening track “Buchla” gets straight to the point, blending elements of experimental, west-coast synthesis with pure peak-hour energy. It begins with an ominous, sidechain-ducked drone from the Buchla 208 complex oscillator before dropping into a heavy, 142 BPM kick/hat pattern. The 208 adds a sharp, percussive line shortly afterwards which persists through the length of the track in varying envelopes and modulation levels. “Where’s the water?”

“Run Away They Are Already There” starts with detuned elements on the 208, then the track quickly comes to a hard stop. Broken-beat kicks break the silence, then brighter timbres take over on the drop. M.O.L.N knows the rules and chooses to break them. “Into The Psy Trap” and “4 Bells” are fit for the closing hours, showing M.O.L.N’s ability to create harmonious and ethereal atmospheres equally well. Pleasant melodic lines, lush reverbs, and slowly evolving pads are the defining features of these tracks.

M.O.L.N cites influence from early Detroit techno artists such as Jeff Mills, and he produces with a mixed hardware/software workflow. “It's Never Too Late” is his statement to “just hit record” and release some tracks: Darkroom Bureau found him with a Soundcloud search for “buchla,” so the strategy seems to have worked.
