When We Dip | Premiere: Francesco Tristano shares scintillating 'Pacific FM' from new LP on Derrick May's Transmat Recordings

The brand new LP from pianist and composer, Francesco Tristano, sees the Luxembourg artist join forces with one of the Belleville Three, one of the godfathers of Detroit techno! The LP is set for release on Transmat, the seminal label from techno pioneer Derrick May. The record, which includes four collaborations with May, sees Tristano embark on one of his boldest expeditions to date. It’s described by the man himself as his “most techno and synth-based project yet.”

The eight-track LP is a showcase of supreme electronic instrumentation and it also represents the first record May has worked extensively on for the better part of two decades. “I had to lure him into my studio,” Tristano says of May with a smile, “he was like Alice in Wonderland when he saw the synthesizers.”

Today, we present the full premiere of ‘Pacific FM’, a track which fuses an engrossing low end element with lush hi-hats, clever stab sounds and a most delicious set of wavering keys. This is a journey you’ll surely make more than once!
