Mexican-born electronic producer and live act Sainte Vie has released his new Labyrinth EP, out now via RÜFÜS DU SOL’s Rose Avenue Records.
A masterful two-track offering from one of Rose Avenue’s newest signees, Labyrinth is a dynamic reflection of Sainte Vie’s riveting sound design. With Labyrinth, Sainte Vie embarks on an imaginative venture into a dreamworld of his own making. The EP opens with the striking synth stabs and rolling drum patterns of ‘Suspenso’, a 7-minute instrumental that encapsulates the enigmatic energy of Sainte Vie’s surreal sound. Carrying the mystifying tones present throughout the EP, ‘Labyrinth’ unwinds over 6 minutes as it induces listeners with Sainte Vie’s haunting vocals.
“Labyrinth is an EP inspired by sound design and dream interpretation. Haunted dreams defying reality, face your fears, find the heart of the labyrinth.”
