With this new EP called "Last Night A Bassline Saved My Life", again released on Unsure, Stefan Schwander further refines the philosophy and sound of his latest concept While My Sequencer Gently Bleeps. Following his idea of reduction Schwander used only the Elektron Monomachine to shape four amazing tracks, beautifully balanced, searching for the perfect groove, stripped of all unnecessary.
"Compromise", the first track, may even be a reminiscence to Schwanders legendary releases as Antonelli Electr, supertransparent and supercrisp, yet still warm, deep and human, an understated wonder of a track! "Persona" and the title track got those dubby chords and effective synths, an inimitable tightness and basslines that can save your life indeed. And on "Escalator" Schwander comes up with extraordinary rolling and twisting rhythms and some sonic essentials that only the master of the sequencer can deliver. Distinguished.

Antonelli’s *While My Sequencer Gently Bleeps* is his second release on Unsure and his fifth overall. Using only the Elektron Monomachine and drawing on influences from German rock and the roots of BLEEP & BASS, the album features four tracks, led by “Compromise,” which was described as “reminiscent of the legendary works released as Antonelli Electr.—a mysterious track that is ultra-transparent and ultra-crisp, yet warm, deep, human, and understated!” Led by “Compromise,” which received this praise, the album features four tracks. Sound magic created through polyrhythms and dub-inspired techniques. A truly unique release. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
