Global Vibe Radio 153 Feat. MNTL

/in , , , , /by

This week’s Global Vibe Radio episode comes from Ric McClelland aka Montel aka MNTL, an artist who has been releasing music under a range of aliases for over 10 years now.

However, his releases as Montel surfaced around late 2012 and were a product of the resurgence of the vinyl DJing scene. Focusing on a retrospective House sound, his tracks received immediate support from the likes of Bicep, Waze & Odyssey, Jacques Renault and many others. As time moved on, so did Ric’s sound as Montel. Inline with his long standing residency at Belfast’s Misfit party, his musical output and DJ sets moved to a tougher House sound with elements of Techno. Around this time he began to pick up plaudits from a wider range of DJs, from John Digweed to Hot Since 82, from Adam Beyer to Anja Schneider, from Skream to Richy Ahmed. His music then started to feature heavily on BBC Radio 1 and his rise to prominence became meteoric. DJ dates around the UK progressed to Europe and then onto a global scale.

Global Vibe Radio 148 Feat. P.E.A.R.L.

/in , , /by

Berlin-based Spanish producer, owner of the Falling Ethics imprint and member of the PoleGroup crew, P.E.A.R.L. steps up to deliver the 148th edition of Global Vibe Radio.

Born and breed in Santander (North of Spain), his first contact with Electronic music comes from 90®s UK sounds that lately will make a fundamental role as his influences and inspiration. As a teenager he began to discover club culture in his local area being heavily impacted by the sounds of British techno either as Birmingham harsh beats or Sheffield and Warp’s IDM sounds.

In 2000 he moves to Barcelona and soon the need of being active instead of passive makes him start experimenting with electronic music creation, using software and becoming part of the Agony Forces Project (from 2006 to 2013), first as a trio then as a duo leaving a bunch of Eps released.

2007 marks the starting point of his now primary outlet: P.E.A.R.L. releasing his first EP in Christian WĂŒnsch’s Tsunami Label, followed by several releases under various aliases like RHEA for the cult label Semantica Records or Basqiam on the american label Detroit Underground.

In 2012 he moves to Berlin and one year after feels the need for having his own imprint founding Falling Ethics Records, first as an outlet for his own productions and lately opening the doors to other creators like Dimi Angelis or The Transhumans. Celebrating in February 2017 his 10th vinyl release. 
During this period he releases works for essential labels like Warm Up Recordings, Float Records, 47 Recordings, PoleGroup or Transhuman Records and also his cooperation with Marcel Heese as PMH.

2017 is going to be a pivotal year on his career, with the release of his first Album Temptation through Impatience to be in all stores this spring on his very own Falling Ethics and his addition to the PoleGroup family.

As a performer he is a solid live act and also an excellent selector in the dj booth, combining the pulse of aggressive beats with mental, ambiental and experimental flavors.
