/in , , /by

World is the debut album dreamt up by the Barcelona based DJ and Production duo known as Memorial Home. Comprising of Paul Roux (France) and Jeremy Pinchasi (Belgium), World is the exciting result of their shared desire to push the limits of their own brilliant musical foresight. It’s an ambitious 20 track long-player which effortlessly showcases the incomparable sonic space shared between both musical masterminds.

Heavily textured in incredible atmospherics, dub effects and crisp, clear percussion, World spreads over an excellent array of individual tracks full of groundbreaking musical magic. Incorporating a stunning fusion of live instrumentation and electronic craftsmanship, World is an audio adventure into emotive soundscapes, with a clear focus on the subtle saturation of melancholy. It’s a soundtrack for a dystopian film yet to be written. Asonic painting for the coming winter months where the trees are all but dead and frozen; and the ground a thick layer of glowing white snow.
