ETHNO is releasing his debut EP “Musicology Vol. 1” on Gravitas Recordings September 1st. This EP is the beginning of the artistic gates opening for ETHNO, sitting on hours of original music and ready to show the world this first chapter. Jeffrey Franca (ETHNO) is the drummer and musical director for Thievery Corporation and has a full lifetime of touring and influences under his belt. His unique approach on global bass music incorporates all of these influences from around the world into a special blend of sounds. We are excited for what is next for this legend and his project ETHNO.
“This is an amazing introduction to the experiences and influences realized by a life in music. The EP is a unique approach to global bass dance music, crossing genres and borders alike. This sound and approach stand out sonically and rhythmically amongst the masses of bass producers and DJs, a truly unique experience” – ETHNO
The Journey opens the EP with panning female vocal chants, flutes and synths filling the air and painting a beautiful soundscape. It drops into flowing bass and beautiful stabby synths, epicly building into a larger drop incorporating a new lead and a flow beat. Awake again (ft. Celestine) slows down the tempo and starts with lush string instruments and beautiful vocals that immediately teleport us to another world. Building on top with catchy electronic synth leads and a catchy chorus, this one can put anyone in a good mood. Exhale has a beautiful downtempo intro and slowly brings in electronic leads and similar sounds to the previous tracks, maintaining the same vibe yet showing a different side to the project. Leaf Water opens with beautiful analog synth stabs and vocal chops, echoing around the soundscape and immediately enchanting the listener. Slowly building and layering new ideas, this meditative beat brings in heavier bright synths that brings us back to the old school electronic music sound. My Personality (ft. Born-I) switches it up and brings a higher energy groove and brings in iconic rapper Born-I. Focusing more on the beat and rap than the synths and other ideas, while still incorporating the sound and style that ETHNO has created for this release. A perfect end to the release that leaves us wanting more.
