Mesh are pleased to introduce Istanbul-based artist Pleizel, with an immersive four-track EP, Primal Touch, out 15th November.

An accomplished producer and audio engineer with a background in sound design that spans across multiple disciplines, from film music composition to 3D digital arts, she employs a layered understanding of the technicalities behind music creation to craft vast productions untethered to any one genre.

With a strong focus on musicality and a rigorous ear for sonic detail, her debut EP on Mesh is a testament to the meeting of the technical and the emotive.

Label owner Max Cooper said of Pleizel, “From the moment I first heard Pleizel's music there was magic and huge potential there. And when I first saw her live show I was blown away. An amazing musician, producer and performer, I'm excited to see where she goes with it.”

‘Celestial Embrace’ opens with warm, shapeshifting pads that ebb and flow around distant chords with light touches of euphoria, characteristic of the cinematic qualities found in much of Pleizel’s work.

Next up is ‘Liana’ - a track previously released on Mesh’s Lattice 001 compilation - that pairs glitching analogue funk with rising chords. ‘Midnight Horses’ then steps into darker surrounds, with sparse, eerie beeps driven forward by a marching percussive framework.

Rounding off the EP is Affinity Bond; another example of Pleizel’s highly visual sonic paintings, with expansive sound design wandering amongst distorted vocals on top of a hypnotic, irregular rhythmic metre.
