WL//WH is pleased to premiere the mesmerising and droning 8-bit arcade FXS-flecked Electro track "Parumleo" by English electronic producer Steve Shears, a.k.a. Interweave Electronics, taken from the incoming digital album "Decayed Matrix" due out on April 26, 2025, via the label/podcast Strange But Dance Music (@strangebutdancemusic)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The idea of the "Decayed Matrix" was an observation of decay within environments in Britain. In some areas, it's a bit like Detroit. The loss of industry leading to decay. Steve is from Croydon, London, where this decay is evident. And so that has a big influence on his mood.
Surrounded by cold concrete towers, struggles to find work, numerous gangs, local debts and isolationism caused by different cultures being located in a small area and having to live on what little work or poorly paid jobs exist. Or schoolkids being drawn into the taking of crime.
It can influence an artist to write the same kinds of music, either hard, scary, or melancholic. And sometimes emotive, which can represent people's dreams to live a better life.
Steve wanted to push the boundaries of sound in Electro in a search for something new, yet trying to keep it grounded in robotic rhythms. He continues that search for sound and influence whilst living in a town on the edge.
