Translation:

It is a handcrafted blend of hypnotic sounds, bold melodies and breathtaking bass lines, that of the two transalpines Clément and Thomas Legrand, aka Troma & PERS1, who explore a range of different but compatible styles - techno and breakbeat above all, acid and melodic treatments. This EP sees the duo still collaborate with the Aquaregia Records crew, a relationship that has been going on for some years now, this time counting on four original versions for the occasion. It starts with the title track "Kaede" and it is delicate synth spins, graceful melodies and echoing beats that keep the musical flow high. "Samara" is more euphoric and features cinematic pads that harmoniously follow the trend of the whole, while, on the contrary, "Crimson Breath" focuses on hypnotic soundscapes, dreamy progressions and blissful moods that hook the crowd. “Autumn Moon” is instead built on arpeggiating modulations, emotional hooks and a somewhat fractured and looming rhythm, also boasting a good remix just as breaky, powerful but with cinematic additions.
