Philipp Priebe – Layers Of Longing

Description

Philipp Priebe – Layers Of Longing // Stólar – STÓ009

Philipp Priebe returns to his own imprint Stólar with the Layers Of Longing EP, comprising four original compositions. Over the past decade, the Berlin-based artist has built an extensive back catalogue, and through both his solo output and the Stólar label, has established himself as a respected figure within the underground deep house and techno landscape. His work has received consistent attention from DJs and media alike, spanning numerous EPs, a debut album on his own imprint, and most recently a full-length release on Freund Der Familie’s Paradijs Boogie imprint.

On Layers Of Longing, Priebe continues this sonic narrative with four fresh cuts for Stólar. The EP opens with Need & Desire, a seven-and-a-half-minute journey through hazy textures, hypnotic spoken-word elements, and raw, reduced drums. A Functional Piece Of Different Nature follows, laying down a sturdy, heavily swung and saturated rhythm section, complemented by boomy low-end swells, delayed vocal chants, and spiralling dub echoes.

The flip side opens with A Sculpture, which dives deeper into dub-inflected territory through evolving murky atmospheres, fluttering echoes, and resonant synth lines woven into stripped-back percussion. Closing the release, To Find A Seat leans into classic dub techno sensibilities, as warbled stab sequences, cavernous reverbs, and cinematic accents float over crisp hi-hats, crunchy claps, and a weighty four-to-the-floor kick.
