Sequel, the long-awaited debut album from SQL, takes the young Amsterdam artist in a new musical direction. The Prophet 5 synth takes center stage on this lush double LP. "Sequel is about rebirth. It's the culmination of everything I have loved, lost, learned, and experienced in the last ten years as a musician," he says. "This cycle is the only constant factor in my music and my career, and by learning to accept it, I've come to terms with the music I make. This album is a reflection of who I am right now at this moment. It's me, no compromise." Embracing a fresh approach that combines the use of numerous pieces of analog gear and samples of his own field recordings, Sequel represents the new sound of SQL in its purest form. "Antipode" features Hessel Stuut. Black-and-white cover with artwork from Hessel Stuut.

MBF 12068EP
|
SQL's 4-track EP Midnight Brunch is based on magic, stripped-down tracks which seem sparse, but are, in fact, super-funky. A bit of Chicago's house history is incorporated for sure, but Pim van Horssen is definitely also new school. His dry and wailing sounds put him next to Daniel Bell. "Midnight Brunch" is a peak-time rocker, while "Border Dot" is a more sensual mover, with a more recognizable arrangement. "Funky Visa" and "Sunday" represent the more deep end of SQL.
