Petrichor, one of Glasgow's most exciting producers, presents his stunning debut album, Mångata. The man behind the project, Simon Stokes, has been gradually working his way up the ranks in his home city's scene and has firmly established himself within the Soma hierarchy with a hat-trick of original EPs, each laden with his analog-focused, dream-like sound that straddles the boundaries between electronica, house, and techno. As well as a burgeoning career in electronic music, Stokes has founded his own music production school, Shoogle Studios. As the only Ableton Certified Trainer in Scotland, he has taken on the mantle of leadership at the illustrious Soma Skool, helping a new breed of producers find their footing within the realms of electronic music production. Never one to stand still and remain focused on one facet of his skills in the studio, he has also found himself working as a mastering engineer in the studio with Soma founders Slam, helping them shape their 2014 album Reverse Proceed (SOMA 105CD). Stokes's tireless work in the studio on his own project has now come to fruition, as he delivers the dramatic and provocative Mångata. Amalgamating his array of impressive hardware and his intricate knowledge of Ableton Live, Petrichor has refined his sound and crafted an intricate, multifaceted album that draws on many spheres of influence, designed as a singular listening piece.
