Gábor Lázár never ceases to intrigue. The Hungarian producer is best known for his solo exploits on labels such as Presto!? and Planet Mu, as well as impressive collaborations with the likes of Mark Fell and Russell Haswell.
Across his entire canon of work, Lázár has taken a fiercely experimental – but never completely out of reach – approach to electronic music and its creation. His newest record, February’s Boundary Objects for Planet Mu, is a fine example. All of the tracks featured on the record were made on a compositional interface designed by Lázár, recorded in real-time in Budapest and Prague, and presented on the album in dizzyingly raw and unedited form.
Some of these tracks feature here, on Lázár’s rather succinct Crack Mix, alongside previews of unreleased material. Recorded earlier this month in New York, the offering is impeccably executed, abstract and, at its core, incredibly playful. Time to dive in head first.
Gábor Lázár plays Semibreve Festival, Braga, on 27-30 October
