Figure

Kangding Ray is an experimental electronic project by David Letellier, a French artist based in Berlin. With a career spanning over several years, Kangding Ray has established himself as a prominent figure in the electronic music scene.
Letellier's unique approach to sound and composition sets him apart from his contemporaries. Drawing inspiration from various genres and styles, Kangding Ray creates intricate sonic landscapes that push the boundaries of electronic music.
His work has garnered critical acclaim and he has collaborated with renowned artists such as *Byetone*, *alva noto*, and *Senking*. Fans of experimental electronic music will also appreciate the similar sounds of *Frank Bretschneider*, *Vladislav Delay*, and *Murcof* among others.

Ever effervescent producer Kangding Ray continues to connect experimentalism and dancefloor, hitting home hard on his newest EP on Figure. 

Storming out of the gate, Doppler Shift packs the momentum to take off, its dry-thumping arp-ride raising the levels from zero to hero. Meditating on murky sounds, Branches displays the producer’s extraordinary skills at splicing together seemingly disparate DNA of sounds to create otherworldly but compelling tapestries of rhythm. 

Turning things for the flip, from colourful dub chords emerges Salt and Iron, a driving tune reminiscent of the 90’s spacey chill-out-rooms. Taking it a notch deeper, Robust Version Nine builds its lively groove around modular experimentations, the machines ultimately becoming an extension of the artist himself.
