Mexican Summer

Arp is an artist known for his unique blend of electronic and experimental music. With a discography spanning over two decades, Arp has established himself as a pioneer in the genre. Influenced by artists such as Josiah Steinbrick, Visible Cloaks, and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Arp's sound is characterized by intricate melodies and ethereal atmospheres.

Arp's music takes listeners on a journey through sonic landscapes that are both captivating and thought-provoking. His compositions often feature complex rhythms and layers of synthesizers, creating a rich tapestry of sound. Drawing inspiration from various genres including ambient, krautrock, and new age, Arp's music defies categorization.

With each release, Arp continues to push the boundaries of electronic music. Collaborating with other talented musicians such as Gaussian Curve and Joseph Shabason, he constantly explores new sonic territories. Whether performing live or producing in the studio, Arp's passion for experimentation shines through in every note.

Mexican Summer is an independent record label based out of Brooklyn, NY. They release the work of adventurous musicians without the limitations of genre or form. Mexican Summer operates in tandem with Anthology, a book publisher and archival record label. Anthology focuses on responsibly licensed material, compelling design, and definitive presentation.

With Zebra, the fourth Arp longplayer, NY-based artist / producer / DJ, Alexis Georgopoulos, has boldly stepped into vastly new musical territory – blurring the lines between electronic and acoustic, between the experimental impulse and the addictive pop sensibility. Reaching across genres — colliding modern composition with post-pop structures, dub techniques and three-dimensional geometries — Georgopoulos creates a delirious mélange of sound, spellbinding in its range. Using forward-looking production techniques and an idiosyncratic instrumental palette — analog synthesizers, double bass, Fender Rhodes, electronic and acoustic drums, flute, harmonizers and tape delay — Georgopoulos paints a topography of sound, hinting at an astonishing range of styles — 4th world tremors, vibey cosmic jazz, forward-looking 80s Japanese production, floating kosmische drum atmospherics. Like transmissions through a medium wave receiver, it moves, liquid like, in flow motion. A mutant offspring of diverse stylings, unlikely convergences, unfixed constellations, stretching ... into new mutations. All that’s solid melts to air, all that’s air crystallises into rhythm, shifting through multiple atmospheres, telling a complicated story that compels repeat listens. Zebra emphasises 'points of connectivity' in a time when reactive and fractious isolationism threaten to emphasise division. Previous releases on RVNG, Beats In Space, Mexican Summer, Smalltown Supersound, Type and Emotional Rescue. For fans of Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma and Laraaji.
