The Spaniard Manuel Fernandez Llorente had a classical musical upbringing, studying at the Music Conservatorium in Madrid. He has been composing and producing electronic music since 1996, not only releasing on his own label “7Noise” but more importantly also being licensed for various major compilations. Beatport voted his track “Evolve” as the best minimal track in 2009. Now he is releasing his first tracks on Highgrade records. At first, “Addiction” unspectacularly plods on towards House heaven, but then the sparse vocals and timeless Organ sounds give you a warm and soft electro shock. The first track on the B side “The Gull” shows off Prompt’s talents as a composer. A very discreet melody blankets the straight beat, taking away the coldness of the bass. A beautiful dream track that should never really end. “Mechanic” brings it home and is right in your face, a journey into minimal techno country, where you meet the sound ghosts that Prompt has summoned. A single drum beat here, a voice there and a now and again a sound shred that are all meticulously arranged to make the perfect atmosphere. The digital bonus track “Blue Light” is minimal at its best, warm, funky and functional.

Fresh Meat / Berlin Mitte Ins: “Another very typical Highgrade release. Liking it, will play. Thanks !”
