I don’t know much about Severence. I know he’s from Spain (Murcia according to his MySpace page)
There’s a chance that he looks a bit like this…
Which was taken from his MySpace pictures, so it’s him or someone he knows!
But what is very clear about Severence is his love for ambient, ethereal dub-techno, IDM and chill. His website boasts an array of mixes featuring the likes of Echospace, Yagya, Quantec, Gas, Pole, Bvdub, Robert Henke and such purveyors of the deep dub-techno side of things.
Severence’s own productions (which you can hear on his MySpace) have also been released through Shoreless Recordings on their “Selected Moments I” compilation, of which there are only 100 odd in existence. But I urge you to scour discogs and ebay for a copy – from what I’ve read and heard it’s truly exquisite.
His own productions have the same sweeping, washing highly-crafted synth sounds, over subtle 4-4 beats and filtered noise pads that got me hooked on Quantec’s (Sven Schienhammer) productions, and it was in fact through Quantec that I discovered Severence. I don’t know how familiar they are with each other’s work – but I’d expect them to have at least spoken, what with being label-mates an’ all. Quantec is a whole new post however, so I’ll save that for now.
I really just wanted to highlight this artist, and reccomend checking out his range of mixes – all downloadable through his site.
