// Lewis Fautzi
The gleam of cosmic light reflects on polished surfaces, sometimes tracing long smooth curves, other times ending in edges, outlining a powerful machine that pierces a path between the gravitational pull of a black hole and the attraction of a newly-born starās brightness. If Lewis FautziĀ“s sound could be captured in material form, it would look something like
this.You can draw a similar parallel to his career so far. Lewis Fautzi has had a meteoric ascension in the global techno scene like a projectile fired into space at the speed of light. Establishing the norm of releasing on well-respected labels, in 2013 his first noteworthy edition came on Soniculture, a label from his home country Portugal.
Fautzi then started a lineage of releases on classic techno label SlamĀ“s imprint Soma Quality. His first release on the label was the powerful āTurnā EP, followed by the trippy āBinaryā which received an Oscar Mulero remix. The third release for Fautzi on Soma was the relentlessly undulating āRangeā before cumulating in his 2014 debut album āThe Gare Albumā, named after the Porto club which has served as his creative impulse and the launch platform for his career.
His reputation growing with every release, early support came from the legendary Jeff Mills. Playing multiple productions of his in a single set, it was the definitive seal of approval for a promising creator beginning to define his sound and
style.By 2015 and still at just Fautziās catalogue had exploded: two EPs on Figure; two releases on Pole Group which including an EP of originals remixed by Exium and Kwartz; a single on the āUnknown Landscapes Vol.2ā compilation; a track on Warm-Up (Oscar Mulero providing the remix); and on his own beloved Faut Section imprint, a collaboration with PƤr Grindvik that led to an Oscar Mulero EP with two Lewis Fautzi remixes. Fautzi also dropped a second album on Soma, āSpace Explorationā, full of highly conceptual material, as personal as it feels alien, where Fautzi displayed his insatiable thirst for musical knowledge and exploration by broadening his horizons towards more ambient and experimental sound forms.
