Info:
Aiming to go somewhat deeper and darker than his debut album, on "Some Kind Of Sign" Ernesto endevours to go beyond the obvious and easily cliched elements of an electronic LP, capturing the world within the spaces, using otherworldly modulars and field recordings to take the listener to the outer reaches of the album's very heart and soul.
"Some Kind Of Sign" is an album full of elasticated beats and liquid electronics, every track built around highly inventive drum programming and micro-samples. Album opener, "Still Waiting", sets the tone with bustling, yet understated, percussion, the soaring strings unfurling at the end of each phrase.
It's a long player filled with colour; "Cristal Clear' feels like a Middle Eastern travelogue, the track awash with an almost street scene like ambience, the purposeful percussion really transporting the listener to another space & time. "Astral" chugs along at almost a skanking pace, the shakers and drum fills keeping it a dancefloor piece whilst the modular synths bend and worm around the kicks.
On tracks like "Underwater Lies" the synths rain down onto a dubbed out & sultry female vocal, whilst the propelling electro beat and huge sub-bass carve out a most enjoyable aural (subaquatic) ride. Ferreyra really shows what he is capable of in the deep melancholy of "The Friend I've Lost", the saddest of pianos riffs grips your heart and gives it a good tight crush, douses you in reverb and pins you up against epic, taut strings…releasing you after its two short minutes to get back to the dance on "Hide No More".

The album closes on "Beluga Dance", a riotous and infectious space ride, and a fitting end to an album that most certainly finds Ferreyra stepping up another level with his highly accomplished and polished original dance music, designed not only for the feet but for the head as well, the true hallmarks of great electronic music.

Tracklist 12": A. Voltage Poem B. There Is No Answer
http://soundcloud.com/cadenzamusic/sets/ernesto-ferreyra-insight
Short info:
Argentinian DJ and producer, Ernesto Ferreyra, provided Cadenza with a rich and inspirational album back in 2010, the intricate and balanced "El Paraíso De Las Tortugas" was a masterclass in minimal electronic dance. Four years on, and Ernesto returns to Luciano's label with the 'Insight' single, and a precursor to another album for the label, slated for October release. "Voltage Poem" displays a huge progression for Ernesto, a stomping, elastic backbeat, peppered with live percussion, shakers and micro glitches dances around the mechanical funk of the bassline. A Jamaican poet waxes lyrical, a gem of a vocal "with me riddim, with my rhyme, with me rough bassline, with me own sense of time", as Ernesto get's busy on the delays and reverbs, really dubbing out various elements and creating a real trip of a track. A highly accomplished composition here from Ernersto, and one that really points to some of the goodies we can expect on his forthcoming long player. On the flip, "There Is No Answer" is another playful slice of tripped out dance. A solid groove and frenetic drum pattern is tied down with deep and melodic chords, a lone male voice asks the question (to which there is no answer?), static crackling and radio frequencies humming in the background whilst the hi-hats cut through sharp to keep the energy levels shining. A great return from Ernesto, and a single that nicely builds up some anticipation for his second album for Cadenza, later this year.

Born in Cordoba, Argentina, Ernesto Ferreyra has since called such diverse locations as Mexico City, Montreal, Berlin, and Ibiza home at one time or another over the past decade. His performance schedule in the last few years alone both as a DJ, solo live act, and as half of the celebrated duo Chic Miniature with Guillaume Coutu-Dumont has been hectic enough to make mere mortals give up in disgust just trying to determine their current time zone. Things aren't likely to slow down anytime soon with Luciano increasingly wanting Ernesto at his side to open or close his own epic sets. Yet despite all these comings and goings, he has somehow, over the last year, managed to craft an album that sound less the soundtrack to some lonely wandering vagabundo's tale, then that of a wise and well-travelled man reflecting on the diverse experiences and places that have shaped him, anchored by an ever present ass moving low end pulse. For Ernesto, El Paraíso de Las Tortugas is a paradise of the mind you see, and what good would paradise be without a little dancing to forget your troubles here and there?
After a succesfull album release here is the remix EP of El Paraiso de Las Tortugas. The package include a remix from the Cadenza Label boss Luciano himself and Ernesto's long time Chic Miniature partner, Guillaume & the Coutu Dumonts.

In this age of the Easy Jet set, 24/7 wireless connections, and the resulting barrage of tweets, blogs, and increasingly asinine answers to the question “what's on your mind?”, the notion of home can be a difficult one to pin down for many of us. Indeed, if we were to except the prevalent marketing speak, the very idea of going home for the holidays would seem out dated. Why go to the trouble when you can give the family a little face time on iChat or Skype whether you're in Boston or Bangladesh? We are all citizens of the world now, or so were told. But how does one digitize the smell of a home cooked meal or the light of a sunset seen so many times as to blur the memory into a single nostalgic quickening of the heart? For Ernesto Ferreyra, the answers to these questions and many more are to be found in the infinite wisdom of turtles. A company looking for a poster boy for their new globalista product launch could do a lot worse than Ernesto.

If this is what the turtles are partying to in paradise, we'd all do well to find a shell.

With its thirty-third release, Cadenza grows its family once again, bringing on board rising talent Ernesto Ferreyra. Born and raised in Cordoba, Argentina, and until recently based in Montreal, where he came up amidst the MUTEK festival's extended family, Ernesto calls Berlin home today. His ability to synthesize new ideas from diverse surroundings has made itself amply heard on his releases for Mutek_Rec, Cynosure and Thema, along with remixes for Adam Marshall (New Kanada) and Monofax (Lomidhigh). Recently, you're as likely to find Ernesto alongside Guillaume Coutu-Dumont in the duo Chic Miniature, renowned for their spontaneous, energetic live sets as well as releases on Raum…Musik, Musiqe Risquée and Crosstown Rebels. So Cadenza was lucky to get some time alone with the young multitasker, who continues to refine his style across four impressive and infectious tracks for the label.
Across all four cuts (two on vinyl, and two digital-only), Ernesto shows off his uniquely grooving, percussive style. In a former life, he might have marched in a samba school: shakers and noisemakers fall in a steady stream over carefully tuned percussion of every shape, size and caliber; with his slippery rhythms and swerving syncopations, you're left with the impression of a parade of drummers from around the world, marching in lockstep down Berlin's slick cobblestones.
"Hunted," the most upfront of the four tracks, lays out a rollicking groove punctuated by hiccupping toms; choppy vocal samples serve as invocations to move, while rushing waves of reverb flesh out the tune's ample dimensions. A simple repeated chord provides the final one-two punch. Perfect for any hour, this promises to illuminate any set like a Brazilian sunrise.
"Caleza" finds Ernesto digging even deeper into his bag of tricks. Crafty polyrhythms merge into a snaky cadence that keeps evolving at every step; midway through, mallet-like tones break out into a triumphant and surprising melodic lead. With its lush wooden tones, this is an anthem in tribute to anyone that's ever shaped anything with their bare hands.
"Copina" is even more melodically inclined, with a plucky synthesizer lead recalling some of Luciano's early work; the groove is pure house, but the song's overall mood could only come from someone deeply schooled in South American music. It says something about Ernesto's talent that even his digital bonus tracks can serve as proper A-side material; the same is true of "Stone," a moody, murky number that hides chanting voices and eerie, alien scraps of song in its shadowy corners. With his passport already bursting with stamps, Ernesto adds one more with "Stone": an exit visa to another world.
