Ella Pericles

Tic, tic, tick. The new Pericles album drops at midnight and I feel like we’ve been waiting for ages!

For centuries the soul of Pericles has been searching; selectively sourcing incarnate bodies that have served him in his quest for a unified consciousness. As the arms of time swing into alignment on the cosmic course of creation, Pericles has found a vehicle with which he can finally share the ancient knowledge he has amassed during his travels. Ancient Desert tells the tumultuous story of a universe, torn from the ether and tossed into existence. Having become an ever expanding system of sacred beings, desperately drifting through the sands of time; our universe has created for us a key to unlocking the treasures of tomorrow. The vibrations that Pericles has channeled here will serve to share with us the lessons, learned over millennia, in order that we may one day return to that beautiful unity from which we were born.

Since his inception into the consciousness of Pericles in 2007, South Carolina’s premier bass producer has released two full length albums along with quite a few mixes and compilations from labels including Abstract Logic Recordings, Waveform Modulations, Glitch.FM and Vermin Street. With his heart burning a space in his soul, Pericles represents the Wondrous Temple of Boom, and has played at South East burns such as Transformus and Alchemy. Artists that have shared the stage with this energetic creature include Shpongle, Ott, The New Deal, Nasty Nasty, Freddy Todd, Ana Sia, Alex B, Ben Samples, Pretty Lights, Eprom, Mochipet, Big Gigantic, Ooah, Quetzatl, Eliot Lipp, Signal Path, and Conspirator.

With remixes by Freddy Todd, Charlie P, and Brad Bitt, Ancient Desert will not go unnoticed. Check out this teaser tune, and pick up the whole album when it releases on BeatPort tomorrow! - Ganjaology

Hollow futuristic landscapes of sterile sands; long dusted travels between scattered pockets of rare tribes and sun battered outposts; ancient meccas of mechanized populations, wired for collectivity; This is the world borne to Pericles’ new release, Ancient Desert, a lushly atmosphered realm, with bass clouds and sparkling synth storms raining down.
Asheville’s Pericles has a small fortune of music under his belt: a debut album on Waveform Modulations, 3 self-released compilations, official mixes on Abstract Logic Recordings and Glitch.FM, numbers compilation appearances alongside Freddy Todd, Samples, Mochipet, Encanti, d-Queue, Alinging Minds, Galax-C Girl, Quetzatl, and s many more.
In addition to a steady output of beats and treats, he also represents with the Wonderous Temple of Boom, a burner collective of ancient werewovles in Asheville. - Unhearduv

“Crank up the volume for this Lost in Sound exclusive mix from the Charleston, SC producer PERICLES. Heavy hitting from the start and full of dance party energy, this mix is for the arm swinging two-steppers. PERICLES intertwines squishy, futuristic dubstep and crunk with outer space vibes and a touch of gangster status bedouin life. The concoction leads me to believe the samples were recorded in the midst of a gun fight on the planet Tatooine.” - Lost In Sound
