Australian producer Sa Pa reveals his new album Ambeesh on Matthew Kent's imprint Short Span. Arriving five years after 'In A Landscape' on Mana, and nearly a decade since his epic experimental techno debut 'Fuubutsushi' on Giegling sub-imprint FORUM, Ambeesh pulls together a previously hidden body of work of abstract ambient dub techno. Artwork by The Designers Republic.

Written between 2014-2019 and long held in reserve awaiting the right moment for release, the album has often been grouped conceptually as a follow up to his FORUM debut. There’s a strong through line connecting the unique language and liveliness of ambient, layered field recordings, and dub techno found in those earlier records, as well as the seamless skydive through pressure formations found in the Enter Sa Pa production mix, which hinted at several of these tracks.

These pieces have taken time to surface and fully catch the light, but there’s still little else that compares. It’s a cache of some of his deepest and most texturally thrilling music, some of which have been rattling around in our ears and minds and conversation for years and have now found the right home and time. Forward thinking and singular in its combination of atmosphere; Ambeesh can press on the body at the right volume, and moves in thrust and riposte with the listener’s circadian rhythms. Sa Pa continues to dissolve the border between club-informed experimentation and intimate headphone listening.
