The Brooklyn producer has swept up some of his first ever productions to compile a striking debut full-length.

Marcos Cabral, who’s known for his disco-flavoured house output and as one half of Runaway (with Jacques Renault), offers up a very different style on False Memories, a double LP out now on Ron Morelli’s excellent L.I.E.S. imprint.

The 14 tracks on the album were recorded straight to cassette between 1998 and 2000 using Acid Loops software and a Roland MC-303, and while they’re about as raw as that description sounds, they also feel strikingly contemporary in the context of the recent avalanche of dusty, lo-fi techno.

“I knew nothing about making music [in 1998] and was using this fairly primitive wav looping program called Acid,” RA reported earlier in the year. “I just started recording my crappy Roland MC-303 into my computer and would just mash loops together over and over. Listening to these tracks now, I have a really vague memory of making them, and feel that their naive nature and the happy accidents that happened here are pretty exciting to listen to.”

The False Memories double-LP is now streaming via XLR8R – play it below:
