Imaginary Part - Machine Learning (2018)

Museek Records is an Italian label with a simple but honest philosophy: if the music is good and they dig it, they'll release it. To date, it's meant the label has flirted with a range of different sounds, with the general consensus being that their way of working has emitted some staggeringly impressive results to date. A similar thread courses throughout the diverse sounds of their latest. This time about, it comes at us from Davide Cuoghi aka Imaginary Part, a relatively elusive producer with but a few releases to his name so far. Machine Learning is his debut LP - and it truly is a joy to behold. Davide takes inspiration from a mathematical notion vis his alias, as in mathematics complex numbers are made from a real part and an imaginary part. Without the imaginary part they are purely real. Imaginary Part is an escape from reality, taking inspiration from ambient, downtempo and abstract soundtracks.
