Ray Valioso is a new project by Swiss producer Agnès. 'Einladung EP', the debut Ray Valioso release, sees Agnès shifting away from his usual deep, minimal techno territory to explore more house-influenced rhythms and textures. 'Einladung EP' features three varied pieces: 'Get The Strings?' builds with loose, stuttering, metallic percussion playing over a locked bass/organ pulse before opening out into a beautifully detailed mix of chords, high strings and clipped vocal parts. 'Keep It' is a minimal percussion-based track of clicky kick drums and shuffling out-of-time hi-hats. 'Rhodes Island' rides on a warm, repetitive chord sequence that refers back to the classic Basic Channel/Chain Reaction template. Agnès runs the Geneva-based label Sthlmaudio Recordings. Launched in 2003, Sthlmaudio has released tracks by Agnès, Puma, Octex, Apoll, Cabanne, Croatian producers Luka & Lazo and UK duo Tom Demac & Duckett. Agnès also has a well received EP on Cabanne's Minibar label ('Treat Me Bad') and a new release on Plak Records. He has recently started a new label, 60Sec, in collaboration with French producer and fellow Geneva resident Lee Van Dowski (Num Records, Cadenza, Plak, Mental Groove, Soma, BPitch Control).
