PAN introduces Lifted

The collective talents of Max D, Jordan GCZ, Gigi Masin, Co La and more feature on the newly released 1.

The Lifted project is something we’ve been eager to hear fully since a few tracks popped up in the superb XLR8R podcast from Future Times captain Max D last August. A quiet request for further info from the press team at PAN at the time was met with the response, “all Bill (Kouligas) said was it’s a project called Lifted (Max D, Jordash, Gigi Masin + more guests),” and that was that. The prospect of these three artists working together had us excited and that’s perhaps why PAN have chosen to now issue the Lifted project without the usual album release fanfare.

Arriving today through our friends at Boomkat, Lifted is revealed to be an “ongoing collaborative” project conceived by Future Times man Max D and Matthew Papich, aka NNA Tapes and Software artist Co La, to “break free from the constrictions of the grid and exercise their versatility through improvised fusion”. Sessions for the album were recorded remotely in their respective DC and Baltimore studios with additional input later sought out from further afield. Along with overdubs from the aforementioned Gigi Masin and Off Minor man Jordan GCZ, the eight-track album 1 also features Motion Graphix, 1432 R co-founder Dawit Eklund, and Jeremy Hyman for additional synthesis, drumset and percussion.
