Gacha Bakradze
Pancakes
Gacha Bakradze releases his third album on Lapsus entitled ''Pancakes'', and while the name may
appear conventional at first glance, it actually contains esoteric philosophical concepts.
The Georgian producer perceives the making of pancakes -a transformative and healing parental
activity that he loves to partake in with his son- as a metaphor for alteration, metamorphosis and
change. A reflection that also accentuates the importance of balance during each process of
preparing a simple recipe, which in turn highlights key human attributes such as patience, attention
to detail and willingness to adapt to shifting circumstances.
On a sonic level, Gacha's new album embodies precisely that: the contextual reworking of his
music, while maintaining the essence of his previous work. ''Pancakes'' provides the typically
melancholic yet vibrant genetics already recognisable in his music, but also embraces new genres,
including his unique and personal take on hyper-pop and trance. It is an album of contrasting
elements, where bucolic interludes make way for heavier tracks that are more suited to a club
environment, an aural universe that hybridises IDM, electro, bass music and cutting edge techno,
and once again demonstrates that trying to pigeonhole Gacha Bakradze's sound is a somewhat
fruitless task.
