about

Color Plus, aka Lars Probert, is a Brooklyn-based producer hailing from Connecticut. Following his 2015 debut EP on Plastician’s label Terrorhythm, he has released projects on several US labels like Cazeria Cazador Records, while also augmenting his sound through numerous self-releases. Color Plus delivers music that is hybrid and energized, yet ultimately self-possessed in its exploration of aural tensions. His knack for revivifying familiar sounds into fresh, buffeting compositions sparked attention among many auspicious vocal artists, including Eartheater, with whom he collaborated on her Trinity mixtape song ‘Preservation’, most recently featured in Mugler’s SS21 show.

Besides his own musical output, Lars is the founder of Towhead Recordings, the record label behind the ‘New York Dance Music’ compilation series (2020), and the ‘Slitherman Activated’ (2021) album of avant-garde rapper RXK Nephew, on which Color Plus produced almost every single track.

‘Lazersent’ marks Color Plus' debut on Slagwerk. Through 5 tracks, all written in 2020, he shows his bent for charging drubbing compositions with emotional expressiveness — a quality also to be found in releases under his ‘Laserguard’ alter-ego.

Considering its synesthetic title, it comes as no surprise that ‘Lazersent’ thrives on the channelling of energy. Color Plus rearranges the ever-recognizable aspects of club music into uptempo flight by means of abstracted, yet club-ready compositions. Digital synths carefully lift each other up, sparkling like laze amidst eruptions of amen breaks and rave stabs — a motif starting slowly in ‘Parsec’, but reaching full JP-8080 peak in ‘Memoria’.

The masterstroke of Color Plus lies in maintaining an earnest and anti-ironic tone throughout the EP, never becoming cloyingly sweet, or too strict for its own sake. It makes ‘Lazersent’ more than an elegy. It's a hope-demanding exercise for everyone longing for their precious club nights, prickling our insatiable need for self-fulfillment.
