This is what test tube said about this release
«The music scene is really a beautiful thing. There are plenty of interesting things to find, even in the underground scene in which test tube is moving, the netlabel scene. We're very proud here, at test tube's, to release each and every artist that comes to us with a really original and captivating work, but occasionally, there is one that really stands out of the crowd. We proudly present Lezrod's 'Seleccion Natural', a four piece EP by Colombian man David Velez, artist and friend, who crafts fantastic electronic constructions, pretty much in the way architects craft houses and buildings. David loves classic Jazz and Funk, IDM electronics, Contemporary Music and Film music. And it shows. 'Dubid' and its laidback jazz drums, cinematic ambient streams and software glitches is a bliss to our senses. We just let go, gently, watching the movie, tasting the stuff, until 'Apoc' comes forward. 'Apoc' pays a little homage to an IDM artist, who introduced David to synths and to the sounds widely known as electronic music. Its first seconds contain a vocal sample from him. From there it goes to the heart of the machine. This one is technologically cold, with static noises bursting everywhere. Impressively strong and strict and experimental. 'Re' keeps trailing the 'Apoc' path. More experiemntal noise and IDM crossover, glitches abound, impromptus with religious weight. Awesome, this one, strong personality and heavy as ever. Finally, 'Adios' sends us home. David returns to the beginning, and to where he's strong and at his best. Jazz flows again. The drums, people, the drums! With a deliberate melancholic tone, 'Adios' returns the listener to the starting point. The harmonic tones, the drum breaks, the digital glitches. This is what makes Lezrod's music Lezrod's music. The question that comes to mind now is: Are we ready for Lezrod's music?» - Pedro Leitão

Em apenas 2 anos, a netlabel Test Tube já lançou um impressionante número de álbuns e EPs em formato mp3. E, o mais surpreeendente, sempre com um nível de qualidade muito elevado. No quantum ducks já tinhamos destacado os lançamentos de Phoebus e Rui Gato, mas não deixamos de estar atentos ao output desta label. Chegou agora a vez de destacar o lançamento do EP de Lezrod, um colombiano fã de Brian Eno, John Coltrane e Autechre. Não raras vezes tem sido tentada uma ligação entre estes três mundos, o ambiental, o jazz e a idm, e Lezrod consegue de facto entrar nestes campos e lançar um EP rico nos detalhes e montado de uma forma irrepreensível. Cada samples é sequenciado e largado no exacto momento. Há muita frieza industrial e maquinal neste trabalho, mas isso não abala o outro lado deste EP, impregmentado de sabor a resistência num qualquer underground perdido na America Latina. Não vale muito a pena estabelecer pontos de contacto com outros músicos da America Latina como o Murcof. Por aqui há um sentimento personalizado que, contudo, é suficientemente universal para que este EP pudesse fazer sentido em qualquer parte do mundo. No fundo Lezrod também é um reflexo da tecnologia omnipresente que nos envolve e que atinge o mundo inteiro, seja ela representada pelo lado cibernético da internet ou pelo transito infernal das grandes metropoles da America do Sul..
