Influenced by Lebanese culture, these offbeat cuts are quietly hypnotic. Lebanese Australian producer Jarred Beeler made a name for himself by combining elements of traditional Lebanese music and wider Middle Eastern rhythms with itchy cues from across dance music subgenres. His second album as DJ Plead—and first for Smalltown Supersound—is even more unique, manifesting only after he had scrapped a finished LP and allowed label head Joakim Haugland to sift through more than 100 incomplete (and sometimes improvisatory) recordings that Beeler had never planned to release. That makes Please feel all the more unguarded as it quietly shifts gears to explore uncharted territory. The opening “Return to Deuce” would suit a moody film score, while “Unforced Error” is an ambient outlier that couches café-style background chatter. “pa700” mingles spidery, treated string instruments with drowsy beats and synth washes, only for the subliminally funky “Sush” to almost dissipate altogether. More ephemeral and personal in vibe than 2021’s Relentless Trills, these quietly absorbing pieces play like a surreal session of late-night channel surfing.
