ostgut ton turns zehn with label compilation and thirty new tracks

the album itself features atmospheric techno ambient with scattered beats, lush electro that is filled with true electronic soul and cosmic soundscapes that come from another world. the art that comes with the lp is drawn from the artist s local area, where he takes great inspiration and influence, as he does from his frustrated funk label peers erp, versalife and plant43 to just name a few.

lakehead returns to nabla for a second release by evolving his rendition of unearthly ambient pads with a tasty three track ep. two parts testimonial, one part interpretation, this record emulates ‘90’s groovy techno with modern melancholic keys tantalizingly hovering over fog drenched surfaces. the a-side sees us start with ‘1991,’ an assertively murky tune that immediately intoxicates with the introduction of keys that manage to invigorate and remain melancholic. following bewitching synth work, a throbbing energetic bass line pieces this number together while releasing suppressed emotion. a true anthem! on the flipside, nabla welcomes zaphod salmon to the fore with a well-taken, minimalist approach in remixing ‘1991’. by sparingly using snippets of hi-hats, claps and snares, zaphod creates formidable tension in an onrushing build up. this mixture of harmonic sounds sensibly reintroduces key elements of the original in a sensation shrouded in suffocating haze. ‚workout trax’ maintains the straight-faced groovy vibe with intermittent bleeps and filthy cymbal work whose jacking undercurrent will keep your feet moving. with its rhythmic nature beat, ‚workout trax’ represents machine funk at its finest. like the moon the strength of its gravitational pull will create a powerful tide swiping unsuspecting subject towards the dancefloor, whetting your appetite by precisely ending when the hypnotic swirl begins to form

nabla is a mathematical function that when applied, gives a multi-dimensional figure the ability to have many slopes in different directions. like the label’s name, the artists’ of nabla interest in all genres and textures will reflect in the varied nature of their future releases. for its first release, nabla artist lakehead continues the well-trodden path between techno and sci-fi but with a more eerie waif-like approach. raw lo-fi influences impose themselves through interesting percussive mechanics and ghost-like synths in a1. the ambient weightlessness of a2 gives way to a greater intensity on the b-side. the offbeat delivery on b1 is guided along industrial sounding landscapes while heavy metal hi-hats and trance-like melody of b2 rounds off a versatile first release
