rivulet records are continuing their release just where the compilation at the beginning of the year left us. again bringing 4 artists together on one release shifting between dusty, mellow house and some how twisted techno. peonies from russia, who has been releasing tapes on his own label summer night since 1 year, sets the mood for the record with his track soft light which sounds almost like a dim, fading memory of a club night full of classy house records. the rework by ital, the head behind lovers rock from new york, builds up the mood in a complete different, driving and technoid atmosphere. the b-side is the first cooperation between two very old friends, berni from trier and jonas palzer from berlin, both part of portray records. their tracks are playing with the same kind of hauntology as the aside, building up a sound that is familiar and distant in the same way - referring to old records by boards of canada as well as to the contemporary sound of house at its best meaning.
