travis stewart is a producer whos always been admired by the electronic cognosenti, both as a solo producer in his project machinedrum and also as one half of sepalcure on hotflush recordings. after a break from producing he started to resurface in a major way last year with the -many faces e.p.- on glasgows luckyme label. however, for -room(s)-, his latest album on planet mu, he s well ahead of the curve, approaching the album in a way he s never worked before.the tracks on room(s) were started on the spur of the moment, often whilst traveling and finished in the studio, with the notion in mind that great moments of inspiration are fleeting so its best to grab on to that moment when it happens and squeeze it for all its worth. travis says of this process, -i feel like the energy of a song is lost the longer you spend working on it. this experiment in becoming less attached to my work essentially lead to a lot of songs that are connected sonically and aesthetically.-

hectic times require adequate measures. shorten the text message, shorten any url, filter a newsfeed to make a broadband broader - in any way, take a shortcut wherever you intend to go. while the world is struggling for convenience, those who chose the road less travelled will soon become - or already are? - outsiders. in many ways this is the case of jacek sienkiewicz - with over 30 releases behind, and over a decade of running his own label, he persistently followed his very own path, creating music that very soon began to be impossible to define. friendly, but not fraternizing with everyone and his family, modest, but stubborn only in a positive way, jacek is an individual with clear, personal vision and an unorthodox approach to music - light years away from the hectic, utilitarian ethos of club-derived electronic beats. and this story finally took shape - at the same time rock solid and otherworldly ethereal - in the form of “on the road , without any doubt one of the few rare records, this complex and challenging, to be derived in recent years from the music formerly known as techno. this album successfully attempts to embrace virtually all aspects of modern electronic music - from rave-like club bangers, through detroitish passion and deep house-like style, towards ambient soundscapes that are mariana trench deep
