to progress towards a civilization which does not unconsciously perpetuate or aggravate inequality and poverty, we need to accept our many differences. for those who prefer uniformity or others who would rather avoid proximity, the celebration of diversity might sound ridiculous. a certain measure of discomfort is required to reach compassion. but peace through diversity is no prophet’s fantasy. it is no harder to imagine than the magical fact that we are alive right now. the eternal act of dancing is one of the most active form of contemplation. facing our own selves in the mirror of movement, we realize that we indeed are reflections of one another at all times. what will our own actions and thoughts feed around us? with over 30 years of combined dancefloor experience, possible futures have been witnesses to the wildest fauna and flora the great nocturnal jungle has to offer. sourcing their inspiration from the many shades of color that co-exist between black and white, it is through the open and eclectic selections of inspired and devoted luminaries that possible futures have found their manyfold sound: frankie knuckles, larry heard, francois k, carl craig, moritz von oswald, dj harvey, theo parrish, chez damier, ron trent, dj deep or moodymann, amongst so many others, have dedicated their lives to the flourishing of diversity on the dancefloor. while the minds of possible futures float in the air with their bodies rotating behind the turntables, their feet are steadily rooted in reality, enabling their musical knowledge to unfold beyond the night. through their own record label, possible futures share their therapeutic musical blends. the first two cuts come from the grooves of argentine old hand leonel, a family friend of long date. “antares” and “bunda” drag their dusty trails across different genres, to be enjoyed at 45 rotations per minute. curative properties guaranteed.

p.e.a.r.l. is no stranger to the weekend circuit inner circle. having released his desolation ep on the london label in 2015, his unique and refreshing productions slot comfortably in to the label s sonic aesthetic. pulsating, submerged field recordings and natural sounds bristle next to menacingly hewn tones, rhythms and textures, creating a strange and disorientating environment across 4 parts. ep opener body arched i encapsulates this alien-esque landscape, beckoning us into the p.e.a.r.l. sound-world. slowly unwinding drones gradually draw us in, layers of almost synthetic jungle sounds, field recordings and eerie atmospherics create images of unseen landscapes in our minds. one gets the impression that is merely the calm before the storm, it will be a long, dark and revealing night. second part body arched ii ups the ante considerably, a blistering assault on the senses. cavernous kick-drums dance with repeated synth lines and synewaves creating a narcotic, unforgiving and swirling miasma of epic proportions. body arched iii opens the second side of this formidable slab of vinyl. the energy levels are still high, the mood somewhat foreboding. unapologetic, urgent and oozing kinetic energy this 3rd movement continues on a journey that will sweep you deeper into the blackest night, all systems failed, flying blind. in the right hands a piece like this can wield colossal power. the fourth and final part of body arched taps into a more psychedelic vein, a minimalistic mantra-esque piece that continually spirals to the very outer edges of restraint. listen closely and you can hear the shamans feet kicking up dust in the clearing. a pensive and sparse piece and the perfect note on which p.e.a.r.l. will leave us bewildered.
