vinyl only !! of course!! more than a year after his last ep, quarion returns to retreat for a fantastic expedition: a journey to the >moons around jupiter<. consisting of four tracks dedicated to the four galilean satellites, >moons around jupiter< is a sonic masterpiece that blurs the lines between house, techno, broken beat and disco. a certain detroit mystique (the futurism & outer space themes) also surrounds this mesmerizing ep which quarion himself ranks as possibly his best work to date … come and take a ride! we may share the ultimate bond with the moon europa: the presumption of oceans underneath its crust of ice as well as an atmosphere that is mostly filled with oxygen make this satellite a good candidate for possible extra-terrestrial life (more micro-organisms than 3-eyed aliens though). quarions >europa< hopes to reveal the secrets underneath the ice layer: beginning with a skippy beat and a tinkling piano, the track evolves rapidly as subtle keys and a cosmic choir appear from beyond.

after their hot contributions for treats vol. 2, session victim prove indeed that they are on the roll with a funkafied and no holds barred ep that pays homage to their hip-hop roots. move me so starts rather simply, with just a guitar and a vocal, but you can hear a moving bassline and distant rhodes chords creeping up from the background. two minutes into the track and theres still no kick drum, although the level of excitement produced by the magnetic groove is almost unbearable. a filtered drum break finally gives way to a four to the floor beat that should turn any dancefloor into a frenetic party. the track builds with high energy, as the pounding bassline seems to be directly lifted from an early 90s hip-hop classic. the breakdown sees the vocal/guitar loop being played differently until the second part shifts gear and brings more surprises in the mix with the intro rhodes chords coming in and out.

nick lapiens debut release as metropolis garnered little attention when it materialized last year. a skeptical yet dedicated network of underground heads built up a subterranean buzz that has yet to spread into the daylight. that initial transmission was thick with the raw analogue flavors that have become ever-present in dance floor fare recently—but his is a sound that is dedicated to the emotive, narrative aspects of electronic music rather than simple fetishization or passing curiosity in the days of yore. this, his second release as metropolis, shows a more focused and patient hand at work. the titular track on the a side is a deep, psychedelic groover. melodies, textures and sequences undulate and intertwine within a lightless atmosphere guided by lapien with optimum restraint. equally pensive and gorgeous, the flood serves as a machine’s beat-less foil on the reverse. made up of little more than feedback and two slow, echo laden arpeggiated sequences, this is reminiscent of jean michel jarre’s more sinister moments: a brilliant paradox of economy and indulgence. expect to hear more from lapien here at sequencias. he has many more dark corners left unexplored.

londons powell works with opposites, in a way that is delightfully disconcerting. his tracks, on the surface, seem relatively uniform - but listen closer, or at punishing volume, and they teem with detail: wiry guitars, sinister yelps, synth figures that fizz like bubbles through sparkling water. across two eps in 2012 for his own diagonal label and one for death of rave in 2013, he has established himself as one of the uks most unique electronic musicians.

diynamic musics newest release, a full self-titled album by stimming, once again shows why this labels artists are some of the most renowned in the music scene. pacing through the snowy sand white beaches that leave marks behind every step seagulls chirping, and suddenly a steady bass appears as waves crash onto the beach. a dream-like state begins, and as the beat sets in, you are lost in the sounds of stimming. his new album was born in this very state of mind, on the beaches of the baltic sea, during a 5-week retreat from reality in the winter of 2012.
