the third album from hamburg based bacao rhythm & steel band. the cd release includes 3 bonus tracks.

liquicityÕs continued success in the world of drum & bass hinges on their dedication to only the highest quality music, made and played by some of the best talent from around the world. the labels long awaited third installment of their flagship album galaxy of dreams is proof of this. this compilation series serves as the main showcase for the labels uplifting sound. with new and original tracks from both well know liquicity names (maduk, fox, veela, flite, rameses b) but also brand new talent (andromedik, polygon, itro, lexurus) and more all round drum & bass names such as ekko & sidetrack and dossa & locuzzed, this collection of tracks brings to you a uniquely uplifting, catchy & energetic listening experience. liquicity continues to release amazing music & throw amazing parties and festivals (liquicity festival 2018 has already been announced for this july, with an immense line-up).

features the same tracks in the same order. short info: since 2016, rŽmy poncet aka chevalrex sits among the top new french songwriters to watch thanks to futurism (vietnam, 2016), an intimate sophomore album critically acclaimed by the press and on which he plays all the instruments. wondering how one finds his/her place in todays world while staying true to him/herself, chevalrex offers his answers in this third album and leaves behind his minimalist compositions to raise his ambitions and push his music into a whole other dimension. recorded this time with additional musicians and even a whole string orchestra, anti slogan compiles ten songs meticulously crafted in which the worlds of jim orourke, vincent delerme, tindersticks and boris vian collides, showcasing a level of refinement hardly ever heard in the french pop scene.

liquicity records returns with second instalment of the alchemy series. the album showcases the immense talent of the labelÕs roster and its ability to develop that euphoric drum and bass sound.

much-celebrated kompakt staple the field returns to the spotlight with new album the follower, his fifth full-length offering after from here we go sublime (kompakt rsd 02 cd 57), yesterday and today (kompakt 193 cd 72), looping state of mind (kompakt 241 cd 94) and cupids head (kompakt 290 cd 110). swedish soundsmith axel willner is well-known for his mastery when it comes to the allusive layering of loops, but it was with his last album cupids head that a newly-found, somewhat pressing snappishness started to replace the soft-hued sonics of his ambient-infused techno, imbued with a darker mood and stronger footing than before. a carefully gauged balance of stoic motorik and gloomy drones was key here - just as it is for the follower which goes even further in blurring the lines between concrete experimentation, body music and precisely laid-out arrangement, leading to one of the most rhythmically and texturally engaging listening experiences in willners catalogue.
