amon tobin continued his adventures with the breakbeat on out from out where, his fourth album. darker, more complex, even more rhythmically driving and intense than ever before, this huge record cemented tobins reputation as one of the most innovative and important names in dance music today.

music is about passion, not competition. in this spirit the something vinyl series continues again with another stl record in his diy do-what-you-wanna-do style, including 3 house tracks aswell as a astro-science thrilling farspace interlude and loop introductions. the ascetic elements on this ep are the result of an isolated one man musical universe, where the love and passion for sound research is perhaps the strongest driving force behind the machines output. a bit of squelchy mircowave-acid, some sunny analog sequences and someting that seems to come out of a lovely b-movie track, where humanoids moving death proof onto the dancefloor feeling addicted to the groove. something 18 is probably that kind of vinyl which can be enjoyed the most when the time has come to loose yourself and let things flow into the positive. this 12 inch comes in limited quantities of 500 copies and is dedicated to all believers of the something vibe.

2 track 7 inch vinyl complete with locked grooves courtesy of eglos chief scientist of sound - floating points. check! with each release the young mr shepherd seems to go deeper and further left as he combines a dancefloor aesthetic with his sonic explorations through sound and colour… its weird science brought to life in the most beautiful of ways.

this ep was formed with a concept in mind that involves a natural phenomenon occurring in various / different fields of science and nature - anti-parallelism. as the word suggests, anti-parallelism describes the natural relationship between two occurrences, objects or even non-material things, that are virtually identical and yet oriented in different directions. during the time the music was made i was researching natural phenomenons like this one. naturally, this became part of the nucleus, fabric and inspiration for this work. in genetics, for example, if the >antiparallelity< is corrupted during the process of dna replication it is called a mutation. this mutation can be anything from totally inconsequential to critical for the survival of the whole living organism. a double helix of dna contains two helixes, that are naturally anti-parallel to one another. in physics this could be two of the same objects moving through space and time in opposite directions - just like the instruments or parts of a beat in electronic music production. so metaphorically speaking, anti-parallelism holds a natural balance to keep it safe and stable. although this might sound all very conceptual and theoretical this music is obviously just what it is - it is not intended to teach math, physics or biology in any way. the above mentioned aspect has simply found its way through my head and might have led to a piece of music that somehow, at least for me, is connected to these thoughts. it might evoke something very different for you

so who wrote them, the rules of love? omar s and colonel abrams ask this important question and need your help to answer it - for science!

a true showcase of vesicles creativity, versatility and dark bassline science, the we are lost ep contains 4 deep and dark dubstep excursions and makes a strong case for this finnish duos inclusion among the genres best and brightest of the new generation of sound visionaries. the title track we are lost is a beautiful, dark anthem combining haunting vocals with live guitars, intricate melodies, precision drum programming and fat slabs of bass. the result is a well-rounded, catchy and melancholic masterpiece. smoke curls switches up the program, engulfing the listener in deliberately lo-fi sound fx and percussion whilst conjuring up deeply emotional, melodic bliss by juxtaposing a dusty piano with a soaring, distorted, filtered leadline of 8-bit chiptune charme. destined to become a dark breakstep anthem,mythos harks back to the late 90s metalheadz sound with its epic synthlines, eery vocals and massive, growling reece bass constructions. redemption completes this vicious circle with a journey to the depths of darkness, attesting to vesicles true mastery of uniquely filthy bassline construction on this stripped-down vision of despair. to ensure that this ep looks as mindblowingly sick as it sounds, the vinyl release features stunning, limited-edition full sleeve artwork!
