foam fangs could be a term used to describe silks preferred take on that too-easily dismissed 70s dancefloor dementia of disco – the soft bite, love nibble, mirrorball on steady/ready perma-revolve. jesse reiner (jonas reinhardts first mister, alongside past/part-time collaborators like phil manley of trans am and damon palermo of mi ami/magic touch), who never quite had the kranky krinkle of his ohm-ambient labelmates, travels head-on, tomorrowland-style, through long-form cosmic moroder constellations of >foam fangs<. nothing frothy about it, though there is a bit of the rubbery in reiner’s bounce-about, cool, funky kraut-disco. suddenly we are beaming back to a time when the world looked forward, envisioning a 21st century decked with silver, chrome, and neoprene. it is a sonic space both transparent and shiny, the metallic ding and cold ribbon of data, scrolling through infinite space. the opener, >foam fangs<, transports us instantly into an ever-expanding universe of sound and light at once fanning out and folding in on itself. variations on that theme continue as the jonas journey oscillates through the beat-beyond.

new stuff from o*rs and break the surface! the two leipzig-based record labels team up for a split release praising fresh disco und happy hooklines. metasound & lucius14 on their side of the record show us what a laid back, soft and fizzy alternative to ordinary dancefloor music should sound like. o*rs comes with panthera krause on the one and dominik marz & leon holstein on the other hand. first spins the knobs in marbert rocel, the latter are the hope of the new house bastion in germany – augsburg

foreign sunrises are always inspiring an artist. festival gigs with amazing music and extraordinary people making you feel the real magic of electronic music. einmusik packed all those things and made a dreamy and mysterious ep called >damgala<. only two tracks coming up, but they are special and wistful - nothing more is left to say about the feelings of an artist traveling all over the world since months. >damgala< itself is a song with unsettling synths, an undulating baseline and rolling drums. the breaks are so strong and suprising and you will never forget this sensuous chorus. >st.anna< is the second number on the ep. it is made by mars leder and einmusik. they meet each other on several parties in berlin. mars, a young and talented dj also plays a lot of instruments and so they made a studio session with different sequences. the guitar is clear and melancholic, the synths are soft and the bass is catching you. close your eyes and feel the song without being prejudiced by some words.

lectric sands drops another sick 12 inch this time with 3 cuts from zoovox. the title cut brings vintage drums with organic piano chords and a subtle guitar shred. splash wave is a raw track with soft synth backdrops and an areggiated line. gymnesian dawn is a dub of the main mix.

the chant: galloping monster with a cheeky bounce thats made all the more mega with the vocal energy.plz dont squeeze: pressurised squashed sound snippets tousle across the beats leaving the synths to breathe and soar. let this untamed tune free to expand across the club systems – and what ever you do, plz dont squeeze.nebulae: dream away on this interstellar cloud of soft vocals and floating grooves that moves you progressively towards dance heaven.

ladies and gentleman: der dritte raum is back - and this time, its not only with new sounds in well known krüger style, but also with a new label platform: der dritte raum records! fresh and dreamy, thats the sound of the first release, with four tracks full of groove, warmth and the distinctive der dritte raum-funk on board. on all tracks of this release andreas krüger proves he has a firm hold on his analogue machinery - as always - but also shows his connection to contemporary machine music as well as krautrock and psychedelic sounds. inspired by his band project von trips, numerous analogue recordings entered the new material. wre ready to take on summer with this first release on our new label: warm layers and playful details skillfully surround the swinging grooves - you can almost feel the soft breeze of a beautiful summer night touch your skin. just wonderful.

opening track >what i do< introduces the ep on a poignant note with its sombre keys and emotive vocal flourishes without forsaking any of the force at its fingertips, driven by the bubbling subs and electric midrange. >fall< then sweeps in on a lush bed of glistening keys, soft vocal flourishes and a skipping drum line before crashing back down to earth with waves of warping bass tones blasting through the low end of the track. counterpointed by the soaring synth notes that flicker above, mydas balances the light and dark elements brilliantly.

sixth release of the promising imprint focussing on warm and soulful vibes between house, soul and downbeat. some well known producers showing their soft skills with own productions or edits / re-works they ever wanted to do. vinyl only! limited edition of 500 copies in clear plasticsleeve.

anja schneider collaborate once again with close friends to muster, remix and vocalize for anja schneiders little creatures, the 94th release to boot! mobilee label-chief, anja schneider and bpitch wingman, kiki, solely dominate the release with minimal beats, in sync claps, soft baselines and a deep blow of infernal lyrics heavily breathing out, are you a saint or are you a sinner?

inspired by the wise words: the moment you start seeing life as non-serious, a playfulness, all the burden on your heart disappears. - osho nansen: the point of departure chapter 8.
playfulness, sees the talented german duo in fine form, turning in a slice of skipping house that welds organic percussion to a heavily electronic groove that slowly unfurls into a warm, synth-led number that owes as much to chicago as it does to european micro-house. combining fat melodic sub bass grooves, alongside intelligent layers and synch patterns, creating the perfect dance floor journey for the music purist.

the final track of this release is an unusual track with at least an unusual name intelligent gum, which took a worthy area of the second side of vinyl. first of all, this track is remarkable duration of sound. despite the fact that it’s track so long lasting, but this it wants to listen again and again! it is quite hypnotic. soft as wadding and tasty as a chocolate with a delicious taste of liquor. in the course of listening you will find a lot of mystery and surprises for you, just enjoying the taste of chocolate with liquor.

double 10 inch release, pressed on transparent green vinyl.

140 gramm vinyl. alex agore and tenderpark - it just had to happen. although alex is not all soft and tender, above his tuff and powerful garage beats it’s all sweetness. with his sugary chords and piano hooks as well as heavenly soul vocals alex demonstrates his deep love for harmonic richness and melodic sensitivity. a passion for the soulful side of house and a soft spot for pop - that’s what alex and tenderpark share and what makes them a perfect team. and a little bit of relaxed instrumental hip hop is the icing on the cake of this record and another joint love between the two.

new sounds from troubled kids city. it is gonsev return time. after his southafrica trip, gonsev bring us three fantastic deep tracks. soft sounds, lovely pianos and a lot of deep house. masterpiece from gonsev soul.

after the smooth sonic assault of invisible sunrise, seahawks dive deep and return with the immersive aquatic opus that is tender abyssin the tradition of oceanic soundscapes by the likes of dolphins into the future and jurgen muller, seahawks have created a deep listening experience that takes you way down beyond the mariana trench. part one reveals a world of storms, where wild encounters and unexplained phenomena precipitate aquatic hallucinations. part two illuminates an underwater world of wonder, a sensory cornucopia, where soft vistas unfurl as the mind relaxes in an ocean of bliss. take a deep breath and enter the tender abyss. as always with seahawks releases the album is beautifully packaged and extremely limited.

is it balearic continue to provide a steady supply of killer 12 inches! next release from is it balearic..? comes courtesy of basels nu disco wizards pharoa black magic. the track amulet features the vocal talents of peter coyle of the lotus eaters. this is a mid tempo mellow electronic/balearic pop groove. beautifully produced to create a sublime understated sunshine anthem. top drawer remixers are present and correct as always: begin takes the original and creates a deep balearic groove with marimbas and soft synth melodies. reverso 68 add trademark arpeggios and dance it up a touch whilst original balearic pioneer steve proctor rearranges the track into a big chugging acid disco groove.

aura go rises, opens, rouses not unlike a soft light growing to illumination, a day slowly revealing itself. synths whisper and ring out – like bells marking an early hour – at the start, followed by a succession of other awakenings: a palpitating beat, vocalizations that repeat like undulations, percussive poundings and ringings. it all leads to full on, acid-infused, dance floor hypnosis, with producer dennis dj mcnany pushing polyrhythmic, almost tribal beats to the very front. with the addition of husky vocals from collaborator jee young sim – imagine siouxsie sioux crossed with planningtorock – the sound becomes something altogether, and altogether unexpectedly, gorgeous.

last year s acclaimed sea power & change ep, a melancholic project from the mind of celebrated portuguese powerhouse tiago, is now revisited through the lens of three essential esp institute artists. side a gives us a take on strange fruit by our heroes soft rocks — a smacked up dub/boogie rendition leaving the beautifully dark mood intact whilst twisting the the rhythms toward the tough side. on side b, secret circuit (eddie ruscha of laughing light of plenty, and soon to release his solo release for esp) stuffs wild combination in his saddle and takes us for a ride through a futuristic version of the wild west with a funky bassline and distant whistles, only to be rounded out by a blissed-out epic re-rendering of yesterday is gone by somberero galaxys jonny nash. its a family affair.

kindness throws his net in a wide arc when it comes to inspirations for his debut album: phoenix style soft-pop, 80s electro-boogie, arthur russell-tinted balearic, beatdown house, synth-pop.

m_rec ltd is proud to welcome on board cassegarin, greek-british producer tsiridis and berlin/vienna based composer and producer evirgen. in this new vinyl m_rec ltd, they show two original tracks and a remix by ed davenport. the a side opens with a painter of modern life, a track where they paint their perfect rhythm of modern life. a sequence of hypnotic techno where the rhythms are never heavy, clean sound. a brilliant and apparent melody seems to revolve around. a touch of class that only few can maintain.complete the a side, a remix of an artist who has a lot of quality: ed davenport (figure spc, liebe detail, nrk music, etc.) he drags the original track into a vortex of syncopated rhythms and deep atmospheres, the groove that comes out is amazing. on the b side cassegrain show one track. palette is very techno, the rhythm is direct and straight without stopping. light and soft sounds rise up slowly. everything is transformed into a pleasant trip, exciting and alive.

for a blink of an eye shhhh leaves the mystical and foggy output to open its doors for floorburning loopfunk with a gypsy taste by no one else than german technoproducer sascha muller, an experienced senior in electroscene releasing his infinite creative output for some decades now. starting with the main theme >sommernachtstraume< (summernight dreams) and a video with handmade moulded plasticine characters it burns down the romanian street credibility at first glance. an additional remix by bluff with reminiscences to ancient hypnotic techno music as celebrated in cologne mid 90s closes the a-side while a new confusing journey starts on b-side. with its two hypnotic big city nightlife classical electro pieces >bangkok< and >future punk part ii< the soundtrack returns again and reveals a soft carpet full of robotic cyberpunk maelstrom for dancers and listeners after 6a.m. we welcome another new unexpected artist on shhhh, stating that eclecticism is not a bad word, but a desired place to be.

the mini album hope was another change in sound, and featured arrangements by sean o hagan, then of the high llamas. featuring six songs including a cover of leonard cohens >winter lady<, oldhams voice is set in a reflective and soft-hued sound throughout.

in advance of the release of dapayk & padbergs third full-length sweet nothings - this time round on stil vor talent - the experienced duo are teasing us with the fluffy cloud ep, which showcases three of the album’s many diverse highlights, while keeping the vinyl lovers happy. the a-side bears the lps title track >sweet nothings<, on which dapayk & padberg’s sound takes a turn as they come knocking with a deep but forceful groover, whose distorted high-hats and trancey synth stabs create a vibe both euphoric and weirdly subdued. the lyrics, moreover, emphasise the duality at the core of many dapayk & padberg tracks as the latter ponders ‘you’re good for me - you’re bad for me’. showing another of the duo’s many facets, ‘backyard’ enchants thanks to mystical lyrics sung beautifully over a deep quasi-dubstep structure. marking the ep’s mid-point, the atmospheric song shines through intricately crafted fragility and is the perfect contrast to the previous and following track, while leaving a strong desire for more stuck in the listener’s mind. on the b-side, ‘fluffy clouds’ does quite the opposite to what its title suggests - rather than being a soft little piece, we are treated to big-room techno fodder à la berghain. a skeletal framework of heavy kicks, dark pads, white noise and dense metallics works relentlessly underneath a cold spoken word, proclaiming >not human, not animal - just a body in motion<. machine funk par excellence.

whomadewho, notoriously named after 1986s album by ac/dc, have always been hard to pin down, with their music sounding as effortless as it is stylistically and sonically adventurous. fusing pop and disco memes with punk paraphernalia, the genre-bending trio made up of jeppe kjellberg, tomas høffding and tomas barfod honed their skills on stage and in the studio, releasing a series of bestselling records topped off by their 2011 mini album >knee deep< on kompakt. now they return with the sublime full length >brighter<, due in early 2012 and shaping up to be one of next years highlights. its first single >inside world< is prime stuff as expected…jeppe kjellbergs characteristic vocal hit the pop-nerve in the verses while tomas høffdings soft falsetto holds the song together. second to none is the exclusive flipside, which features a grandiose acoustic version of >inside world< graced by the warm baritone from john grant, former lead vocalist with indie outfit >the czars< and critically acclaimed solo artist. clearly sharing his pivotal vision of pure craftsmanship and musical ingenuity, whomadewho never settled for streamlined mediocrity, thus churning out another instant classic that will rule our hearts and minds.

another epic seahawks voyage and this time theyre heading for the deep ocean of outer space. the results have been likened to the klfs chill out album performed by astroanuts. yep its that spacey but theres plenty of baked groove excursions along with the cosmic dinner jazz. imagine that instead of creating yah mo be there, michael mcdonald and james ingram hopped aboard a spaceship captained by sun ra and set the controls for alpha centauri. somewhere between the sea of tranquillity and the red heat of mars they find a party going on, klaus schulze is jamming with chic and peter frampton, kenny loggins is on bongos and the horn section from the doobie brothers are blowing soft and sweet but mike and jim have taken a whole lot of mind bending psychotropics and the music sounds like nothing theyve ever heard before. you are entering the seahawks universe, let your mind roam free. to ensure premium audio fidelity, the lp was mastered at abbey road and pressed at vinyl factory. as ever the artwork is beautiful and the edition is limited so get your skates on!

in the psychedelic late sixties there was a lively music scene in the canterbury area that revolved around the band the wilde flowers. they never recorded much themselves, however, but after they disbanded other influential bands were formed from their ashes: gong, soft machine, and, most importantly, caravan.
caravans eponymous debut was released in 1968. it was considered a groundbreaking album capturing the freakish and exploratory moods of the times. their sound went much further than the changing styles of the contemporary underground and that is what distinguished caravan from other bands in their genre.
pressing on 180 grams audiophile vinyl.

ruede hagelstein wants it all, and not just that jazz. the berlin producer, known for his productions that straddle the boundary between house on techno, released on labels like souvenir and upon you records, will release his debut album soft pack together with his band, the noblettes on november 18, 2011. a priori is the first track on the indie-electronic lp, and cannot claim itself free from jazz influences. with piano, a horn section, and brushed snares, the track swings with the best of them. since ruedes vocals also require something a little more dancefloor-friendly, this digital appetizer will be served up with a remix from the man himself. the vinyl will follow with remixes from guillaume & the coutu dumonts, noir and tiefschwarz.

this is mina records 9th release with masaya, label boss, finally in the spotlight on production, arrangement and singing duties. her first ep on her own label: >again / get you< both have a minimalist melancholy feel in the electro pop vein.
>again< is remixed by nhar, (frenchman who has just brought out his own ep on ripertons perspectiv label), giving it an 80s soft synth pop sound.
>get you< is remixed by yapacc, resulting in a deeply rhythmic tech-house stomper.
4 totally different tracks to suit various club contexts.

after the huge succes of its tenth release (davide squillace & guti), hideout is back with with the third slice of the deconstruction revisited series. this time, crocodile tears, which appeared on davide squillaces tutti frutti ep (ho003) got offered three amazing relectures. it all starts with mr robert dietz (cadenza, cecille ...), who delivers a super modern and energetic relecture, where intelligent synthetic percussions mess around with weird noises and processed effects. after two minutes a monophonic synths starts its battle with vocals from squillaces original to end up on a more minimal groove. gflame aka portugese techno start cisco ferreiras (the advent) relecture directly sets the tone: a nasty bassline with a crazy synth stab flies over a soft but very heavy techno beat, to evolve to an elegant tech house track (no bongos involved). finally sis, the man behind cocolino imprint, reinterpretation starts with a long intro with the kick dropping after more than 3 minutes. the melancholic feeling of the track builds into a very subtile beat with reverbered elements all over. the percussion layers and delicate melodic synths add some organic flavour to the music so the 14 minutes remix is never boring and takes you to a nice journey thru sounds. you can tell somebody was in love when making such a beautiful song. another must have from hideout!

! its awesome, its fresh, its bold, its jazz. dont blame us for not releasing this into the digital world but on vinyl only. this is a music-lover release! it comes strictly limited to 300 numbered pieces and is calculated as a break-even affair. so just be glad if you were lucky to catch one, play and make the crowd smile! yours sincerely its-jazz-project.

recorded over the past three years, across the creative trinity of berlin, brooklyn and the sleepy hollow town of hamilton, near niagara falls in ontario, canada, new looks self-titled debut album is a feverishly anticipated affair. the canadian future pop duo and real life couple, sarah ruba and adam pavao have an undeniable creative synergy, combining the stunning, synth-playing chanteuse and former model, 25-year-old ruba (previously shot by the likes of cult fashion provocateur bruce weber) and multi-instrumentalist, 31-year-old producer pavao. there is a confidence and wit to their songwriting, coupled with cosmic tweaks and soft synths underpinning their future pop aesthetic. its controlled yet wistful pop perfectionism.

synapsis records is back with a excursion into deep house with a new record from hakim murphy called moonbeam express ep. in this presentation there are three tracks that explore the deeper side of murphys subconscious in which he describes this vinyl sound as an express trip to the moon through cosmic textures, deep grooves, and subliminal funk. moonbeam express egins the journey of soft pads that beam you up to a nice bass sound, strings, and moving percussion. weep has deep pads that begin the piece as a melody, then strings, and bass soon follow to open up moods of deepness. flirt is an uptempo joint that begins with a smooth synth then proceeds into a piano riff that sneaks up on you and teases your eardrums. yeah taking it deep.

nice price deal !!! incl the mega track >in a blink of an eye< - pure euphoria! decks tipp.. it would be to easy to categorize satori as a techno producer. of course there were the clubhits with his partner in crime el mundo, there were long hot nights, exuberant dancefloors, pounding beats and pure ecstasy. but the person behind satori has another side, a side that also wants to pour his personal impressions into sound. meet in to void, a remarkable debut in every sense. forget about those dancefloors for a moment, the place where satori left his mark so clearly these last years. place yourself in the person djordje petrovic, born form a serbian father and south african mother, raised with balkan music, afrobeat, jazz and world music in all shapes and sizes. someone who educated himself in playing guitar and piano and also wants to showcase this other side of his music. produced in the moments in between his sessions with el mundo a series of tracks came about that characterize satori most accurately. deep, sensitive and worldly, but mostly compelling and utterly beautiful. in to void is a musical moodboard, an emotional blog if you like, where thoughts and impressions by djordje petrovic force themselves to you in a hypnotic trip, subtle but irresistible.

the next ep on germany s hello? repeat imprint comes from seuil, one of paris s most inspired underground producers. in terms of style, it is a match that could hardly be more perfect. hello? repeat has spent the past six years carving a niche for itself with eps from cabanne, audio werner and label co-founder daze maxim, plus acclaimed albums by bruno pronsato and kate simko. seuil, meanwhile, has put out a steady stream of ultra-deep 12-inches on labels like freak n chic and sammy dees ultrastretch. both specialize in a sound that is modern, understated and hypnotic. late call is exactly what its name suggests: a record made for the deepest, most tender portion of the night. the drums are slick and punchy, but the rest is woozy and romantic–this is one to put on when the crowd has stopped chatting and everyone s dancing with their eyes closed. topping it off is a vocal line made famous by diana ross but recited here by an androgynous diva: if you need me, call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far… dark, trippy and weirdly moving, this is one of seuil s finest tracks yet. >slow motion< strikes a similar chord but with a more subtle approach. here you notice seuil s rare touch for subtlety: in the absence of any real >hook<, he keeps the track moving with expertly sculpted drums, a warm half-melody and a gently propulsive beat. soft chords sustain in the background to create a balmy summer night feel. both tracks show seuil and hello? repeat doing what they do best: delivering something deep, functional and full of character.

safeword is an exciting new act comprising of 2 dedicated us-based producers, clint stewart and marc smith. their low slung, warm and sexy sound already gave way to one ep on paso music and now we find them really hitting their stride with their debut for dessous. lead track >you can you will< introduces us to safeword s world, a sleazy, percussive and intricate gel of textures, flavours and audio fetishes. punchy, bright production characterises this modern house jam. the eventual arrival of a deep and spritual melody is surprising and instantly turns the snaking drum tool of the introductory minutes into an anthemic, autumnal beauty. leading dessous and poker flat man phonique turns his hand to the title track with a cheeky, energetic remix. aimed at the floor we find a more uptempo groove at the heart of his mesmerising tech-house re-work. the soft bell tones floating throughout >tangent< are perfectly melancholic, while tough driving beats urge us forward, making the perfect partnership bewteen cinematic sound design and bass-heavy floor dynamics.

!!!mixmags tune of the month 5/5!!!
bot ox guys, cosmo vitelli and julien briffaz, perfect pair of its kind, return where they somehow belong: the dancefloor of a club. their remixes for other artists - logo, aladdin and even the unexpected toxic avenger - showed their soft spot for dancing, lately. this pair of tracks brings something special as they feature the foremost poets for the vocal part.. a figure of the underground dance music wall of fame, the foremost poets aka johnny dangerous is also a voice that techno and deep house lovers keep in a corner of their imagination: >i ll beat that bitch with a bat<, >reasons to be dismal<, >moonraker<, >pressin on<.... two versions of >perfect pair< are proposed along the most classical standards: an >original< one and a >dub< 13-minutes one. each of them have their own progressive, undated flavor

ltd warehouse find.. third release of the mysterious imprint focussing on warm and soulful vibes between house, techno and downbeat. some well known producers showing their soft skills with own productions or edits / re-works they ever wanted to do. vinyl only - limited to 500 copies worldwide! comes in clear plasticsleeve.

carefully caressing your back whilst whispering sweet nothings into your ear, pillowtalk join the life and death family with their modern dance soul hybrid, >the come back ep<. despite the name, its actually a debut ep -- and one that quickly establishes pillowtalks unique sound as an important voice in the new generation of contemporary dance music. already getting serious play (and props) from a wide range of djs, from the deep & soulful wolf + lamb and soul clap crews all the way to the banging bass centric justin martin, >the come back< finds life and death once again crossing the conventional genre descriptions with a true dancefloor bomb that everyone can get behind. imagine motown and classic doo-wop blended with a modern dance sensibility and you may start to get an idea of the pillowtalk sound. but its better to stop imagining and just have a listen because what these guys are doing is so genuinely unique, its not an easy one to pigeonhole with words and genre titles alone. the ep includes >the come back<, >soft< and >long lost friends< as well as a life and death remix of >soft<. put together in the life and death laboratories it brings a darker, deeper take on this beautiful and already incredibly sentimental dancefloor serenade.

having once said that daily life as well as adventurous trips across the globe were the source of her inspiration when making music, its obvious which recent event in the world of anja schneider formed the basis of her new ep on mobilee records. whilst she takes a well earned pause and enjoys a very new lease of life, >hello boy!< will hit the stores in october. for this release, she joined lee jones in the studio to make something with a twist. with a strong anja schneider flavour, title track >hello boy!< cleaverly transposes a real sense of excitement and waiting on to the dance floor, with soft mysterious chords and a steady build that works itself into a drop. >rio bravo< offers a relief with more of an airy head-spinning feel and >let me out< … well, its done now ,)

italian producer simone fedi, hailing from tuscany, takes things to a whole new level on this third release on eskimo recordings. >bitter devotion< is a vocal pop gem with a balearic tinge, but its bittersweet vocals and the addictive melody will haunt you. for this tune fedi, a multi-instrumentalist with a knack for pop music and a soft spot for vintage gear, joined forces with a mysterious singer named lola rent, and this turns out to be a winning team.
bitter devotion comes with a rather spectacular remix package, ewan pearson (known from his remix work for goldfrapp, chemical brothers, hot chip, moby, franz ferdinand and depeche mode to name a few) gave it the royal treatment. as an additional treat, welcome stranger aka thomas bullock (rub n tug, laughing light of plenty, map of africa, whatever we want records) has indulged in a psychedelic >bitter devotion< dub, analogue and live... just the way we like it.

repress 2015

out 26th of sept. mikkel metals new tartelet ep travels deep into the spectral voids of space. empyrean pads and raw drums reverberate in our ear meatus on cassini -soft kicks with shrill claps and a prodding bassline bringing back memories of mikkel metals earlier dubby excursions. phasing, relentless, and a favourite in the early hours of both the night and morning, cassini has everything needed to become a mainstay for all djs brave enough to venture beyond our known realms. mazurski, a galaxy of beaming details and radiant synthlines colour it deep, while the echoes of light gone by envelops the transient listener. following on the same side is the dub version (vinyl only), outlined by a scrapping kick, filtering sequences of sonic waveforms and abraded sub-basslines. all this rough beauty is fully submerged in a crystal pond of levitating strings and sparkling monotones. these cuts will transport you beyond, both in front of properly charged sound systems and laptop-powered earphones. referencing both the recently resurrected new age wave and the analogue power of london, mikkel metal has brought a completely new dimension to the tartelet universe, the quality is undeniable, the construction timeless and the foot-tapping ensured, so get floating.

moving through the worm hole, a track materializes at each stop offering emotive tunes that pull at your senses. alexander shows off his skills as you travel into four different universes encompassed within four house yet techno musical adventures. white rhino (deep down beat down) - begins the journey with an up tempo banger in which the bass syncopates ever so nicely. a message about the white rhino insues quickly and more synths come to take you on a space age trip. transcend - smooth synth line with a deep kick, leads us to gritty yet soft pads that build and build as vision of stars are created by waveforms. deep within - bassline and melodies blare out as the beat pulsates, and out of no where a voice comes up from deep within the darkness. the abyss - ending the journey is a super deep tunes that relaxes your mind, as you go deeper and deeper with the bassline, chords, and vocals…
