the deeply layered rhythms and atmospheric elements that refracted shows across the four tracks on along a ghostly trail make a perfect match for silent season, as the berlin based newcomer joining some illustrious company in the shape of stl, djorvin clain and edanticonf in contributing to the canadian labels rise. clouds of sub bass meld rhythmically with the stripped back percussive lilts of enlightenment as they traverse a scenic back drop of textural atmospherics, whilst the title track is similar in tone if imbued with a spectral feeling that justifies the name. contrasting this, both oo-koo-he and hyperdimension are gloopy bassline lead arrangements that slowly swell around the senses.

mit seinen tänzelnden schritten ist der klangkünstler eindeutig hier auf der erde unterwegs, mit seinem wiegenden kopf aber scheinbar auf einem anderen planeten. wie er zu seinem namen gekommen ist? durch das gefühlvolle instrumentenspiel, mit dem dieser tagedieb seine streifzüge musikalisch illustriert! so fordert er tatsächlich einen streunenden hund zum pfötchentango auf, wobei sich temperamentvoll-südländische gitarren- und violinpassagen mit zügellosem herumgehüpfe zu pochenden rhythmen abwechseln. kurz darauf ist der klangkünstler von den zucken bewegungen eines clownfischs fasziniert, der zwischen wogenden basswellen funkelt. spontan holt er das piano aus der tasche, schlägt einen clubbigen groove an und improvisiert dazu auch noch auf der geige. dann hüpft er weiter, unter strahlenden klangfarben seinen regenbogentanz vollführend zwinkert er dem am wege stehenden mollono.bass zu. von so viel lebensfreude inspiriert, vertwistet der jene heitere melodie mit einem knarzig- rollenden bass und führt den regenbogentanz mit verträumter geste fort.

for now is the second ep by brooklyn duo beacon, five songs that continue the bands exploration of the dark spaces under the surface of human relationships. as with the bands debut ep no body, for now is a record that conceals a great deal of depth beneath a melodic veneer— again, there is a stark contrast between thomas mullarneys honeyed vocals and the words he is singing, although this time the mood is perhaps less sinister and more reflective.

recorded in dears home studio and mixed at nicolas vernhes rare book room studios in brooklyn, beams evokes a day-lit dreamworld at once strange and familiar. while the albums dancefloor-ready tempos, major keys, and sun-warmed synths signal beams as the lighter, brighter response to its predecessor, closer inspection reveals a squirming mass of oddball details. dears latest productions on beams creak and groan like anxious organisms, with slivers of guitar, electric bass, and drum kit darting in and out among the synths and samples. beams is the latest transmission from one of pop musics most fascinating creative minds. tour dates coming in nov and dec after recently performing live in may this year in select key cities.

having both previously released on phuture shock musik, garage experimentalists roof light and lostlojic return to share the honours on a split single set for release on the bristol label. always one to maintain an eclectic approach in his work, surrey resident roof light returns to his forward-thinking best, offering up >pearl< - a sultry number, where jerky beats intertwine with fragmentations of female vox that saunter through swathes of synth pads, glitchy blips, and warm dubby bass. on the flip lostlojic continues the regular theme of passion in his music, bouncing back with >so much<, another r&b inflected dancefloor gem, incorporating a saccharine vocal hook over a bed of lush rhodes chords. soulful as ever, and riding a 4/4 rhythmn just beyond the familiar 140bpm region, this tune premieres a departure from the typically cold, brooding style that the ukraine based producer is known for, to something more suited for the warm summer nights.

ancient future is the second collaboration between visionary pianist ryuichi sakamoto and electronic pioneer christopher willits. built around a series of piano pieces that sakamoto sent to willits after the release of the duos first record together, 2008s ocean fire, the six tracks that make up ancient future are entirely instrumental—and yet, they speak about the very essence of what it means to be human. as a whole, ancient future functions as a piece about the creation, acceptance and completion of ones fate and all of lifes experiences, following a trajectory through inner conflict, resolution and, ultimately, acceptance.

in the context of shigetos debut lp lineage, >huron river drive< functions as a respite of sorts, a brief stop on the roadside of a very personal into the past. but as this single release proves, it also stands alone as a pleasantly understated piece of electronic beauty. the track swells slowly from the simple chord sequence of the intro into a lushly textured slice of late-night atmospherics – with more than a hint of jazz to be found in the brushed percussion and quietly tinkling electronic piano – and then receding back into the same sequence as the track draws to a close.

her fantasy is the second single to drop and lead single from beams. >do i feel love like all of the others or is this feeling only mine?< dear sings on the strutting track, later wondering >am i one heartbeat away from receiving a damaging shock to my life?< these are the words of a man with something to lose—love, stability, a burgeoning family. dear is growing up—reluctantly, maybe—and he wears his newfound lyrical maturity with grace.

sometimes club music doesnt need to be too clever. sometimes all you need is an insistent groove and a hook. allow nuance, subtlety or layers upon layers of carefully sculpted found sounds, sometimes the drive to dance to a piece of music overtakes the rational over thinking and just inspires movement. that is precisely what this trio of original productions from 19 year old brummy, wattville aka matthew evans, does incredibly well to inaugurate sonic router records debut vinyl release.

gold panda war einer der newcomer im letzten jahr und weltweit auf jeder bestenliste dabei. gold pandas musik mag als ein scherbenhaufen aus knapp beschnittenen minisamples beginnen, aber was der junge londoner daraus zusammenkittet, ist alles andere als chaotisch und abweisend.

i know u combines tribal rhythms, pounding bass, insistent synth stabs, some distressed dialogue and a insanely large crash in the most maniacal way imaginable for what has to be one of the most devastating and original tunes for a very long time. sparse and spacious but yet rhythmical and energetic, lxc manages the ultimate arrangement balancing act here. the intensity increases gradually as the track progresses, culminating in an all-out tribal war ! a modern day jungle masterpiece from one of the most under-estimated producers around. on the flip, senses finally unleashes a track that decimated the very first technicality all-nighter back in 2004. 8 years later and that power is still very much in evidence! everybody want go heaven. nobody want dead – taking influence from the 1990 film marked for death, senses builds a dense vibe here, thick with imminent danger. rolling drums soon give way to a energetic ride-heavy break and pounding sub-bass hits. drum rolls drop and mentasms screech before the storm begins to subside half way through. the respite is brief however and after a complete silence the track reassembles, beginning with some insane slow to fast mentasm pitching which continues as a dark, slick reece begins to build with mysterious atmospherics. the tension is cut by the return of the drums – rolling along at first, before the mentasms and subs hit hard again, signaling a percussive onslaught! jungle just got catapulted into 2012.
