after putting the band on the map with their first ep two years ago, the band feathered sun has grown into a life of its own. the more live sets they have played, the better they have defined their style. they are spearheading a brand of sound healing music abstractly narrative, always poetic, sometimes flirting with darkness but always perfectly produced to carry the audience into their own world. feathered sun are the collaborative experiment of nu, jo.ke, raz ohara, chris schwarzwaelder, iannis ritter and acid pauli johannes laumer. each have active and flourishing solo artist careers, albeit still have time to collaborate with one another. the six-strong collective are a close-knit troupe who are primarily based in berlin and lima, peru. live improvisation is ultimately what brought the feathered sun project to life - they are open about their laidback, impromptu approach and this is apparent throughout this ep. side a was primarily crafted in peru by chris schwarzwaelder and jo.ke with raz ohara’s mesmerising vocals. the end material was then sent to nu in berlin who crafted two tracks out of it. the ‘bulbo’ ep shows a willingness to explore different approaches within the collective and the music showcases their long-standing affiliation. it is a downtempo ep that has immaculate instrumentation, dreamy pads and brooding vocals throughout. this is intertwined with organic sounds and moody atmospheric melodies, gives the release a timeless and emotive ambience.

a three-track release from the prolific french producer brett longman. after a lot of experiences all across europe and a pretty extensive discography, his creativity combined with his production skills makes him one of the most versatile artist today. from rythmic minimal techno to road movie blues or melodic songs, he now enters a crooner techno genre that he is inventing along the way.

praymond is a french artist and long time record collector. after years of travelling and playing across europe and america, he decided to release his first ep. this record is not just an elegant dj tool but its also a really smart take on how to bring a discrete touch of acoustic in a music usually dominated by analogue sounds. 3 tracks on this ep. huguette uses a lot of acoustic elements to deliver an epic dancefloor track chamalowe slows the tempo in order to make the pattern heavier timeless memory is a tribute to dub techno with an acoustic take, touch of platon records

nu, j.o.k.e, raz ohara, chris schwarzwaelder, iannis ritter who, for the 1rst time, recorded as a band called feathered sun. all these artists have known each other for years and have been recording on the road or during retreats in peru. they all may sound familiar as most of them have been touring the world for the past 2 years accumulating hits, especially nu who got recognition after the who loves the sun song with j.o.k.es haunting voice.

an idea who’s time has clearly come, moon rock volume 1 struck a nerve upon release last spring. a collection of deeply atmospheric ambience, cosmic, and chillout techno, it was the opening salvo in a much longer-term effort by nyc-based throne of blood recordings to establish a platform for a diverse collection of friends and musical fellow travellers to explore composing music for folding time and exploring innerspace. now, just months after vol. 1 hit shelves, moon rock volume 2 is upon us…

dj support : matthias kaden, jimpster, italoboyz, karotte, tom clark & amongst others !! a 4 tracker this time called >nautical dawn<, theodors square basses are groovy as hell and as usual the swing notch is turned all the way to 16.e j!!! pieces of short and abstract vocal samples appear here and there and some fantastic jazzy sounding melodies played by old instruments like this pseudo vibraphone-guitar on the strong first track called jazzphysics or this 70s wha-pedal arabic strings on nautical dawn. theodor expands his horizon by developing a new genre that we could name something like >smart minimal melodic dry ass funk<?!? so if you like bouncing beats and want to experience serious booty shaking while you play that piece, then this record is >sans aucun doute<
