7 years on, fred p drops installment 2 of the incredible adventures of captain p, subtitled escapism, a constant stream of consciousness that takes you on a journey into a dimension of sound. eu pressing.

the 4th installment of his anomaly project fred p explores the galaxy with 3 deep cuts. light work digs deep into the astral plane, truth told gives a view of interdimensional energies, finishing wih an upper 4th dimensional vibration, todays future.

pads boss & klang club affiliate compiles a few choice tunes that give a insight into his love of lush tones & emotive vibes after connecting with fp for a tribute to the klang club w/move d, christopher rau + collaboration project w/easy to remember

crosses genre to find its own space, & soundscapes, downtempo, ambient, & house music all find a place. the record flows like a vague narrative, a non-specific sort-of passage, a meditative jazz-house trip.

a young dj/producer from brooklyn (deep explorer, finale sessions) pushing the line where deep house and techno join in emotive rawness. a deep moody selection of movements that suit any occasion as the vibe grows & culminates.

moving forward in time we find the alter ego known as anomaly facing a complex coded structure. reinterpreting it into rhythms of the hypnotic order & releasing the signals back into the deepest reaches of space beyond our known galaxy into what is known as the phantom zone.

j.c. touches down, going to the farthest reaches of the sonic landscape and returning with a portrait of the flying sky. dark brooding techno with a emotional edge, not for the faint of heart. masterful artistry at work and the first full length on the growing boards label.

the 1st volume of the * recoded* series which focuses on outtakes, alternate versions, & embellishments of tracks from 2013s codes & metaphors lp. 4 hypnotically soulful house constructions.

fp197 brings functional dance floor tools to the ever expanding boards dialog. raw trax vol.1 focuses on a stripped down approach to vibe and atmosphere while giving a full on cerebral experience.

cem enters the spm universe with deep experimental vibrations that conjures imagery in the imagination. his genuine approach to other music make this ep very special. it is a true find for those who are not as others.

after his appearance on 2014s selected comp lapien & giselle return for a foray into the ether. fred p, known for letting tracks age til maturity, put this one up for 2 yrs & its spot on to the minute. pure envelope-pushing deepness suited for the spm fam.

the deep explorer boss makes his way to the spm universe once more with this long awaited ep. appearing in 2011 on the come compilation the unexpected became a full-on project backed by an above smoke remix.

fred p immerses himself further into his techno alter ego, bringing more depth and insight to the saga, using sound to transcend time and space. *serinatatis* starts off the proceedings with a relentless drive and lofty pulsating pads that give you the feeling of a dismal oasis, with its brooding bassline and obscure vocals penetrating the construct. *dark population* takes us further down the rabbit hole into deeper rhythmic vibrations. this hypnotic ceremonial floor shaker echoes the cerebral ethos of the ep. last, but not least, *convective zone* cracks the sky and lets the sun shine in with its rolling baseline and ethereal chord structure. homage to the term techno soul is paid in full here as a trumpet blares through without losing the depth of the moment.

for the last 20 years hes plied the dub-ways as beat pharmacy & echologist, & here hes in one of his trippiest modes to date. where there is smoke has been road tested in fred p sets for months.

naoki entered the spm universe via earth tones 3 along with joey anderson and leonid nevermind. naokis music is understated, yet effective & there is a quiet restraint that leaves the listener wanting more.

anomaly, fred ps techno alter ego drops a hot bomb. as a producer renowned for melodic, ultra-deep house, its no surprise that his techno is as deep as a well.3 tracks.

selected pulls together material from mostly unfamiliar names like deepjust aquabeat, bassik grooove and bobby o donnell, alongside a couple of established heads like ryo murakami, aybee (as orion 70) and fred p himself, whose > n.y.

fine ambient-ish house ep

fresh off his appearance on earthtones 4, this is octobers debut solo ep. expect a dark sensual foray into the cosmos, some abstract yet moody beats, a galactic house journey, & maybe a portal to another dimension.

jose cabrera and fred p split the first installment of the perception series. the determinism ep sees jc and fp giving their slant on principles of quantum level events through sound. raw and driving, this ep is a more than an adequate dj tool, it is a formula for the transportation of the subconscious. determinism is a metaphysical philosophical position stating that for everything that happens there are conditions such that, given those conditions, nothing else could happen. “there are many determinisms, depending upon what pre-conditions are considered to be determinative of an event.” deterministic theories throughout the history of philosophy have sprung from diverse motives and considerations, some of which overlap. some forms of determinism can be tested empirically with ideas stemming from physics and the philosophy of physics. the opposite of determinism is some kind of indeterminism (otherwise called nondeterminism).
