great music variety , for fans of house / deep house / techno / drum n bass

third release of dancing like quagmire, italian white label (vinyl only) born to make you dance shouting “giggity giggity go”!!! mini-album with five tracks deeply rooted in 20th century russian culture in which neotnas is showing his poetic music style wandering between rough drum patterns, old dusty samples (hard to dig for sure) and hypnotics saxophone melodies. a-side starts with dreamy downtempo intro elin, followed by crispy broken rhythms of colourful tension and closes with breezy and fluffy don’t rush with dubjazz. b-side contains mighty deep house trip morning way, and outro come, where the main character is undoubtedly ivan pona’s magic sax which created an illusory atmosphere over neotnas’s soul beat.

russian producer neotnas deliveres >slow & steady<, his first ep on soundtravels (st006). we have already introduced him on our first various artist ep >point of view part 1< (st005). typical for his sound is that warm, organic feel all over his house and dubtechno productions. very often accompanied by female vocals and its almost like you hear somebody play a live instrument if you listen carefully. the ep kicks off with the massive floorfiller >trunk party<. an energetic, solid built up track with that bassline killer hook. >user mood< has that typical basic channel touch. dubby techno guided by a floating bassline and little pleasant delays. we are slowly moving forward with evolving sticky, dubby beats in the title track >slow & steady<. this one will warm up every dancefloor, but is also very welcome in the afterhours. the last addition to this ep is >hold<, a warm deephouse track with moody, hopeful and sensitive sounds which reflect beautiful emotions. timeless material again which covers you up like a warm blanket. enjoy!

the debut release on poem by neotnas, is set to showcase both the labels outlook and pedigree. the outlook of quality, from the music, to the pressing and artwork, and the pedigree, which is proven in the history of tobias duffner, who ran fauxpas musik, and his choice of upcoming artists already slated to release on poem. neotnas hails from the city of chelyabinsk in russia, and delivers a mature yet fresh ep of deep, well versed grooves. to grant it a genre would narrow the appeal of these tracks, but rest assured those from house or techno backgrounds will both find common ground. these tracks stand out for their almost unearthly feel, and its easy to hear that neotnas are close to the ural mountains, in tracks like kai, or that day, which serve both the head and the feet. the future for poem lies in cultivating new artists as talented as neotnas, to go alongside proven ones, as a list of remix names show how poem will progress: convextion/e.r.p., anton zap, modern stalking and mlz to name a few already at work.

haunting, post-house deconstruction from russian outsider neotnas. >that day< is vocal dance music for lost souls, disparaging practical compromise and sunny chord progressions for a bones-bare, ruthlessly sincere interrogation of hopelessness, apathy and ultimate transcendence. suppressed waves of orchestral melancholia pass through entrancing heroin-paced percussive mechanics, unveiling the cavernous sprawl of neotnas masterful production. casting an icy shadow of depth and despair that is not easily shaken, four by fog lends his unexpectedly beautiful vocals to the project, proving the axiom >if you dont have the key, just break the lock<.
