futurictic and spaced out journey from house to techno

nubian quadrant ep sees dutch producer philou reaching for that sweet spot between afro and electro to produce three pulsing new tracks for byrd out. as philou says, -all good music ultimately comes from africa-, and true to his african roots, the ep was part recorded in malawi. with his tracks being picked up by the likes of erol alkan and eats everything, this ep is sure to provide the rhythmic backdrop to the summer. if you imagine the driving force of fela kuti matched with the acid sqwelch of phuture, you re part of the way there. it s dancefloor sunshine on vinyl. mastered by the legendary noel summerville, artwork by g.s-l studio.

delivering some fresh flavours from the west coast, we welcome seattle’s finest quadrant & iris back to dispatch, with the “calculated risk ep”. showcasing some exceptional us talents, additional production comes from seattle neighbours dstruct and kid hops, plus a debut from san francisco’s own jamal. the “calculated risk ep” is meticulously constructed but shrewdly balanced, as quadrant & iris bring hard hitting technicality, crafted with composed progression. dauntless & ant tc1 also join forces on opposite sides of the globe for the superb remix of “microsleep”, naturally closing an ep which demonstrates the shared passion and direction amongst quadrant, iris, their closest friends and dispatch today.

the cosmic perspective lands on eternal friction records for the labels second output. dark quadrant takes you once more on a journey into space. further exploring the boundaries of the techno landscape. drifting down ever deeper into the incomprehensible vastness of the universe.

taylor freels has built quite a strong catalog over the years. his work under his urulu moniker, is widely regarded as top quality deep house and the banshee ep continues in this fashion. the title track has a dreamlike atmosphere to it. the banshee is a work that will strike a chord with lovers of the ocean-influenced sounds and hazy atmospheres. a strong presence of strings and dubby sounds, create a certain laidback mood that is perfect for sun drenched days in the park. chicagoan producer garrett david builds on the hazy atmospheres of the original, while adding some melodic elements to his remix of the banshee where he cleverly shifts between scales and different moods.
quadrant beat is a warm track that is built around warm chords and fashionable drum sounds. again, urulu makes sure to weave some outgoing dub elements into this b-side opening track. romance track is most likely one of the berlin based producer’s most melodic works to date. beautifully executed piano hits flow together seemingly easy over a sturdy rhythm that serves as the track’s backbone. the banshee ep is a work of lush deep house and an excellent addition to both urulu’s repertoire and the saft label catalog.

streaking through the ether at twice the speed of sound, mr 8040 is on a date with destiny. he is heading for mikrosector-50, his home planet, but things are not going as smoothly as planned. en route he finds himself in sticky situations, cosmic encounters that trigger flashbacks to a different time and place. will he ever make it home? and who – or what – is he running from?
