b-stock! cover with seam split. vinyl unaffected & mint. a year after his debut outing on the label, max essa makes a welcome return to hell yeah with the han zon roc ep, which is another of his impossibly laidback offerings. essa is of course the long time uk talent who has become a part of the balearic mafia thanks to releases on labels like aficionado, music for dreams, and his own jansen jardin. this is the second coming together of artist and label and is another timeless excursion far out to sea. opener han zon roc (midori coup) is an epic 12inch minute adventure that slowly awakens your spirit with new age guitar plucks and heavenly ambience before organic drums slowly being to drift into earshot. they grow ever larger as synths start to spray about the mix, hand drums pitter patter and big chords bring the soul-shine. its like the soundtrack to an afternoon boat party all condensed into one brilliant cut. how you showed me everything then gets super chill with lazy drum tumbles, bendy guitar lines and scattered hits. withering cosmic chords colour the airwaves and its a track that will slow your heartbeat to nothing. last of all, rain birds alfalfa jam is a analogue drum work out with early 90s hip hop influences and diving basslines. it s light and airy, nimble and playful and of course filled with the sort of tropical rays that make all of essa works so brilliantly escapist.

the inauguration of zon is upon us, a fresh and original project created by zon on their eponymous label. the four track vinyl release, “keys for days” maneuvers precisely through slick minimal and summery house textures from the label founders, and features a pensive and hypnotic remix from acclaimed ukrainian producer, kirik. complimenting the originals in particular fashion and steers the release with a more mysterious narrative.

(180 gr) the fourth in international feels minialbum series is by shelter aka alan briand, a young parisian producer with a strong melodic centre producing a sound that pulls on the zouk, the afro, the balearic and the ambient palette

"zon - palace since more than ten years close friends and metal heads phillip tielsch (von spar) and mario katz (cologne tape) met for guitar sessions, trying to - nd the essence of their favourite metal records* and digest in their own sound“. quite ambitious but without any release plans so far... magazines jens-uwe beyer found out about their project and pushed them to produce an uncompromising condensate of their raw material. beyer cut here and there, contributed some additional production and also got john stanier (battles) in the boat for the drums. so zon became a band and -palace- became the most intense and sharp edged instrumental metal set you probably heard in years! crato s b-side counterpart, a 27min drone ambient interpretation of the zon material, completes this literally thrilling album and makes it – wrapped up by john harten s unique artwork series – another magazine release at its best. mastered by matt karmil. - 45 min playtime - endless loop on side a; b-side cut inside out"
