Sistrum proudly welcomes Aleqs Notal to the family with Ascending Nodes. Arriving as yet another unique thread in the ever-expanding fabric of the Sistrum sonic tapestry, the EP is a statement on deep, warm vibrations for those in search of soul cleansing sounds. Listen often, listen loud and dance abundantly…

A1 – Echoes
Crisp hand percussion sets the mood for this journey into classic deep house territory. Once the warm, growling bassline kicks in, there’s a sense that Aleqs has channeled the mighty Ron & Chez to create a fresh yet perfectly classic groove. Smooth and sultry with sweet sonic details bubbling up at every turn, “Echoes” is destined for many a late night session.

B1 – This Way
The vibrations continue as “This Way” kicks in, with its lovely, rotund bass tones and shuffled, panning percussion. Buttery smooth synth lines soon arise to provide jazzy, soulful, melodic love to the equation – and the journey is set. There’s no denying that the refined musical taste and production prowess of Aleqs is on full display for your pleasure.

B1 – Unhidden Blues
Aleqs pays homage to the timeless spirit of house on “Unhidden Blues,” focusing on quality sounds and tight production to create a groove for those of the less-is-more mindset. With a classic, square wave bassline as the foundation and warm keys floating in and out of the rhythm, this cut reminds us to simply close our eyes and let the music take control.
