void dance 36

36 | Void Dance (3six Recordings)

I’m pleased to present the new 36 album Void Dance. Strings and synths dance in union, creating a vibrant sound-stage, that envelops your ears and launches your brain into orbit. It’s a melodic, ultra-atmospheric record, and I want the music to stay in your head, long after the sound ends. It’s a result of 6 years experimentation really, taking cues from what I learned in my previous work, understanding what resonated the most, perfecting my production methods, and hopefully amalgamating everything into something quite unique. It’s quite an intense listen at times, but one that hopefully retains the warm, melancholic glow I always strive to achieve, even at it’s most darkest. Give it a listen and see where it takes you.” – 36

Post Scriptum 01 POST SCRIPTUM

POST SCRIPTUM Post Scriptum 01 (2xLP)

Post Scriptum stands for rich, highly detailed modern Techno. References to Mills-School bleep and unearthly, sci-fi tones are clear to hear. The album features original photographs by Swiss mixed-media artist Julian Charrière, taken on site at a former Soviet nuclear testing ground. The negatives were first exposed through the camera, and then laid on the radioactive earth where interference occurred resulting in the highly textured end images.

JOHN BELTRAN Espais (Delsin records)

Espais from John Beltran (Delsin records) is an absorbing soundtrack featuring 17 pieces of immersive, sonically lush and rich music. As he has throughout his career, Beltran makes use of modern techniques and classical composition to craft a wide range of blissfully soul soothing moods and supple, subtle grooves. Unfolding like a proper journey with a carefully threaded narrative, this album is yet another testament to Beltran’s ability to sculpt sound in intricate and compelling ways.

antigone cantor dust token

ANTIGONE Cantor Dust (Token) Vinyl

Cantor Dust is the latest EP from Parisian producer Antonin Jeanson on Belgian label Token.
“Cantor Dust explores Jeanson’s penchant for unusual sounds, mixing abstract elements with more functional club-ready beats. The release opens with a spacial and ambient piece, before rolling into the producer’s dance-floor focused techno cuts. The anthemic “Prime Mover” fuses a heavy low end with driving percussion, icy pads, reverberant synth stabs, and dense, evolving atmospheres, using tension and release to great effect.

ASURA | Life² - Remastered

ASURA | Life² – Remastered

We carry on with our remastering mission and actually uploaded ASURA’s [ Life² ] today in 16 and 24bit format.
Life² marked its time as the return of the original Asura sound. With 10 strong tracks; melodic echoes, astoundingly composed. Aramean tribal rhythms, ethereal duduks, hypnotic basslines, symphonic orchestrations, fusion of gentleness and strength blending into acid themes. The outcome is melancholic yet positive, as any renewal would be, a tangible passage, sort of a second life…

AES DANA feat. MIKTEK – Alkaline EP | Out Now

The Alkaline EP associates the works of AES Dana (Vincent Villuis) and MIKTEK (Mihalis Aikaterinis), the second chapter in a series of three.

Skilful blend of granular soils, earthy glitches, oxydised rhythms & basslines flowing into diaphanous & breathing pads. These 3 new chapters explore the Minimal Ambient & Liquid Drum’n’Bass structures to in fine propose a cinematic and out of time chronicle, switching from quiet territories to ultra-modern violence.
