ANTIGONE Cantor Dust (Token) Vinyl

Filed Under: News

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

Filed Under: News

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…
