Chista Okolina feat. LD Pistolero, Smilen & DJ Goce - Malku Poeti (FLTRLBL189)
Release date: March 12th, 2021
Genres: Hip Hop, Alternative Hip-Hop, Soul
For fans of: GangStarr, A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Chista Okolina are back 25 years after their eponymous debut and they are heating things up with the second single announcing the upcoming new album "Avant-garde Fatiguée". The soul-drenched "Malku Poeti" samples Zafir Hadzimanov's 70's pop classic "Why", turning it into an epic boom bap attention grabber. Similar as in the case of the first single "Si Igrame So Rapot", the boys are joined by some heavy weight guests - S.A.F. members Smilen and DJ Goce (who also produced the song) and the young lion of European hip-hop, LD Pistolero.

She has finally decided to share her new material with the world. The album "Revel: Generative" will be released in September and "Generosity of Genius" is the first of two singles to announce it.

Release date: July 16th, 2021
Genres: Electronic, Downtempo, Ambient
For fans of: Boards of Canada, Brian Eno, Autechre, The Orb

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Spaces Between's unique blend of indie influenced electronica has made him a firm favourite of Chillout radio programmers and Downtempo playlist curators and got him a support slot on The Orb's tour. Millions of streams and radio plays after the first single, he is returning with his fifth album which has all the trademark elements - the slow burning character of songs, the long buildups and the amazing ability to draw the listener closer and closer with each song as the album progresses. Probably his strongest work to date, "Maudlin" meticulously connects the dots between shoegaze, ambient and idm, drawing the blueprint for modern electronica in the post-everything era.

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Liza Nicklin became a steady fixture on the Dub Techno and Deep House scenes with the release of her album "Immortal Habits", which also brought her a Fenty Beauty sync placement. While the current single "Generosity of Genius" is still hot on specialised electronic radio and streaming playlists (including heavy rotation on Amazon's Breakthrough Electronic), she is keeping the pressure towards the new album with the second teaser "Direction Acknowledged", closing the gap between leftfield electronica, downtempo and techno.

Release date: October 22nd, 2021
Genres: Synth-Pop, New Wave, Synthwave
For fans of: The Human League, Yazoo, Heaven 17, Beograd

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Originally released 37 years ago, this album is the only remaining document of the short but extremely sweet collaboration between singer-actress Ana Kostovska, composer and musician Kiril Džajkovski, bassist Ljubomir Stojsavljević and film director Milčo Mančevski. With synthwave returning as the hottest music trend of 2021, Bastion, one of the first electronic bands in Eastern Europe is suddenly back in fashion. Various international media outlets, including The Guardian, caught the Bastion bug and wrote about this unique band and their self-titled masterpiece, calling it "a quick-footed jewel of eclectic, expert synth-wave... genre-curious, but grounded in this bright, glamorous pop sensibility". We couldn't be more proud to release it in all its remastered glory and make it available on the digital music services for the first time ever.

Politically charged and built over a backdrop of samples from Macedonian jazz and rock classics, it rebels against some of the most pressing issues which are perpetually ruining the lives of young people in Eastern Europe. Conscious rap at its best!

Release date: December 1st, 2014
Genres: Indie, Shoegaze, Alternative
For fans of: Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star, Cranes, Siouxsie and the Banshees


ABOUT THE RELEASE

This road is Long, the ultimate New Year break-up song, was the first thing by The Lost Patrol we heard and ever since we became obsessed with their sound. Obviously heavily influenced by Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star and the classic 4AD sound, they build on the best post-track traditions to create an intriguing mixture of Shoegaze, Goth, Alternative and Lounge. This unique approach could not have passed unnoticed and their music started appearing in hit TV shows and films, including Gossip Girl, Chronicle and Amy Heckerling's Vamps. Still, five albums into their career, they manage to maintain the image of a cool band followed religiously by dedicated music lovers around the world, while staying true to their art and avoiding to sell out to the current needs of the greedy music industry. We are very proud to present you their new release Picture Show, a masterpiece of cinematic indie rock.

It tells space hopping stories of universal meaning and cements Alcendor's reputation as one of the most forward thinking producers of our time. Essential listening for RJD2 and Michael Franti fans.

Jon Ososki - Shatter The Perfection (FLTRLBL133)
Release date: July 15th, 2016
Genres: Electronica, Leftfield, Chill-Out
For fans of: Aphex Twin, The Orb, Boards of Canada, Jose Padilla


ABOUT THE RELEASE

After two album releases on Filter Label, and just three months after Reach Through The Noise, Jon Ososki is back with a conceptual three-track EP. This time he is leaning more towards electronica and chill-out, with his trademark lush soundscapes pushed to the background and leaving the main spot to slow building grooves and ambiences. Needless to say, once again you are in for a tripped-out sonic journey as you would have expected from this brilliant composer.

Spaces Between - Black Blood (FLTRLBL136)
Release date: September 30th, 2016
Genres: Ambient, Electronica, Post-Rock
For fans of: Michael Brook, Brian Eno, Boards of Canada

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Michael Orr, the mastermind behind Spaces Between, is back to the music scene after a three year long absence, and as one could expect, the return is quite a treat. Black Blood successfully balances on the line where digital and analog meet, exploring vast soundscapes that could feel equally at home in the trip-hop dominated Bristol as well as the downtempo electronica friendly USA. Being a guitarist first and foremost, Orr builds rich post-rock textures and throws them towards a wall of fractured electronic beats. The result is, as always, eloquently suggestive and revealingly overwhelming.

Little Birds - Fill The Trees With Leaves (FLTRLBL137)
Release date: November 11th, 2016
Genres: Chill Out, Electronica, Leftfield, Acid
For fans of: Aphex Twin, Orbital, Air, LFO

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Fill The Trees With Leaves is the third artist album by British electronic music producer Little Birds and it is an amazingly ambitious release. It almost seems like he challenged himself to show the world how much his sound has evolved over the years. The opening trio of songs (White Horses, Wriggle Pants and Feathered Friend) are in line with our expectations from his Black Acid series of EPs, but done with a twist. The atmosphere is a bit more relaxed and they include live instrumentation adding to the organic feel that will go on throughout the album. Things continue to unfurl with the lush and innocently beautiful Llyn Dulyn, Polit Elek and the title track which lead to the breaking point of the album - the brilliant Aphex-Twin-meets-Autechre influenced Jazzy Mums. Then, the big surprise hits us. The epic closing trilogy (High Rise, Harlech and Plateau) is the grandiose finale of Fill The Trees With Leaves. These three songs testify of a producer wandering out of his safe zone, growing as big as possible and arriving at an area reserved for the likes of Air and Groove Armada. Welcome to the big league, Little Birds!

Release date: November 3rd, 2017
Genres: Electronica, Global Bass, Trip Hop, Downtempo
For fans of: Diplo, Buraka Som Sistema, Bonobo, Roni Size

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Trip Naughty is announcing Tripnotic’s return to the scene and is the first in a series of comeback EPs which will culminate with a full-length album release in 2018. A tasty crossover of moombahton and electro, it is the perfect marriage of street cred and mass appeal. This EP finds Filter Label’s founder surrounded by a stellar cast of collaborators. US rapper Rell Rock, best known for her previous work with Stanton Warriors, Tony Quattro and Nightwave is in charge of the vocals, while trip-hop’s golden boy Jon Kennedy and drum’n’bass visionary Lynx participate with their own visions of Trip Naughty, taking the song to completely unexpected directions.

Little Birds - Black Acid, Vol. 4 (FLTRLBL149)
Release date: November 17th, 2017
Genres: Electronica, Downtempo, Acid
For fans of: Aphex Twin, LFO, Autechre 

ABOUT THE RELEASE

The Black Acid series was supposed to be a trilogy ending with its third instalment three years ago. Luckily for electronic music fans around the world, Little Birds is not giving up on the “black acid” concept so easily. The surprise fourth edition is bigger and fatter than its predecessors, containing four acid cuts destined to shake the dance floor. This time it is all about the groove, constantly evolving and developing a lot further than the original concept of simplistic beats and bass squelches. This one is for the heads!

Mark Allsworth - Augmented Horizon (FLTRLBL157)
Release date: July 13th, 2018
Genres: Chill Out, Electronica, Downtempo
For fans of: ZHU, Boards of Canada, William Orbit

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Mark Allsworth’s productions have always been characterised by great attention to detail and respect for the space “between the notes”. This perfectionist approach has brought him wide critical acclaim and some rather enviable gigs, like a spot on the Enter Ibiza compilation on Richie Hawtin’s label Minus and an invitation to compose the score for the game Big Pharma. It is finally time for Allsworth to get back to releasing some music. His new single is an epic downtempo track bearing all the trademark elements - a strong, memorable melody, warm atmosphere and a great number of tiny bits and pieces running around and making a nice controlled mess in the arrangement. Augmented Horizon is supported with two alternate versions: the Overclocked mix, which is a subtle nod to his breakbeat producer days under the Duane Barry alias and the overwhelming and alluringly ambient Recalibration mix.

Release date: March 6th, 2020
Genres: Downtempo, Chillout, Electronica
For fans of: Neils Frahm, Brian Eno, Harold Budd

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Jon Ososki, a favorite composer of Chill radio programmers and Downtempo playlist curators around the world, has a brand new gem to share. It is different from everything we have heard from him before, but still imprinted with that distinctive Jon Ososki signature. "The Smile That Helps Us Forget" is spiced with a subtle Nils Frahm influence, not as a musical inspiration, but more as a reference for the combination of classical piano and electronic sounds. Very impressive and suggestive in the most delicate, unobtrusive way.

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Remote Isolation is a special collaborative project of two masters of Downtempo Electronica. As can be expected, the EP stretches over the territory between Spaces Between's post-rock approach and Jon Ososki's chill-out explorations, but at the same time, it surprises with how great they complement each other musically. This is much more than a quick killing time during the lockdown period - it is a truly wonderful EP by two amazing music makers.
