After the success of the first edition in 2016, we decided to make Unfold and ongoing Various Artists compilation series. The second volume is another carefully curated mix of new label signings and more established names. The nine stylish tracks cover lush deepness, silky synths and hooky melodies that provide a real listening experience, no matter the context.

The first volume of Unfold featured the likes of Applescal's 'Harmony Two,' which became a big hit with DJs and has since influenced the more club-focused sound of the label. As such, the music on this collection has one foot on the dance floor, but comes with richly layered arrangements and proper songwriting that works just as well at home, in headphones, or anywhere else. Whether driving and late-night or more sun-kissed and airy, the sounds of Unfold are all indicative of the wider output on Atomnation. It is a label that deals in music for dancing, but also thinking and feeling.

The new artists here include NOCUI with his lush piano house, Awe Kid's gurgling grooves and heavenly melodies and Argia's clean, trance-inducing sounds. Label boss Applescal's 'Annie' is an uplifting synth jam with his partner, while Sky Civilian's 'Calle Electra' is a catchy piece of clean avant-pop. Both Milio and boys be kko bring star-gazing gems taken from their upcoming albums on this label. The rolling depths of new artists Lex Ludlow and Blomfelt & Narby bring this collection of sounds way beyond the dance floor - Unfold is packed with fresh new music and grooves laden with spine-tingling emotion.

Something Happening Somewhere returns with a new collection of stories unified under the brand new NOWHERE compilation series. Shards of tales long forgotten are told and retold by a group of fellow travellers, exploring sounds in many shapes and forms. Sailing towards an unknown destination, revealed here are the hymns luring you into the abyss… 

NOWHERE 01 is set to be released as a twelve track tour de force containing a myriad of fresh sounds build from uncharted odysseys along a host of forgotten pearls. Quince, Tracey, Sigward, Patlac, Love Over Entropy & Pete Blaker, Kiani & His Legion and Fader From Borneo all provide freshly crafted propellants. Also taking the opportunity to reimagine music by Kurt Baggaley, Fatima Yamaha, Mayaku / Dilated Pupils, Lover Over Entropy / Versalife and Quince. Distilled from this full blown three-mast comes a vinyl sampler containing five carefully selected tracks. Something is happening somewhere, but where…? 

The NOWHERE voyage is designed by our favourite designer Quentin Deronzier and for the Vinyl Sampler we’re creating a unique silkscreen printed remix of his visual articulation. The face of a mortal being exposed from every angle it discloses every achingly beautiful, enchanting and haunting detail there is to discover. There are things hiding in the murky depths of the seawater, discoveries not to be looked into the eye and sounds never to be resonated by an eardrum. Perhaps nowhere is actually a place worth visiting.

Love Over Entropy & Pete Blaker - H1 (NOWHERE01)

Exclusive Between Ourselves 'Red Mist (Ruede Hagelstein's Boost Cut)'

After André Lodemann's highly appreciated album 'The Deeper You Go' it's Irish duo Between Ourselves that follow the label-head's steps and see Davin Coady and Geoff Foley release their 'Red Mist EP' on Best Works. The four tracker, consisting of two originals, André's edit of the title track as well as Ruede Hagelstein's take on 'Red Mist', depicts the sheer potential and sound sophistication of the Waterford-boys Davin and Geoff. Watergate-resident Ruede Hagelstein's approach to 'Red Mist', which he simply called Boost Cut, does just what the working title suggests: it strips down the elements, emphasizes the carefully-chosen ones and adds a crucial darker tone and atmosphere to the track. Kind of like boosting the mental component while reducing the original's melodic elements to an essential minimum in the beginning and middle-part before allowing them to become the carrying soundscapes in the course and flow into a spheric peak that contains elegancy and rawness.

Between Ourselves's EP 'Red Mist' will be released November 9th, 2018 on Best Works Records.

Yours Truly

Stigmatized

For release number twenty-three on San Francisco’s Manjumasi, label co-founder Mark Slee returns with a new EP, his first original showing on the imprint since its debut release, his Nocturne Belle EP in 2016.

The Grapeseed EP features three original tracks, all with deep and mysterious elements that have become a marker of Slee’s production style, as well as the broader Manjumasi label sound. First up is Grapeseed, a haunting number built around a deep gliding bass riff with echoing bell melodies. The second track is Westvine, again featuring gently modulated bell elements in the lead, while dialing up both the shuffle and groove on a much more syncopated low-end. Finally, we have Bitter Flower, which uses a super deep groove to set the foundation for classic synth elements with a modern twist. Acid-lines echo through the sonic space, alongside a nod to the classic M1 organ texture.

Alongside the originals is a diverse collection of outstanding remixes from highly respected producers. First up is Berlin’s Acid Pauli, who turns in an incredible deep and minimal interpretation of Westvine. Here the focus is on solid bass and little organic details that grow gently through the mix, like tendrils into a brick foundation. Next is Seattle-based Jeff McIlwain, aka Lusine, who pulls the tempo of Grapeseed down to a very mellow 100bpm, the perfect pace for a deep bass burner that works its way steadily through an intense slow-mo crescendo. Finally, Birmingham’s Tom Flynn takes aim more squarely at the dancefloor, with a proper ripping take on Bitter Flower. Driving synths and arpeggios recall the energy and euphoria of classic progressive house, but Tom’s touch employs a more modern and sophisticated sound palette, expressing both melancholy and intrigue.
