Release Date: March 1st, 2024
Info: Image Research is excited to present a new suite of songs from label stalwart, Hoverist. As one of IR’s founding releases in 2021, ‘Universal Veil’ set the tone with its timeless soundscapes and displaced electronics, embedded in a deep love and appreciation for 90’s IDM.

Flash forward to ‘Expansion Chamber’, the newest offering from the producer which dials in a more rhythmic approach to an already expansive and rich palette. Where ‘Universal Veil’ covers like a warm blanket, ‘Expansion Chamber’ cuts like a knife with a sheen of precision and attention to detail. Genre-bending with fluidity and poise to astonishing results.

There is an uplifting clarity to each of the 4 tracks, that unfold deeply and differently with each listen. Clockwork percussion, emotive synth-work, and an endless supply of chopped and refracted acid sequences combine to entrance and catapult physical movement.

*PREMIERE* Hoverist - Torus

ovanodero.bandcamp.com/album/over-medium

It’s been 2 years since we last peered into ovan odero’s sun-baked world of silk-spun melodies and clattering rhythms. Following the artist's signature laid-back approach in mind (and studio), ovan returns with a suite of 4 new songs that pick up right where he left off with his 2022 debut EP ‘Gold Foil’.

‘Over Medium’ is the aptly titled new EP from the Tampa producer, which lands perfectly in the climbing humidity of spring. Never dragging, never rushed, the tracks unfold solemnly and tactfully with shimmering results. Built with an emotional and playful complexity that only ovan could conjure. Youthful images and bittersweet reverie abound in 4 movements of untethered sound. - HPT

Released May 31, 2024

All songs written and recorded by Evan Otero
Mastered by Hunter P. Thompson
Art and design by Jeremy Myers
Cassette design by Justin Myers

silentwave.bandcamp.com/album/skeleton-dance

Seemingly overnight, Japanese upstart producer, silentwave, has been easily sidewinding silky-smooth, dubbed-out, nocturnal-leaning house tracks. With a back catalog that gets larger and more dynamic by the day, ’Skeleton Dance’ brings forth a new suite of songs at the crossroads of the producer’s influences and vision.

Steamy, narcotic, and swelling with mysterious energy, new sounds, rhythms, and textures lurk around every corner. Vintage drum machines pound the floor with precision and class while deep valleys of reverb shimmer and fade like crashing waves, taking each track to its penultimate destination—pure bliss for hazy late nights and refracted sunrise reverie. ‘Skeleton Dance’ will raise you from your slumber and lay the uncertainty to rest. - HPT

DC Promo Tracks: Justin Depth "Test Flight"

Justin Depth is the moniker of artist and co-label head of Image Research, Justin Myers. As a catch-all for his many different creations as producer and performer, his sound has touched on a near infinite array of electronic sounds like idm, ambient, drone, techno, broken-beat, downtempo, and many others. As 1/2 of the duo Alien House, he has also helped lay the foundation for a prolific output, most notably their most recent album ‘You’, a stunning display that exists in the cross-sections of futurist-leaning electronica.

Amidst a cloud of digital one-offs and concept-driven collected works, emerges the first physical Justin Depth offering to date, ‘Wired’. Engineered and realized through various tactile and interfacing methods, the 5 track EP is a crisp and tectonic offering, showing a keen attention to detail and a deep appreciation for beat-driven atmosphere. Against the backdrop of ambient texture and glossy surfaces, broken down breaks and percussion patterns cut through with precision and fluidity. Familiar and unobtainable all at once. Music for distant memories and close encounters. Twilight frequencies wired in time. - HPT
