“One of the world’s finest purveyors of music to chill out to”(Pitchfork), Mark Barrott’s new album ‘Jōhatsu (蒸発)’, an 8 track film score, is out now on Reflections.

Mark Barrott is an artist that creatively speaking, never stops moving. His musical career has taken many forms. Some know him as Future Loop Foundation, the alias he used to create and perform ambient drum and bass from the mid-90s. Some know him for his Sketches from an Island albums, which he released under his own name, and others know him as the founder of the highly influential International Feel label, a label that spearheaded the bespoke vinyl movement of the 2010's and brought DJ Harvey out of studio retirement. Barrott has spent close to four decades exploring new sonic territory and pushing the boundaries of various genres and is considered a pivotal figure in the revival of the Balearic music scene of the last decade.

Mark's new album, 'Jōhatsu (蒸発)', is predictably unpredictable. Out now on Above & Beyond's new downtempo imprint Reflections, the album is a full departure from anything Mark has written before, partly because he was writing to moving picture. In 2019, Mark was commissioned by a director to write the score for their new documentary, 'Jōhatsu (蒸発) ... the art of Evaporation'.

'Jōhatsu (蒸発)' is an 8-track journey through the sounds, sights, smells and sensations of traditional and contemporary Japanese culture.

Every year, it is estimated that as many as 100,000 people in Japan vanish, without a trace. These are the so-called johatsu. The evaporated people. People become jōhatsu for many different reasons including addiction, divorce and job loss. While some people may consider taking their own lives, others simply… evaporate. Jōhatsu refers to these people who purposefully leave the lives they knew behind.

'Jōhatsu... the art of Evaporation', shadowed a Japanese man as he went through this exact process, paying a contractor to help him vanish, moving from central Kyoto to Scandinavia. Scene notes from the director and shots of Kyoto at night-time, rural Japan, and Scandinavian forest-scapes informed Barrott's musical direction for the project.

The tracks on this album are the 'full' pieces - those written for the longer sequences of film. 

'Jōhatsu (蒸発)' is a fairly air-tight representation of Mark Barrott as an artist. It's spontaneous, it's unexpected, it's unrestricted and it's a gorgeous listening experience. It's the sound of an artist set free, without creative restraints. If music could fly, 'Jōhatsu (蒸発)' has wings.

Release date: 16 October 2023

Hailing from Rotterdam, Netherlands-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Talee makes his debut on Reflections with his mesmerising EP ‘My Mother Was A Synthesizer’. 

Born out of a psychedelic experience, Talee first emerged on the scene in 2020 with his remix of Belgian Trance DJ Jonas Steur’s 'Fall To Pieces’, landing straight into Spotify’s New Music Friday Dance and showcasing his unique flair. Following a successful debut, Talee revealed his first AA-side projects on Berlin-based record label Disco Halal in 2022 under the mentorship of label-had Moscoman, touring the projects at 20+ live shows across the Netherlands. 

Inspired by the likes of LCD Sound System, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and James Blake, Talee’s new EP blends an array of vintage synthesizers, guitar licks and electronic beats with his voice, blurring the lines between genres to cement his own hybrid sound. The project explores the theme of family dynamics, from the intimate and distant emotions, and all the moments in between, while celebrating the strangers that become chosen family overtime.

In September 2023, Talee was awarded ‘Best Producer of Rotterdam’ by The Grand Prix of Rotterdam - an emerging talent initiative in the Netherlands. He is now set to play the main stage for Rotterdam’s Liberation Day Festival in May 2024, which is host to several thousand attendees.

Talee ‘My Mother Was A Synthesizer EP’ is out now on Reflections.

Oblivion 027 @ di.fm with Vince Forwards

Introspective, personal and soul-stirring. With his fourth artist album, Dutch chill composer Sebastian Davidson tells the story of rejoining the inner and the outer after the pandemic and the loss of his father. 

Each of the eleven tracks, from ‘Feel Good’ and ‘Elsewhere’ to ‘Who You’ and title track ‘Reconnect’, captures a significant moment in the process, outlining — and soundtracking — the journey of someone adrift trying to reach the shore. 

It is this album that beautifully details the confliction emotions and different forms of expression, indicating the subtle steps forward as well as the ebb and flow of feeling. And it is here where Sebastian Davidson found his way forward, now presenting a body of work that others can also draw an endless supply of strength from: ‘Reconnect’. 

1. Reconnect
2. Elsewhere
3. Grotto
4. Frisson
5. Shame
6. Feel Grey
7. Who You
8. Feel Good
9. Just a Path
10. Miss You
11. Luminal

Championing a new wave of emerging talent, Reflections presents the seventh instalment of their various artist EP series on the label.

Egyptian-born producer and environmental scientist, Nourey makes her debut on the label with a stunning neo-classical composition ’To Where Dreams Are’, which features a lullaby of mellow horns, piano and enchanting strings. Followed up by Glaswegian composer-producer Turtle, and his dreamy production ‘Falls Of Avich’ that intertwines ambient synths and gentle piano motifs.

Balearic legend Steve Miller aka Afterlife, presents the third track on the EP. Known for his iconic chill out sets in Ibiza since the early 90s, Miller has been a prominent figure in the electronic music scene, contributing to numerous Café Del Mar compilations as well as a sought after remixer working with the likes of Sinead O’Connor, Roger Sanchez and Lana Del Rey. Here he delivers a fine tuned atmospheric, meditative composition ‘Wide Awake’. 

Next up on the EP is a debut from Scottish producer and composer Faodail, meaning ‘a lucky find’ in Gaelic, who weaves soft percussive elements with melodic synths on his new track ‘Entangled’. Closing the project is Tokyo-based sound artist Yui Onodera with ‘IZUMO', a soothing composition of electro-acoustic elements and field recordings that create a delicate soundscape. 

'Reflections 07' is out now on Reflections.

Matthias Vogt releases the deluxe version of his 10-track album Ten As One on Anjunadeep’s sister imprint Reflections, featuring 4 new tracks and edits of the original songs.

Matthias Vogt’s production journey is unconventional to say the least. His early influences came from church, jazz band and Frankfurt’s underground, so his music is a sonic melting pot. Over his decades-long career, Vogt has released dozens of albums under various aliases, including Motorcitysoul and [re:jazz], but his eponymous Matthias Vogt project is where his passion for electronic music, club culture and deep listening intertwine.

His first releases as Matthias Vogt were deep house productions on labels like Polytone Recordings, Saw Recordings and Komplex De Deep. His first release on Anjunadeep came out in 2015, a 3-track house EP that treads the line between hopeful and melancholy. His work took a turn in 2022 with the release of his Pianissimo album, which he describes as a political project. He took away the beats, the bass and the breaks and replaced them with slow-moving music accompanied by soundbites from climate change activists.

His Ten As One album was supposed to follow similar themes, but instead it developed into an album of exploration and collaboration. Vogt saw an opportunity to connect with some of his favourite artists, and teamed up with Johanna Klein, Hans Berg and Sato on several tracks. The result is a project that’s both collaborative and introspective, with each track bouncing back and forth between the artists until they landed on the perfect version.

The new version of the album features 4 brand new tracks, aptly named ‘One’ ‘Two’ ‘Three’ and ‘Four’. They are taken from a series of ambient jam sessions Matthias Vogt performed at Cream Studios in Frankfurt earlier this year.
