Scandi-lous! We’ve got another other-worldly record for you, courtesy of who? Jeku! The man from Helsinki has given us a much-coveted gift, a gift that traverses incredulity yet still thankfully remains harnessed to the human realm. The story that started below the ozone layer has moved to the stratosphere. Transcendence is coming, and boy has he been busy.

Known to Haŵs and now known to you, Jeku has once more imbued his machine army with the power of time-tested inspirators. Mainlining Roland majesty and early 00s prog into his latest brainchild, the Transcendence EP puts paid to the idea of a record as an interdependent piece of club literature, flowing from one to the next and indulging in a timeless chant between two worlds.

No subterfuge, just a guy from the underground with two ears for unparalleled tranceability. No description, just listen and try not to ascend. It can’t be done. It’s Jeku for you.

Artist: Kage
Title: Meke
Label: Curated By Time
Cat No: BYTIME013
Format: 12” Vinyl


Tracklist: 

A1. Meke
A2. Safe Passage
A3. North Star
B1. Captivity
B2. Return to Ovalau
B3. Rituals

Curated By Time ventures back to the year 2000 with their latest release. It’s a re-issue of Kage’s Meke EP, featuring six distinct cuts of dancefloor-geared musical goodness.

The title track takes centre stage, a thick and chunky tech house number that’s packed full of low-slung, club-ready sub. Safe Passage continues in a similar vein, with rolling bass tones sat beside gritty synth pulses throughout.

We’re then graced with the ethereal sounds of North Star, acting as a gentle interlude before Captivity ups the tempo once more, as whomping synths lead us deep into heads down, hands up territory.

Proceedings then slow down on Return To Ovalau, a penultimate track made up of calming ambient elements. Transporting us to worlds far removed from our own, Rituals then closes proceedings on a similarly dream-like note, rounding off the re-issue in euphoric, club-ready bliss.

Up next, Marginal Returns is happy to finally unveil Gwenan’s debut EP. Already familiar to many via her DJ sets at various notable events over the past years - from festival main-stage techno to backroom boutique ambient - 2023 finally raises the curtain on Gwenan’s studio output. 
 
Activation Energy presents an elegant, particular and personable take on rhythmic electronic music, taking in A1’s downtempo, dub shrouded ‘Rhythm Delay’, the sneakily effective plucked lilt of A2 ‘Foundation’, the contemplative, emotive glide of B1 ‘Control Change’ and B2 ‘Attention Movement’s brooding syncopation.
