The second release from Astral Records finds the label welcoming Nohak for his debut EP. Based in Lyon, the French artist has been a fresh name in the melodic house and techno world of late. 2020 proved to be Nohak’s best year to date, notching releases for Infinite Depth and Somatic Records, while receiving play and support from Tale Of Us and Oostil. Now following an EP for long standing Awen Tales, Nohak makes his much-anticipated Astral debut with ‘Diamonds’. 

Beginning with ‘Call Of Universe’ Nohak continues to explore the darker narratives for which he has become known for. A tough, machine gun style groove sits at the foundation, while crunchy rhythms and arpeggiated fragments fill in the framework. Both energetic and mysterious, it’s flair for the dramatic grows as icy overlays and astral meanderings lead to an expansive break. Spanning well over a minute in length, the storyboard then shifts with emotive chord changes and glowing atmospheres providing a sense of cosmic reflection, before getting washed away into a sea of pulsating grooves and fiery percussion.

The title selection ‘Diamonds’ sits as a perfect complement with it’s symphonic synth driven narrative. Following a gorgeous breakbeat intro the creation shifts into a robust 4/4 section highlighted by haunting vocals and astral sonics. Dramatic yet emotive, the centerpiece gently builds as breathy wails and wispy effects converge for a glowing apex as the beats drop for a commanding finish. It caps off an inspired EP from Nohak, making for a brilliant debut on Astral Records.

Oclum - Thunder Drums (Original Mix)  [Univack]

Astral Records continues a strong start by welcoming Paul Angelo and Don Argento to the label for their first EP. Hailing from Cyprus, the much loved duo have been regular contributors to parent label Movement Recordings, having appeared there seven times since making their debut in 2017. Often walking the line between melodic house and techno and progressive house, Paul and Don have become fixtures in Beatport's sales charts of late with a string of impressive outings via Clubsonica Records, Timeless Moment and UV. Now making a welcome debut on Astral, the duo presents a three-track showcase entitled 'Icarus'. 

Working well with the label's ethos Paul and Don lean closer to the melodic house and techno side of their studio repertoire. The title selection 'Icarus' sets the tone with a pulsating, hypno groove and a simple yet foreboding arp. Stripped and tense in equal measure, the duo build drama across the first act with rising modulation, percussive splashes and a backdrop of prophetic pads. Opening up during the main break, a wave of atmospheric swells rises momentarily, gently teasing the senses before getting pulled back in favour of the deliberate groove and meditative structures. 

'Daedalus' follows with a further lean towards astral techno territory. Although perhaps best known for their peak time creations the track furthers the sentiment that Paul and Don are equally adept at crafting more subtle, refined selections. Smooth and rhythmic in all the right ways, spacious percussion and cosmic arps descend over the rippling foundation, as haunting overlays add colour and texture at opportune moments. Expanding across a one-minute centrepiece, trippy synth clusters sit at the emotional core of the track, elevating mood before eventually getting washed away in favour of the main arp and a compact groove.

Rounding out the release is 'Phaethon' which finds Paul and Don exploring another unique amalgamation of techno grooves and astral aesthetics. Backed by a rippling foundation and tight rhythms, it's fluid drive quickly becomes infectious. Billowing stabs and trailing effects offset each other nicely, as the romping beats build momentum across the first act. Icy tones strike at opportune moments leading into the main break, adding additional depth as its hypnotic drawl saturates your senses during a dramatic final movement. It rounds out a superb Astral Records debut for Paul and Don, who continue to expand their creative scope with the 'Icarus' collection.

Hover Mind Ascension 001 - Eleven Of July

The latest release from Tash's Movement Limited imprint welcomes Damiana to the label for her debut EP. Although a new name in the world of electronic music, the Serbian artist has been an accomplished musician for some time. Learning to play the piano at the age of seven eventually led to a master's degree in Classical Music in 2012. Over the better part of the last decade Damiana has been a member in several bands as a piano player, performing a variety of styles from Rock to Funk to Electronic, while also playing live alongside cutting-edge DJs. Drawing inspiration from Jean Michele Jarre and Stephan Bodzin, Damiana has been creating her own original music of late, based around a live performance concept. Now debuting this sound to the world, the talented Serbian debuts on Movement Limited with a three-track showcase entitled 'You and Me'.

Drawing a variety of timeless sensibilities, it is the title selection which leads the release off. Captivating from the start, it's perfectly sculpted beats are warm and powerful, anchoring what is a fluid, key changing foundation. Crafted with precision and care, layers of tantalizing percussion are blanketed with kaleidoscopic arps and tepid swells. A symphonic top line rounds off the musical narrative quite nicely, leading to a break with indistinct vocal choirs and a quiet calm which perfectly sets up a gorgeous finale.

The journey continues with the thoughtful moods of 'Faith'. Nicely tied to the ethos of the EP, Damiana marries a variety of classical concepts with meditative rhythms and tranquil textures. It's a transcendent and highly emotive storyboard, culminating with a maze of arpeggiated keys and symphonic swells, the combination of which makes for a hugely memorable conclusion.

The release is capped off in fine fashion with the reflective vibes of 'Never'. Immediately compelling, it's deliberate bass tones and broken beats lay the foundation for meandering arp fragments, ghostly vocal wails and a hugely emotive lead line. Its effortless mood grows subtly, as tasteful modulation and placid pads add an impassioned slant to what is already a magical storyboard. Compelling work from Damiana, which rounds out a collection of music that makes her an artist to watch going forward. Highly recommended.

The Science Of The Soul

Revan Ø & Sineu - The Science Of The Soul (Øriginal Mix)

Ãstrαλ comes "of the stars"... an ecstatic, mystical out-of-body experience, wherein the spiritual traveller leaves the physical body & travels in an astral body onto ‘higher’ realms.

Meaning ‘of the stars’ - Astral can be thought of an ecstatic, mystical out-of-body experience, wherein the spiritual traveler leaves the physical body & travels in an astral body onto ‘higher' realms.
A fitting description for the musical blueprint of the label which looks to showcase the best in contemporary melodic house and techno. Holding down the A&R duties is Paul Anthonee who has been operating at the heart of the genre since it’s early beginnings..
