SubmitCloud - February 2018

"Truly breathtaking, the EP perfectly showcases Paul’s artistry in combining complex and evolving drum rhythms with synth and sub-bass, and brings forth a new form of deeply haunting, ambient, atmospheric, beats-based soundscapes for contemporary classical electronica, a combination that heralds a distinctly evolutionary development for the producer that gives much to be excited about.

This is a sound that is evocative of the melodies of Nils Frahm and the sparse beats of James Blake, melded with the melancholy ambient of Boards of Canada, but it’s a sound that’s still completely unique and his own."

In Dreams

Album release April 2018

Alone in the world, we find ourselves. Inside ourselves, we find something to share with the world. 
The Essential John Moods, a solo album in all senses of the word, is what Jonathan Jarzyna of Fenster found in himself during a summer spent hiking along the Iberian coast, and he now wants to share it with you. A mini-guitar on his back and a copy of GarageBand on his phone allowed Jarzyna to record songs each evening as he arrived in a new town after a long day traveling by foot. (He did, admittedly, add live drum tracks and some additional instrumentation back in Berlin.) The album preserves this peripatetic feeling, each song relating to the next as one city or village relates to its neighbor, its unique situation contrasting with the shared architectural vernacular. Blipping instrumental interludes (“Trainride,” “Pontevedra,” “Coastal Way”) even capture the disordered, delirious feeling of transit hubs and the sleep-bleared mystery of waking on an unfamiliar road.
“I just came alive completely” are the first words Jarzyna murmurs on “New Spring,” invoking the spirit of the album. He speaks not of the liveliness of manic activity, but the heightened, tender sensitivity of presence. It’s a fullness of living captured by the transition from the lush, jangling groove of “The Weight” to the spacious contemplation of “Pawns.” The dreamy echo of the 60s’ and 70s’ soft rock and folk troubadours suffuses the album, and the organ-soaked “Where In The World” even has a psychedelic tinge. But the overall effect is quite contemporary, from the back-of-the-nightbus lounge funk of “Take It Home” (featuring an amazing turn from arch-crooner Sean Nicholas Savage) to the mournful cupboard jazz of “Almost Gone.” “Dark Wall”  sounds like a honkytonk ramble alongside a robot tentatively learning to play lap steel. “Leap of Love,” an early album highlight, passes over the listener in shimmering waves, a love song which remains a mystery even to its creator. 
In the meditation tape coda “Relax Your Foot,” Jarzyna selects the perfect sample to encapsulate The Essential John Moods’ hopeful receptivity: the late Professor Carl Sagan reminding us that “despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness.”

Antiphon For SRX

After musical refocusing, the song Perpetual is the first official release by Taroug. A solo project by german-tunisian electronic music artist Tarek Zarroug. The lyrics are describing an abstract sight of a wormhole in a humans mind. The eternal dance between closeness and distance. Between imagination and reality. Like a mirage in the desert. 

The tracks artwork visualizes the idea from a first-person perspective traveling through dimensions. From here to there and backwards. From sciera to pupil.

You devour me from the room, 
into the inside of your bloom. 
Spit me out behind the light ray, 
your shape is a step in my mind ballet.

Perpetual (feat. Sohnemann)

Paul McGillivray is a seasoned producer, writing and releasing for over 25 years under the moniker Bluze. He has worked within the UK Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, Dubstep and, more recently, Electronica scenes. 

November 2017 marked the release of aptly-named new EP ‘Broken Bounds’ on the UK Independent label 'Cold Hill’. The first release of his career under his own name.

With this release, Paul shares the culmination of a life working with beats-based music that is now deeply integrated with his background of classical training on piano.

Truly breathtaking, the EP perfectly showcases Paul’s artistry in combining complex and evolving drum rhythms with synth and sub-bass, and brings forth a new form of deeply haunting, ambient, atmospheric, beats-based soundscapes for contemporary classical electronica, a combination that heralds a distinctly evolutionary development for the producer that gives much to be excited about.

This is a sound that is evocative of the melodies of Nils Frahm and the sparse beats of James Blake, melded with the melancholy ambient of Boards of Canada, but it’s a sound that’s still completely unique and his own.

His live shows have taken him all over the world, from performing regularly at Brighton's Cafe Expose, to prestigious club appearances from Ministry Of Sound in London to Baze in San Paolo, Brazil, and Prague alongside Fabio, and at Wilderness and Somersault Festivals as part of the Arūpa Gold project.

Paul is currently working in the studio on his forthcoming album, which will be released in the summer of 2018 and alongside the Broken Bounds EP, forms the basis for his set for this years live performances and festivals.
