Latvian duo Taran & Lomov present 'Semper Supra' – their debut LP on their own label Amber Muse; a refined and accomplish long player that showcases the tip of an iceberg patiently built across two dedicated and long-spanning careers in the music industry.

Together, the pair have managed to earn the coveted stripes of 'jack of many, master of many' across a fruitful and symbiotic 20 years. They've turned their hands to promotion, production, remixing, radio hosting, music journalism and DJing. At this point, they have a gilded resume that includes support for their releases from the likes of Jane Fitz and Laurent Garnier, releases on W&O Street Tracks, Josh Wink's Ovum Recordings and Dense & Pika's Kneaded Pains as Queer On Acid and of course – their basecamp – the Amber Muse Radio show.

Musically, 'Semper Supra' is a genre-flexing trip with its roots in early 2000s Minimal and late 90s Electronica. 9 tracks bearing flecks of influence from labels like Time Passages, Perlon and Warp as well as artists such as Black Dog, Metamatics, Binh and Jan Jelenik meld in a head-twisting brew - one that caters to listeners on any point in the spectrum between after-hours raver to armchair astronaut.
 
The glue in the record is the subtly haunting energy omitted by the synths, sweeps and atmospherics that course through the album. The spectral glow these conjure hangs gently over a variety of bpms and intensities, keepings things suffused in a dubby fog that gives a living, breathing sense of space and atmosphere.

Case and point being 'Nano Crab' - a patient, frosty recording that stacks energy in subtly folding layers of mangled, otherworldly signals and primal rhythms. 'Slow East' follows up with a skeletal Electro track that oozes with an ominous mood often clocked in Nicolas Lutz's extended sets.

The warped robotics and cold sonics of 'Slickers' are given life and mobility via groove and clever sequencing while 'Corp' whips up into a more frenzied zone. Alarm tones burnt and bit crushed while drums move with the sort of urgency required for boiling point dance floors before the title track provides an allaying landing pad as it scatters pin-prick melodies across a wide, icy soundscape.

waves of mind

Musically speaking, deep techno is the kind of dub that's an approximate aural recreation of the effect that the music has on the brain. The result is a haunting & tripped out experience where music acts as background music on purpose. It seldom tries to adventure into new territory, because its main purpose is to be placid and deeply soothing but also moving. Its mesmerizing & minimal sounds can create a placid effect i.e. adjective of a person not easily upset or excited.

Shades Of Sound Radio - September 2025

Since the news of Jay's death this August, I was not able to bring myself to write. On one hand, I would have so much to write about such a genius, but he meant so much to me personally too, so much that I could hardly start. In addition to all that has already been said about Jay, I would like to add my message, which is very personal to me.

I was the last manager Jay had; we did a lot together, from charities in South America to helping the victims of the tsunami in Japan alongside Seth Troxler. We released an album under the concept of Music 2.0, the interview he did that brought the Resident Advisor server down due to being such a polemic subject.

This album was titled Love=evolution. I did all the copywriting, tour bookings, and management with him. It was the first time I had ever managed an artist, let alone such a global tour. Not only did Jay initiate my career in music in this field of management, but during the time I managed him I had just graduated with a major in Psychology (Sociology & Third World Politics), and he also helped initiate me in mental health linked to artist work, which I still pursue today. During the years that Jay grew up, mental health was still a taboo, so I fear he did not receive enough support in that area. I would like to use this space to raise awareness of the importance of seeking and offering help to one another.

Jay had his demons, and in the past years it was quite hard for him, battling with the two sides of this genius personality: one the devil, and the other a true angel. An incredible genius of mind and artistry, one I want the memory of to live on, so I decided to release this recording.

This recording from fabric, 20 years ago, exactly in August, is one of my favourites, as valid then as it is valid now, this thing about timeless music.  When I started managing him in 2011, I got this recording to remind him of his own power; at that point he had already been through so much. Again, the battle for Jay was constant, so I used this as a reminder of the amazing beast he is. He nicknamed me Ice Dawg, following that.

My dear hizzle, rest in peace; your memory lives on.

I will do everything in my power to collect his unreleased music together with Lara, the beautiful daughter he left behind who lives in Peru with her mother, Estefania Vilallobos.

Love=Evolution, my darling, and we love(d) you.

<3
