RELEASES

Bubbling under the bog water comes a murky oneiric vision from an astralopithecus... a primitive psychonaut lost in a realm of their own creation.

The result is a collection of spring peepers to keep you aerated and elated. A miasma of plasmatic echoes prepared with care over many blood moons.

Cydux (@user-952505195), the alter alias of Cosmic Resonance's @hemingway, embodies James' love of rave and reve—music for slumber or sprints. To add that special something, Cosmic Resonance alum Nic Fields aka @innertouch brings their own teamwerk into the mix, adding extra ripples to the pond.

Helios EP - Cydux (Previews)

The clouds passed by ever so slowly as he watched from the window of the aeroplane. It were as if they had been painted atop a dense blue backdrop, a constant presence against which they might float. He knew that they must move, burst or vanish at some point but for now they were happy floating above the noisy world below, happy in ignorant bliss of the wild west down there.

There was something to be said about the sky, for the birds found it to be home, a place to escape when things get a little too loud.

As they weaved and wandered between the clouds, he wondered if it might be better to stay up here, rather than return to earth.

Ludwig A.F. features on a splendid compilation celebrating twenty five years of Live At Robert Johnson. The longstanding record label and club remains a stalwart of the underground and the compilation sees them invite friends and family to contribute to the ever progressive sound that the Frankfurt institution has become known for.

PREMIERE: Ludwig A.F. - Sky [Live At Robert Johnson]

Hammer shares his ‘Highland’ EP feat. Lili Chan, blending ethereal vocals with bold, sweeping synths to stunning effect. Released on the HE.SHE.THEY. label, the project showcases their unique synergy and creative spark.
Their partnership was immediate—Hammer, a dynamic presence in the electronic music scene, is known for both his genre-defying DJ sets and his innovative productions, with notable supporters like Gerd Janson, Bicep, and Jamie Jones backing his work.
Lili Chan, who debuted last year with Wabi Sabi on HE.SHE.THEY. Records, has quickly established herself as a rising talent. Her groundbreaking year includes ongoing support from BBC Radio 1’s specialist dance shows, a Guest Mix on 1Xtra, and standout performances at major venues like Drumsheds and Fabric.
For this EP, the pair drew on a sweeping sense of imagination for the title track. “‘Highland’ is about being awestruck by the limitless possibilities of the mind,” they explain. The track features euphoric melodies paired with Lili Chan’s soaring vocals.
On Avalanche, the duo took inspiration from one of the iconic venues on their tour circuit: “We wanted a heads-down club banger, something that would fit perfectly at Fabric.” When they debuted it there, the crowd’s reaction was nothing short of ecstatic.

We are proud to present catalogue number 46, created by our compatriot, music magician and co-owner of IDA label - Denis Kolomensky, who is now creating in the heart of Serbia.

E-Drip is a powerfully intense release with a cosmic atmosphere. Everything is found here: from broken beats infused with techno-energy, to high-pitched bass and exciting percussion. This release is a true ode to breakbeat and experimentation at its best! The release is enriched with unique remixes from German American producer UrbnMowgli, who added his energy and electrified the main track. And Englishman Tom Vernon reinterpreted the original, immersing it in the atmosphere of LO FI waves.
Each of them brought their own innovative sound to create something truly unforgettable.

PREMIERE : Kolomensky -  E-Drip (Original Mix)

Star Creature is a label and artist collective based in Chicago, founded by Tim Zawada in 2015. Left leaning, music from across the tempo spectrum, available on wax for DJs and Dancers, 200 vinyl releases in and 10 years in the game, still pushing their sound forward and still ahead of the curve. Their wide-ranging catalog is a constant conversation between Windy City DJ booths, record shops and dancefloors and the global community that is hungry for that ‘Taste of Chicago’. The roster includes E. Live, Saucy Lady, Giovanni Damico, Shiro Schwarz, Mogwaa, Midnight Runners, JKriv, Stimulator Jones, XL Middleton, and Chicago's own Donnell Pitman, with hot remixes from Derrick Carter, Caribou (Daphni), Byron The Aquarius, Phil Gerus and Hotmood.
Over the past decade St Petersburg artist, A Vision of Panorama, has released some of the most beguiling Nu-Balearic now becoming one of the most trusted names in the global Deep-Space Disco, Future Boogie and Softcore Club Scenes. Drawing on sun kissed synthesizer grooves, languid nu-disco and hazy pop for inspiration, he serves up plush, symphonic synth tapestries dripping with good vibes and accomplished musicality.
Here Star Creature and AVOP continue their fruitful partnership with another massive 12" - the follow up to the largely instrumental Fusion To Illusion LP - which takes us back to the Nu-Balearic Deep House Boogie RnB zone that this duo does so perfectly well. Cool Sounding, no cheese, futuristic yet retro, AVOP taps up collaborators Sykes and Stacie G for prime-time casual lounge soft-core vocal vibes. The A Side also sees previous 7" only tune ‘Purple’ get the 12" treatment alongside instrumental ‘Ear Dreamin'. Flip it over for some dreamy instrumentals.

https://soundcloud.com/norusmusic: With a hypnotic blend of textures and jazz elements, this mix was recorded with the intention of being an escape valve, both for me while creating it and for those who will listen to it.  A movement to appreciate the present moment and forget, even if briefly, everything that surrounds us.

Klex blobbing his first solo EP on Strictly Strictly, pushing forward with his virtually self-titled "Klextasy EP". Entangling techy trance strikers with dreamily warm temperament, Klex offers three strikingly quirky productions on side A, blending surprisingly seamlessly from bouncy to anthemic passages. Accompanied by a strong team of remixers, with Viikatory, Lakehead, and DJ Normal 4 pressing a psy-techy stamp on side B. Digital Bonus: Two extra Remixes from Urte and once again Normal 4. A release like a steamy open-air summer night by the lake.

Rising star Remotif returns to Especial with a full complement of his “trance fusion”, a modern-day ethnicity of breakbeat techno dance music. With releases on Coymix, and Space Lab, as well as soon appearing on the cult label Avidya, plus a burgeoning DJ career from Fabric to Berlin’s seminal Warning parties, his time and space is now.

A standout inclusion on the last Especial sampler “Comunion Especial” (EES040) was a prescient to a pure natural ability to create hypnotic grooves. Part of the burgeoning Bristol scene Joe “Remotif” Reddick has steadily built a series of releases and admirers, a psychedelic swirl of bouncing beats, oscillating rhythms and trippy vox that capture a moment of merging zeitgeist.

Starting with U 15, this is prime time, jacking Remotif, where melody, samples, and beats angelate, stretch and absorb, almost devotional, but always engaging the feet and mind, a blissful science, daring shanti awakenings.

Deep and dripping, the organic ooze of Glint's Pursuit follows. Tribal percussion, shimmery timbres, siren vocals, the sharpness created by slowing the bpms giving oxygen to our experience. Rising, rising.

The Elevated Place sums much of Remotif’s music. His personal highs (and lows) encompassed via sound design. Acidic, nocturnal, skywards, the unquantifiable stream of emotion is in there, a very genuine capturing of a personal journey wrought from machines, translating into a musical form. The lost chord, the funk electric. Whichever, the drop ethereal, the breaks supertight, the hope unrelenting. An apt EP title.

The end (for now) an inverse to Joe’s universe. The space between, the afters, the dub, the mantra, nodding to Bristol’s music history, The Sunken Place is a groove-led, break-neck, trip-not, head-swinging, deftly-made electronic micro-symphony. From the 90s to the 20’s, San Francisco to Stroom, Remotif rides the signal.

Cosmic Resonance is a Toronto-based record label that's only been around for a short while. It was launched in 2017 with a single entitled "Blue Notes" that was shortly followed up by the imprint's first vinyl outing "Memoirs" from label co-founder Hemingway. The ethos of the label is to promote jazz, funk and contemporary electronic music, specifically from the Toronto area. So far they've done just that. Their sparse discography features locals Raf Reza and Korea Town Acid, as well as Hemingway. 

Next up the label introduces it's first various artists compilation, with artists from, you guessed it, Toronto's underground electronic scene. Entitled Cosmic Residents, the music on the compilation goes beyond genres, spanning across quite a few and featuring sounds both cosmic and terrestrial. This first edition features returning local favourites and Cosmic Resonance residents Radiant Aura Faculty (aka Raf Reza), KOREA TOWN ACID and Hemingway along with newcomers (and making their vinyl and Cosmic Resonance debut) Body Butter, WeTurnToRed and Smoke & Shadows.

Today we're shifting our focus to the premiere and A1 track, "Astralnauts". A funked out bass starts things off alongside some airy pads and appropriate cosmic atmospheres. Jumping right into it, the track has got a fantastic groove that combines plenty of squelchy synths, a funky flute, rhythm guitar and some jazzy keys to boot. All of these elements are expertly applied in the arrangement where no one overpowers the other and only leaves you wanting more from the boogie monster that just had a go at your feet.

The compilation will be out real soon, but in the meantime keep an eye on the label's Bandcamp to get your copy when it hits shelves.

PREMIERE: Hemingway - Astralnauts

Joshua Reichmann (XLEXCIEL) is a multi-disciplinary artist. He relays phantasmagoric and epochal shifting transmission through music and film and offers psychic and Akashic readings.

XLEXCEIL has released multiple recordings which have garnered him national and international attention, among others in Dazed and Confused, Fader, XLR8R, and Pitchfork.

This latest digital single release is a collaboration between Josh and Cosmic Resonance Records' Hemingway and Chris Evans entitled Dharmakaya (Hemingway Dub). The track is a remix from Josh's recently released album, XLEXCIEL ( https://joshreichmann1.bandcamp.com/track/dharmakaya ). This reimagination of XLECIEL's ambient epic weaves jazzed-out space echo-drenched guitar with a pulsing electro boogie groove. Atop the beat foundation soars XLEXCIEL's powerful vocal declarations on death and enlightenment.

Josh describes the track as such...

"Freedom pre-jazz-funk to build your Merkabah Ark. Jamming the frequency from the hexagon on Saturn. Channeling the angelic realms and the galactic assembly. The geometry of love beyond measure, measured.

Ascension building earth song from the light language of hieroglyphic pre-linear thought-forms. Lucid dream tech and dharma music for our degraded age. Powerful Peace."
