Excellent intriguing ambient composition!

Fragile X_Ambient/Drone/Drift/Absolute Chill

In July last year we let loose our first excursion on vinyl, and from then on in it's been a crazy year. We're 3 EPs in now and we feel each one has been a huge step towards defining what has become the Tribal Pulse sound. We'll be doing more of the same in 2014, and we've got some recordings lined up that we feel are truly beautiful and unique.

However, we've been racking our brains to come up with an idea that'll shake things up a bit. With that in mind, we're proud to present "Tribal Pulse FOUR". Every fourth release from us will be a little bit different. These releases will be digital-only compilations where we'll introduce new artists into the family and expand a little genre-wise, releasing music that we love, but that wouldn't usually feature on the label.

We're delighted to be able to add 2 new artists to our family with the beginning of this new series. First up we welcome Glasgow-based ambient composer Fragile X. Here he records guitar parts to cassette, before stretching and cutting the tape many times over along with an array of effects to create "Sonder", a surreal soundscape that's brimming with colour.

Next up we have label stalwarts Boom Merchant and Acidulant. Boom Merchant brings the thumping rhythms of "Collage" to a crescendo of dense advancing basslines, funk-driven acid and gentle melodic sweeps.

Meanwhile, Acidulant's "x33345" carries listeners off into a melee of smart percussion work, intricate smears of 303 and sounds from outer space.

Last but not least we welcome Greek veteran producer Corvum. He recorded the first episode of our podcast series, and here he debuts on the label with 'Apoptygma', a dark mechanical techno monster. We loved the energy of this track, with it's dark throbs of distorted bass.

We hope you enjoy the experience of listening to these tracks as much as we've enjoyed discovering them.

"Icarus" is my interpretation of what it would sound and feel like if I were slowly flying towards the sun.

Antedote to a Frozen Mind

Work in progress. I'm slowly progressing on my new album. This track started with an intense drone and bass-part, but so many verions later I think all of the original stems are left out, and replaced by these slightly distorted reverb guitar parts. Still some work to do on this one, but I like where it is going!

Hawkdream is a live instrumental music project founded by Brian Brown, who is a talented musician from the UK. He creates some of the coolest spacey synth music out there! He started out in 2012 and so far has released over 17 Hawkdream albums. The music of Hawkdream has layers upon layers of diverse, spatial ambience. There is also some really cool Tangerine Dream elements interwoven at times. Anyone digging Kitaro or Vangelis will also dig this music! In our opinion, there seems to be an overall feeling of Nature flowing with the Earth as one, a true essence of serenity merging with the dark waves of time.

AstroConnect.
 AstroConnect is Brian Brown (HawkDream) and
Manny Leigh. Brian is located in the UK and Manny is in
the US northwest, almost 5000 miles apart. AstroConnect is
an electronic duo performing mostly ambient, some Berlin
style and sometimes a little neurotic chaos for your
listening pleasure.
 All AstroConnect music is recorded 100% live via the
Internet no overdubs. We don't rehearse. We may have a
simple idea and just get to it, maybe choose a chord
progression. The recorded tracks are all improvised on the
spot.
 Brian performs Synth Voodoo on his bank of
synthesizers including a Roland Jupiter 80, Yamaha Motive
7, Motive 6, EX7, CS1X(x2). Manny primarily uses a
Yamaha WX5 Wind controller and sometimes throws in
some keyboard controller stuff, maybe some guitar, both
midi and magnetic. Often it gets so deep that nobody
knows who is playing what. It all just flows together into
one great track. This is the essence of playing 100% LIVE
half a world apart.  AstroConnect started playing live in 2013, the tracks
were limited to mono only, so some of the effects were a
little weak. This was due to internet limitations and
hardware deficiencies. In the summer of 2014 Manny
added more hardware and worked out the process of
recording in high quality stereo. AstroConnect hopes the
sound is now up to your headphone listening standards.
Please don't forget this is all recorded 100% live almost
5000 miles apart, that's why were called AstroConnect!
