Why do we tell stories?

We breathe, we eat, we sleep. We seek connection. These are our basic human needs.

But there is one more need we all share, and it centres on stories. All across the world, stories are being recounted everywhere, in every imaginable way, at any given time. For telling stories is at the very essence of what it is to be human.

The universe of stories can be broken down into seven basic plots which underlie all stories ever told. Recognising these patterns is the gateway to unravelling the universal symbolic language from which all storytelling is spun.

With Voyage & Return, Chapter 24 returns with seven tracks collected from artists across the world to bring these themes to life. 

This broad-ranging edition of the series spans storytelling electronica from Peruvian Luis Leon, while NO GRAVITY and Olivier Weiter offer two variations on the broken beat theme. Meanwhile, label newcomers Yacine Dessouki & Alani make their own contribution with the organic house of the powerful opening track. 

Elsewhere big dancefloor cuts are offered by QUARTZ and Several Definitions, before deft emotional composition from Christopher Ivor brings the compilation to a clean and satisfying close.

They say that there are only seven basic plots but a thousand different stories. 

And so, as the storyteller utters that age-old, magical phrase "Once upon a time...", let yourself be carried away…

Released on Friday 26th May.

Early support from the likes of Above & Beyond, Nick Warren, Edu Imbernon, DJ T, Eelke Kleijn, Lee Van Dowski, Danny Tenaglia, Betoko, Silicone Soul, Cristoph, Darin Epsilon, Gai Barone, Marc DePulse, Cid Inc, John Monkman, Soul Button, Marc Poppcke, Atish, Franz Alice Stern, Elias Tzikas, Lonya, Djuma Soundsystem and many more.

Dear Music, 
I will never be able to thank you enough for always being there for me! You are the only art form that allows me to free trapped emotions. Your secret is the repetition of the beautiful motif. You promise things that do not keep life. You can change someone's life and even save it. You are the only way to describe emotions for which I have no words. You are the language of my mind.
Thank you for always inspiring me. You are my anchor to stay alive! No one can take you away from me because you are so deep in my heart. You are the love of my life!

i love my music. music is the key. my healer.
glow...feel...be music...dance🌟
It's a spiritual thing, ...a body thing ...a soul thing 
house music all night long...💞
