***The stunning debut album from Fractal Architect**

Featuring collaborations with Daniela Rhodes, juSt b and Ren Faye.

On the 19th October 2017 an astronomer at an observatory in Hawaii was looking into deep space when he saw something unusual. Through the lens of his telescope he saw an object that didn’t behave like anything he had ever seen before. 

It was travelling very fast and was following no recognised orbit. It soon became clear that this object had originated from an unimaginably distant place in the depths of interstellar space, far beyond our solar system.

Some members of the astronomy community began to postulate that this strange object might be something other than just a comet, maybe this object was a visitor from a distant world?

The object was named ‘Oumuamua after the Hawaiian for ‘Scout’

I wonder what a visitor from a distant civilisation might think of our planet, our world. How would they view the custodians of this unique and beautiful place? 

How would they view greed and short term thinking that is destroying the planet, how would they view war, poverty, drought and famine? All of these things are avoidable, but the masses always suffer at the hands of the few who would rather build fortunes they could never spend. 

This collection of songs were written over the last two years, set against the backdrop of unprecedented upheaval and global challenges. Sadness and joy, darkness and light, each song is a chapter in the story of how we have arrived at this point in time and space, and where we might be headed in the future.

Enjoy the journey!

Presenting their first and much anticipated artist album, about:river returns to Sound Avenue with long player ‘24 Years Apart'. Based in Estonia, about:river is a unique collaborative project between father and son. Conceptualized by father Oleg in 2018, the following year saw his 12-year-old son Ervin join the project. Initially a clarinet and keyboard player, Ervin quickly became a committed member of the project, contributing not only to live performances but also in the creative process, writing the main themes of their musical creations. Their productions tell a dynamic and sometimes epic story that happens to be set in a dance-groove environment. Since first emerging, the duo's fresh style has continued to delight both their fans and contemporaries, with the world's premiere electronic music tastemakers championing their work. An initial bond with Sound Avenue began in 2021 when the duo took to remodeling Nopi's ‘Flatter', before going on to release the thematic three tracker ‘Three Drops of Dopamine' earlier this year. With twenty-four years separating this elusive father and son duo, it seems only fitting that they unveil the biggest project of their young careers via Sound Avenue, an expansive audio travelogue appropriately titled ‘24 Years Apart'. 

Comprised of twelve distinctive and equally compelling creations, it is the deep, nourishing sounds of' ‘Seven Cats' which sets the tone for the album. Instantly seductive, its delicate beats and dulcet pianos provide the perfect prelude to 'Frozen'. As the album's first showcase piece, about:river flexes their free thinking muscles with evolving, emotional and hypnotizing structures, allowing the listener to relish in the groove, building anticipation towards an array of colourful keys and warm atmospheric phrasing. Continuing to diversify their portfolio, selection three ‘Snowing Inside' lands as the collection's second showcase piece and finds the duo at the peak of their creative powers, juxtaposing soulful instrumentation over exotic drum arrangements for a heartfelt seven-minute journey. Meanwhile, on ‘Two Birds' dusty percussion flickers through misty textural refrains, while melancholic keys paint a wondrous rustic landscape. 

about: river's knack for storytelling resonates across selection five, the aptly titled ‘Moonlight'. Full of detail and idiosyncrasies, it's a dimly lit voyage where the duo explores a storyboard of glassy motifs, balmy swells and meandering musical coactions. A perfect mood to introduce the eager optimism of ‘Pluck', a near eight minute piece where about:river reaffirms their ability to tip a dance floor over the edge through pulsating grooves, cascading aquatics and playful acid lines. Moving forward, ‘Disappeared' maintains a confident club energy, carrying that momentum from its predecessor and plunging you into a wormhole of rebounding rhythms, kaleidoscopic melodies and frayed textural bliss. The duo's relentless curiosity for rhythmic experimentation basks in retro-radiance on ‘Underworld', as broken beats, nasally lines and timely piano stabs emerge from a delirious blur of harmonic fragments.

It’s been two decades since Bradford-born sound designer & Configurations of Self label head,
Alexander Church, first found resonance with his latest collaborator & early supporter from Belfast.
Joining him for Configurations 18 is seasoned producer Chris Cargo as well as label mainstay, juSt b, and
frequent guest remixer, Vincenzo.

With a production career commencing in the late 90s, Cargo has nearly 200 releases on labels such as
The Soundgarden, JOOF, & Mango Alley, and most recently on his own imprint, If You Wait, with his 2nd
full length album ‘Resistance’.

Kicking off the new 4-tracker is a sultry yet dusky breaks cut from Church & Cargo titled ‘Avoidant’,
themed around the enduring pattern of escapism from difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations. Its
glistening, brooding pad fused with warm dubby bass and a poignant stabbing broken rhythm guides
you mysteriously into an extended introspective break. Enveloped by somber atmospherics and a soft
acid-tinged cosmic synth line, its a shadowy narrative one can easily find themselves lost in.

Next up we see recent Bedrock & Balance artist, juSt b, offering up a seductive vocal on ‘Impulsivity’, a
raw percussive groover which gets straight to the point - creating a perfect synergy with the underlying
psychological theme of swift, unbridled behaviour patterns. The flirtatious vox is complimented by an
equally playful chord progression, catchy knocking drums, and trademark warping synth, laying the
ground for what is one of Church’s more vibrant & sexy of dance-driven productions.

Just as he did with Configurations 16’s ‘Games People Play’, Berlin-based Vincenzo takes Church’s
composition & juSt b’s sensual vocal chops and reworks ‘Impulsivity’ into a blissful daytime festival
sparkler, richly laden with his classic soulful piano, adding a layer of tremendous depth to another superb
remix.

The final track, ‘Forbidden Substance’, is the second from Cargo & Church, delighting the deep melodic
house lovers with a delicately carnal, spaced-out and slightly more visceral vibe. Subtle vox & warm
organic percussion are bathed in lush synth sweeps, making it a perfect dreamy sun-riser or sun-setter.
Configurations 18 brings together all the elements of a deliciously well-rounded EP, generous in
dimension with high appeal for even the most discerning of ears and dance floors.

Welcome to MOUSE THE FOX 😻❤🐭🦊

This project is aimed to promote the fantastic work done by many non profit organisations and animal sanctuaries throughout the world.

Volume 59 highlights a star !
Reef the Fox and his sanctuary Pawsitive Beginnings Inc. were both awarded this Saturday by their local community in the Florida Keys.
Reef was born in March 2021 in a fur farm but he was rejected by his mum and simblings. He was rescued at just a few days old and bottle raised by Saveafox Corp. team before he was old enough to reach his forever home in Florida.
Since then, Reef became an author in the local newspaper and recently appeared in a documentary about fur farms. And his community really loves him.

Pawsitive Beginnings is the forever home of seven fur farm survivor foxes. They need support.

MOUSE THE FOX - REEF THE FOX V.I.P MIX - VOL.59 - 06.11.2022

Such a complex and powerful EP comes to us from one of Argentina's most promising music producers, Maximo Lasso! His talent is largely based on the melodies he creates and the variety of grooves that accompany his music. His music is just as much his story.
The EP that Maximo wrote for us is called "Perspective" and it is accompanied by remixers that the whole world is talking about, Not Demure and Sebastian Sellares! The two complete this release with masterful reinterpretations of the original "Lemon Tree" and are a real treat for fans of good grooves, quality melodies and strong progressive and organic house sounds!
