Diform - Still Being [Mindspring Music]

Mindspring Music Present: Deeper Chill - Compiled by Twin Shape [MSC001]

Mastering By: Stephen Moon
Artwork By: Jono Hislop
Typography By: Stephen Moon
Compiled By: Twin Shape

Deeper Chill is a Psychedelic, Wintery, V/A Compilation selected by Producer & Mindspring label partner, Twin Shape, and featuring the artwork of Jono Hislop. Ambientium sets the mood for the journey in the opening track "Transformation", a chilly Ambient tune that builds into a Psybient atmosphere - with elements of Glitch and Dub. From there Moon Frog matches the Psy-tinged Ambient opening of the comp with "Medicine Will", morphing into an evocative and emotional Dub song. Martins Garden takes over next with the Psydub driven "Qi", it's energy propelling us inward - yet outward and beyond. Wonder Nexus continues the excursion by bringing the listener deeper into a frigid Dub and Glitch landscape with his track, "Grotto", which twists and turns its melody throughout. "Destiny" from Dimmat carries on with a crisp and light touch, a Downtempo foray that quickens the pace halfway through as an atmospheric - 4/4 - Psy tune. Leading us along, compiler Twin Shape continues the common time beat set by Dimmat in his warmth-seeking track "Four Corners". Twin's contribution features deep Reese-style bass, glitchy hits, breathy atmospherics, and spacey leads - meditative and contemplative. The listener will now find they are a passenger in Gyrro's capable care, in "From Metariel", with another straight beat marching ever forward. This Psychill offering reaches far into the cosmos with an energizing, upbeat, feel that prepares one for launch into "Hyperspace Dreams" by Metamorphosis - the final destination in this Compilation. Slow and steady, this Psychedelic Chill tune builds into the highest point of energy yet; inspiring and reflective, the leads soar as it gives a sense of embarking into the exciting unknown.

Mindspring Music Present: State Azure - Hex EP [MSM011]

State Azure makes his debut Mindspring appearance with a melodic & progressive release, with wonderfully glitchy elements and deep ambiance. Hex swirls with pads and twinkling keys, while its subterranean bass pulls you in, a very hypnotic and eveloving tune. Twin Shape is first up on remix duties, slowing things down and putting a Psychill spin on the original. Magnus is up next, raising the energy levels with his signature Psytrance style - never losing the gorgeous feel that Hex exudes. Transmission is on the B-Side and keeps the EP flowing in the same sort of channel. Much more on the glitchy side with its percussion and sweet little psychedelic stabs, it features the same sort of breathtaking swells and bright plucks. The atmosphere morphs and shimmers beautifully, while the low-end rolls ever forward. Condensspur has chosen to focus on the ambient elements of Transmission and created an elongated intro with wonderful additions, such as guitar, in his remix - A great bookend to this well crafted EP.

The enigmatic Twin Shape is called upon, once again, to curate a new Various Artist Compilation for Mindspring. Typically known for his Psychill and Chillgressive style, this release is centered around Psydub & Glitch - departure from last years "Deeper Chill" comp. "Reclamation" starts off with Spiral Minded's 432Hz, healing, intro. The listener is encouraged to slough-off the layers that can build up, living in this busy, and often distracting, world. It is a light-hearted, peaceful, and relaxing segue into the first leg of the journey. "Harmonic Libations" gently eases us in with a similar tone, soul-shining and free. Well-crafted, deep-dub, bass & beats get mind & body moving. Glitchy passages meld with 4/4 Downtempo Psy and swirl back to end on a dubby note. Spiral Minded has another offering, this time a full-length track, with "Cloudstructure". The large spaces created lightly float the mind upwards, but the deep bass pulls the feet back down to solid dub-ground. Mellow synths meet Psychedelic Glitch, like an old friend. 

Icaro switches course, taking us to a subterranean level. Reminding us of the wonderment of art and imagination, the twisted vocals resonate within. Razor sharp glitches and squishy Psy sounds balance the ethnic instrumentation. Continuing down the same path set by Icaro, Frequency Sequence would have us crawling through densely packed percussive rhythms, surrounded by fractured melodies. A hauntingly frantic example of why Glitch and Psy work so well with Dub elements. Things slow back down as we trip along in "Tlaloque", created by Art Of Fact. Ghostly and Angelic vocals pitch in a beautifully unnatural way. Crunchy, broken percussion, and dub chords, are accented by bubbly squelches - heady and refined. "Ava" is a perfect neighbor to encounter next - full of longing and hope, melodies race across the soul. Emotive violins carry us through a windswept desert of dreams. Filtered leads, Psydub Glitches, and sharp effects come together in harmony. Twin Shape's own entry is the final message in this wonderful dialogue. It starts light and airy, but dubby and throbbing bass adds much welcomed weight. It evolves, and at time dissolves, into powerful passages and hidden surprises. We come back to where we started, but fresh and rejuvenated - back to center.

Release Biography:
Mindspring Music Presents: Alterra Project - Turing Test [MSM021]

From the innovative world of London’s underground electronica scene comes a captivating trio of auditory wizards; a group of psychedelic composers calling themselves the “Alterra Project”. As their very first release, Turing Test brings fresh and gooey vibes to our ears in the form of floor-stomping psydub and rhythmic glitch. This diverse series of creamy bass, head-bobbing melodies, and creative instrumentation come together to form a delightfully smooth EP. Filled to the brim with interesting sounds and intelligent design, the wonderful collaboration is nothing short from impressive. It’s hard to tell if it was made by man or machine. Perhaps it was made with both.

Mindspring Music Presents: Cortex Jammers - High Asia [MSM066]

High Asia was born in the mountain kingdoms of Kinnaur and Spiti Valleys, a.k.a. Little Tibet at the Northern Himalayas bordering with China, besides ancient temples and crumbling sacred paintings from the sixth to ninth century, which are prohibited to photography. There are some really magick atmospheres on these high plateaus, full of signs, winds and spirits.

Cortex Jammers is the brainchild of Ukrainian electronic artist Molfarsky, who has previously released on Ovnimoon Records, Visionary Shamanics Records, and Subbass Netlabel. Molfarsky`s very own special magnetic spy-dub style and Buddhist trip-hop landscapes (based on stories of strange local phenomena like mysterious distant music heard by locals in the snowy mountains by night, dream manifestations of Dakinis and Nagas, strange connections between Ahnenerbe, high priests and Lamas, the CIA, and Tibetan drug cartels) are joined by the multi-layered futuristic logic and skills of producer and sound engineer Pavlo Storonsky (known for his project Tineidae on Tympanik Audio) to form the Cortex Jammers project. You can expect eerie trip hop, transcendental bass music, psychedelic DNB and even experimental techno ley-lines. Let the beauty unfold.

Mindspring Music Presents: DeathMomenT - Soul Speaker [MSM067] 

Soul Speaker is the result of meditation on the realization that each soul in the universe represents a separate part of a single whole. Each moment spent loving each other strengthens the bond between souls, allowing comfort and wisdom to flow freely. This collection of music is designed to help facilitate such an experience of understanding. Grab a close friend, let go of all sense of presence and matter. Allow the vibrations to export your soul to a field of love and light. 

Conceptualized in a divine dream-state, DeathMomenT fuses neural, squelchy, and cerebral sound design. Combined with celestial and time transcending soundscapes, they trigger and tickle the imagination deep inside the long rested reaches of the mind and soul.

Bon Voyage

My mind begins to wander
My footsteps soon will follow
I have a dream I must conquer
Before this hole leaves me hollow

Anchored in the abyss
My frequencies so recent
There’s nothing here to miss
The tides being my greatest achievement

Fantasies of past odysseys
They cannot hold weight
When traveling new seas
Hastily fleeting before its...  more
