In a now annual tradition, Tartelet leans into the introspective mood of the winter months with its third compilation of downtempo and ambient titles. The artists involved on this 24-track collection include recent frontliners as well as long-standing extended family and breakthrough talents.

Medusozoa Vol III offers a perfect opportunity to dig into the dimensions of the label not defined by a dancefloor beat. Here, low-slung hip-hop and RnB can sit alongside beatless reveries, head-nodding dub meditations, and nimble, meandering jazz funk alike. If there was ever a question whether the label promotes a broad church of music, here it is in abundance.

The trip begins with long-time Tartelet alumni Max Graef, who makes two appearances on Medusozoa Vol III in his now signature woozy style interspersed with artful sampling. Doc Sleep follows up on her debut solo with a gorgeous foray into submerged, dubby shimmers, and Oakland-based psych-soul star ABUNAI links back up with kissingpractice for another dose of heart-on-sleeve song craft.

Copenhagen-based artist Lord of the Magi takes us on a mesmerising ride of ‘60s psychedelia, perfectly extending his sound nurtured on the Soul Exchange record. And Later Version, a collaboration from Oakland duo DJML and Jerod S. Rivera, sink into an analogue bubble bath of electronic and acoustic sonics. Athlete Whippet’s accomplished, soul-informed sound slips in perfectly, adding a warm, laid back funk to the mix.

While label mainstay Nelson of the East drops a surprise hit sure to get a mass of bodies moving, Space Ghost returns for another blissfully beatless excursion that’s all killer, no filler. Tartelet wizard Glenn Astro also continues to shape out his distinctive path through modern beat constructions and edgy synth snaps.

Fresh label debuts include Mr. Beatnick, who lays down a sumptuous slice of cosmic downtempo boogie, while London-based producer DrumTalk brings his signature deft drum programming mood. Ciel also makes a first appearance on the label with her signature backroom dreamscapes and shimmering, tripped-out style.

With its rich tapestry of mellow sounds to melt into, Medusozoa Vol III offers both a soothing backdrop and something mentally nourishing to fix your mind’s ear on.

Doc Sleep returns to Dark Entries with Cloud Sight Fade, an album of ethereal house and techno. Doc Sleep is the alias of DJ and producer Melissa Maristuen. Following 2023’s Birds, her ambient and IDM-leaning debut album, Cloud Sight Fade shows Doc drawing on her years of queer clubbing to bring us seven diverse tracks sitting between muscular New York house, Berlin twilight techno, and funky West-coast breakbeats. Production began in the Bay Area and was completed in Berlin; Maristuen says that this work became a love letter to the West Coast’s magnificent natural landscape, the light of the Pacific sunrise. While draped in dreamlike textures and melodies, this is also a record about embodiment and the memories that live within our corporeal forms. The powerful grooves on the breakbeat-inflected “Lemon Zest” and the propulsive “Cloud Sight Fade” remind us that dance music is for bodies dancing. Meanwhile, tracks like the sparkling album-closer “Enchanted Static” or the brooding groover “Water Sign” plunge us deeper into hypnotic depths. On Cloud Sight Fade, Doc Sleep guides us through slumber and wakefulness, in and out of our bodies, with the mastery of a seasoned DJ and clubgoer.

DETOUR, Pittsburgh mainstays behind the Hot Mass night of the same name, celebrate 10 years as a label with a double LP of the locally sourced, grassroots techno that’s been their raison d’etre since 2014. DTR-007 is a coming together of DETOUR members, long-time associates, rising local artists and members of the ever-expanding global Pittsburgh diaspora.

The result is a true reflection of the DETOUR ethos; a selection of ten expertly-curated tracks that is more than the sum of its parts; an homage to the city, its producers, DJs, dancers and the outsized influence they’ve had on the global techno underground.

DTR-007 ‘s ode to Pittsburgh electronics spans generations and genres. Booming maximalism from local originator Shawn Rudiman sits beside ace outings from already-accomplished next-gen producers Gladstone Deluxe, Davis Galvin, and Torvvo. After a spree of recent releases on Dark Entries and her own Jacktone imprint, Doc Sleep returns to the label for the first time since her 2016 debut EP with a slice of resonant deep house. Hot Mass co-founder Paul Fleetwood and perennial multidisciplinary favs, slowdanger appear on wax for the first time with levitating cuts of late-night hypnosis. Longtime modular enthusiast Nick Breinich commits a slab of true-school Midwest acid techno while DETOUR co-founders Naeem and Gusto each contribute tracks in signature styles. Naeem’s soaring electro melodics bring the compilation to an emotional peak before Gusto sends it off with an underwater broken beat chiller. The end product is an exhibition of steaming, sometimes-storming, always-deep heat calibrated precisely for your dance floor’s moodier moments.

*PREMIERE* Doc Sleep - Deep Breath

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FRIDAY FEB 7 2025 (Bandcamp Friday / Wildfire Relief)

LA is the ESP Institute’s hometown. The label’s captain, Lovefingers, is a native Angeleno who has lived in 15 of its neighborhoods spanning decades. While the ESP Institute was born in 00’s New York City with an international cast of artists, the DNA of the label has always been infused with the wild sense of freedom and space that is LA. It breaks our hearts to see the city and its residents in such a difficult position today. Our home and label’s office were damaged, the grounds incinerated and fire/smoke damage right up and onto it’s walls, and although it is still uninhabitable, we consider ourselves unbelievably fortunate that the structure was spared, surviving among our many neighbors whose homes are reduced to ash. Both the Palisades and Eaton fires have left so many of our friends and family with nothing – we collectively mourn not only for their physical space, much of which is generational, but for mementos of family history, their sense of security and ability to function from a safe sense of “home.” The grief and tasks of recovery are uncharted and ongoing, the rebuilding is daunting, arduous and overwhelming, and everyday brings new challenges in the fires wake. This will take time. If there is any light that we see in this, it is the prevalent sense of community we are witnessing in real time.

This is the 15th year of ESP Institute and we had an idea for a compilation planned, but, given the circumstances and the immense needs of our city and fellow Angelenos, we have decided to expand this release to 3x its initial scope and commit all of its efforts and income to wildfire relief organizations. We have initially selected the following vetted non-profit charities: CalFund, MusiCares, GiveDirectly, Global Empowerment Mission, Canine Rescue Club and plan to manually top up funds from circulating GoFundMe spreadsheets for under-represented families, commencing with those in Altadena. We anticipate a bi-weekly dispersal of funds, given the urgent and evolving nature of community needs, but will re-assess this consistently as time passes.

ESP’s artists have generously allowed us to present their music for this compilation and our gratitude starts with them. It is our hope the following 90 tracks will bring you something you need, whether it be joy, catharsis, wonder or meditation.

Thank you for your support from the bottom our hearts,
Andrew / Lovefingers & ESP Institute

"The Cardiac Rhythm" - The Thin Line (Official Album Release)

What does the line between life and death sound like? Welcome to "The Cardiac Rhythm," an instrumental concept album that places you directly on the sonic frontline of emergency medical services.

"The Cardiac Rhythm" is a groundbreaking work of Biometric Electronic music, where the rhythm itself is born from the vital signs of life. The kick drum is a synthesized human heartbeat, the atmosphere is woven from the hiss of an oxygen mask, and the tension is built from the charge of a defibrillator. Each of the 10 tracks uses a synthesized EKG as its core, creating a cinematic soundscape that is both intensely human and clinically precise.

Embark on a 10-track journey that tells the story of a single shift. The album's narrative arc moves from the calm, steady beat of "First Watch" to the urgent, high-BPM drive of "Code Three" and the dramatic, arrhythmic climax of "Asystole," before finally finding reflection and resolution in "End of Watch." It is a complete story told not with words, but with the very pulse of life itself.

From composer and active 911 Telecommunicator Chris Manning, "The Cardiac Rhythm" is a tribute forged from direct personal experience. This album is dedicated to the paramedics, EMTs, and all EMS professionals of the Thin White Line; the calm in the chaos, the steady hands, and the unwavering voices on the other end of the line.
