through distance dance
ghosts who still know how to sing”

AI-28 arrives as a double-12” reissue of an album titled “Lucid Dreams”. Formerly released in 1996 as a CD on the now defunct UK imprint em:t, the album now becomes available for the first time on vinyl. Produced collaboratively by Chris Allen, David Thompson (both co-founders of em:t), plus label affiliates Tom Smyth and Will Joss, the record features outlier academic and philosopher Celia Green narrating passages of her classic book “Lucid Dreams” (published in 1968), seamlessly embellished with atmospheric soundscapes throughout.

Brooding amorphously on the cusp of the unknown, the music captures the quintessentially mysterious quality of dreams and dreaming. Layer by layer, the listener is submerged deep into the subconscious stream. The record curls and unwinds with bewildering influence whilst exploring key themes of Green’s studies, with topics covering hallucinatory states, apparitions, out of body experiences, and extrasensory perception. The collaborative handling of samples and sound material comes together powerfully to create a piece that is both artistically theatrical in flavour and sumptuously immersive – a true documentary for the ears and imagination.

“For your pleasure: newest and latest favorites from my rotations, some blasts from the past plus some great stuff you may have not heard of. Melodic classic ambient gems, haunting melodies, nostalgic tones, deep relaxing colors with moving pastels and some tasty guitar sprinkled in of which I’ll share with you. These have influenced me and inspired my love of this beautiful art form.” 
Hipnotic Earth has been releasing ambient albums since 2015 and has some upcoming new albums on Whitelabrecs, Past Inside the Present, Dronarivm and a track on Shimmering Moods. In February, Rare Quiet Day was released on Healing Sound Propagandist, and in May two remixes on Liquid Bloom’s ‘ReGen: Deep Ambient Remixes.’

Deep Breakfast 068 - Hipnotic Earth

Artist: Pulshar, Biodub, Heavenchord, Julian Perez
Title: Espectrum 2, EP2
Label: Avantroots
Cat No: AR052.2
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 
A1. Pulshar - Accept Fate
A2. Biodub – Unterfluss
B1. Heavenchord – Spacechord
B2. Julian Perez - Wolframio

This is the second 12” EP that closes The Avantroots Dub Techno Compilation ESPECTRUM II

The first track from Pulshar since 2018, “Accept Fate”, is a dreamy ambient dub track with a heavy reggae dub influence that could work as the background sound for an eerie island.

Biodub’s “Unterfluss” is an ambient dub track that evolves progressively and drags you into a restless and magnetic atmosphere.

The dusty, uneasy and strangely sexy “Spacechord” from Heavenchord is an hypnotic ambient dub track inherited from dense atmospheres.

And to close this excellent compilation, none other than Julian Perez delivering an impeccable and elegant dub techno track to fill the dance floor with class.

https://soundcloud.com/ludvigcimbrelius is an artist of many expressions. Whilst all are deeply rooted in a spiritual and ethereal sound, his most majestic output has arguably come to life through the https://soundcloud.com/illuvia alias. After capping off a debut, self-titled album in 2017 with an atmospheric Drum and Bass track, it quickly sparked a two-year conversation between Ludvig and A Strangely Isolated Place to pursue a full record in this style. 

Focusing on the far reaches of both the Ambient and Drum and Bass spectrums, Iridescence Of Clouds, combines the two extremities. Soaring, euphoric Ambient textures overlay distant echoes of driving Drum and Bass, before subtly transitioning to drums at the forefront, once again.

Typically atmospheric Drum and Bass song structures become blurred, as half-step kick patterns sit amongst more recognizable Amen breaks; or reverb-heavy drums; often echoing the worlds of Ludvig’s other aliases - his fingerprint instantly recognizable. The expected breakdowns are often ephemeral; teased slowly into existence and then faded into the background as each track weaves in and out of the two musical spectrums and the progressive emotion of the album unfolds at a glorious, soaring pace.
