I'm buzzed to share my latest release, "Core" — warpy sounds inspired by one of my favourite games of all time, Starcraft 2. Dive into the sounds of the Protoss race with me, and feel like you're space traveling ☄️

Core

entaSkai undertook a period of research into the underlying structure and organisation of the human brain before writing ‘The Architecture Of The Mind’. The Berlin-based artist then took what had been learned and kept it in mind when writing the music that marks Mask's first album release. It comes with extensive background notes on each track, and an operational manual of sorts - notes from the artists as to the effects each piece will have on those who hear them.

"The message conveyed by this album is that life itself is filled with music, but our egos often prevent us from being in harmony with this symphony. Inner chaos and silence can be challenging to bear, leading us to seek solace in external noise. We have constructed a barrier between our inner and outer worlds, causing us to lose touch with the rhythm of harmony. However, by embracing the illusion of separation and dancing to good music, we can rediscover harmony with ourselves and our environment. To fully experience the essence of the album, it should be played loudly on a proper sound system or high-quality headphones. By immersing themselves in the music, individuals can engage with its transformative power and potentially find a deeper connection with their own minds and surroundings." - ZentaSkai

The gorgeous 'Mind Mapping' opens up with deep and dubby drums and lush harmonies that soothe you to your core, '030' then has more raw, heavy drums with many layers of glowing synths, glassy melodies and organic found sounds. 'Fügung' keeps the deep and introspective moods coming before the crisp tech of 'Flow Dreaming' ups the ante with more drive and layers of vocal whispers, hi-hats and smeared dub chords. Elsewhere the likes of 'Quiet Reflection' lean into the groove with swirling pads and one-word vocal sounds drifting through the air over propulsive drum loops, and 'Boiling Range' suspends you in deft synth loops amongst the stars over a prickly house beat.

The superb synth craft and well-designed grooves continue through the dusty deep house of 'Karl-Marx-Allee' and minimal dub of 'Dynamic System' before the elegant melodic techno of 'Apeiron' and dreamy synthscapes of 'Parallel 30' close the album in a reflective fashion.

This is a deeply evocative album with a fully realised concept that is as thought-provoking as it is immersive.

In this latest release, Rick delves into the depths of his soul to create a truly soulful sound. The EP opens with "Lonely Expedition," a track that begins with gentle yet poignant keys and expansive sounds, creating a sense of calm while building anticipation. As the track progresses, the smooth kick drums kick in, paving the way for the rest of the expedition with a familiar, heartwarming groove.

The following track, "My Soul," is a deeply evocative piece that features haunting vocals and captivating samples from classic films, all interwoven with a pulsating kick drum that underscores the profound journey of the soul. The EP comes to a close with "The Emperor," a steady ascent out of the soul with its ethereal beats, melancholic chords, and mellow baseline. The addition of a heartwarming sample from Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" adds a revitalizing touch to this beautiful and moving track.

Overall, Rick has delivered an exceptional EP that showcases his unique talents and creativity. The sounds of his soul are sure to captivate and delight listeners, leaving them feeling energized and inspired

Michigan-born Rick Wade might not get the headlines of his more celebrated Detroit peers, but few have done as much to contribute to the house canon as he. For nearly three decades, Wade has consistently turned out deeply channeled grooves, utilizing every second of their often-elongated lengths. Peppered lightly with strings, an odd breathy voice or some other delicate hook culled from the funk and soul sounds of his youth, Wade's style is the perfect embodiment of minimalist production delivering maximum impact.
