ABOUT THE RELEASE

A month and a half after "Blissed", here is the second single from the upcoming Spaces Between album "Maudlin".

Perfect for endless introspective sessions and infinite soul searching.

ABOUT THE RELEASE

It has been seven years since the release of "Immortal Habits", the album that got Canadian electronic artist Liza Nicklin critical acclaim and a Fenty Beauty sync placement. She has finally decided to share her new material with the world. The album "Revel: Generative" will be released in September and "Generosity of Genius" is the first of two singles to announce it. It has Nicklin's trademark brand of deep house mixed with dub techno, intelligently spiced with uplifting memorable grooves.

Spaces Between - Maudlin (FLTRLBL194)
Release date: July 16th, 2021
Genres: Electronic, Downtempo, Ambient
For fans of: Boards of Canada, Brian Eno, Autechre, The Orb

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Spaces Between's unique blend of indie influenced electronica has made him a firm favourite of Chillout radio programmers and Downtempo playlist curators and got him a support slot on The Orb's tour. Millions of streams and radio plays after the first single, he is returning with his fifth album which has all the trademark elements - the slow burning character of songs, the long buildups and the amazing ability to draw the listener closer and closer with each song as the album progresses. Probably his strongest work to date, "Maudlin" meticulously connects the dots between shoegaze, ambient and idm, drawing the blueprint for modern electronica in the post-everything era.

Classified Sky - Extraction (FLTRLBL196)
Release date: August 13th, 2021
Genres: Electronic, Trip-Hop, Breakbeat, Ambient
For fans of: Massive Attack, Sasha, BT, Tycho, Com Truise

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Mark Allsworth has been enjoying Breakbeat A-lister status with his Duane Barry project until he decided to start exploring deeper sonic universes under his own name and with his new Classified Sky project. Extraction is a chilled, meditative Trip-Hop gem, which could sit perfectly well in a Massive Attack or The Orb setlist. It is complemented by a driving Progressive Breaks remix, reminiscent of Mark's breakbeat days and a stripped down Ambient mix, ideal for 3am sofa surfing sessions.

Liza Nicklin - Revel: Generative (FLTRLBL198)
Release date: September 10th, 2021
Genres: Electronic, Deep House, Dub Techno, Downtempo
For fans of: Steve Bug, Dubspeeka, Robert Babicz, Pig&Dan

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Released seven years ago, the album "Immortal Habits" was praised by electronic music critics, loved by fans and adored by music supervisors. After cementing her position on the Dub Techno and Electronica circuit and placing a song in a Fenty Beauty ad, Liza Nicklin disappeared from the scene. The long wait was worth it, as she releases another long playing gem, taking a fresh perspective of her unique collage of downtempo electronic, techno and dub. Continuing on her never-ending quest for new sonic experiences, Liza Nicklin delivers an even broader scope of retro futuristic wonders, which will keep us intrigued at least until her next long-player.

Release date: October 22nd, 2021
Genres: Synth-Pop, New Wave, Synthwave
For fans of: The Human League, Yazoo, Heaven 17, Beograd

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Originally released 37 years ago, this album is the only remaining document of the short but extremely sweet collaboration between singer-actress Ana Kostovska, composer and musician Kiril Džajkovski, bassist Ljubomir Stojsavljević and film director Milčo Mančevski. With synthwave returning as the hottest music trend of 2021, Bastion, one of the first electronic bands in Eastern Europe is suddenly back in fashion. Various international media outlets, including The Guardian, caught the Bastion bug and wrote about this unique band and their self-titled masterpiece, calling it "a quick-footed jewel of eclectic, expert synth-wave... genre-curious, but grounded in this bright, glamorous pop sensibility". We couldn't be more proud to release it in all its remastered glory and make it available on the digital music services for the first time ever.

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Global Chill radio favourite and Downtempo playlist regular Jon Ososki is announcing his brand new album "Our Failure of Imagination" with the lush, meditative single "Taking Time to Think".

Chista Okolina feat. Kacar & Vena - Vrie Makedonec (FLTRLBL201)
Release date: November 26th, 2021
Genres: Hip-Hop, Conscious Rap, Alternative Hip-Hop
For fans of: Cypress Hill, The Beastie Boys, Prophets of Rage

ABOUT THE RELEASE

After waking-up from a 25-year long hibernation and releasing the comeback album Avant-Garde Fatiguèe earlier this year, there is no stopping the legendary Chista Okolina crew. They will release another album in the first half of 2022 and "Vrie Makedonec" is the first single of it. Politically charged and built over a backdrop of samples from Macedonian jazz and rock classics, it rebels against some of the most pressing issues which are perpetually ruining the lives of young people in Eastern Europe. Conscious rap at its best!

Lately I've been staring at the sun and the moon
And I feel so alive
I am the capital in "Life" and in "Love"
And I feel so high

Like
Hey man, whatcha gonna do with all the money in your pocket and your shiny shoes
Hey man, you need to wake up soon
But he was like - Nah, I wanna sleep

Lately I've been searching for a new kind of light
One that could shine on me
Light up my melody

Maybe I was looking at the wrong side of town
But I couldn't find the place
Caught in a paper chase

Hey man, whatcha gonna do with all those funny looking papers and your shiny muse
Hey man, you dropped a silver spoon
And he was like - Noooooo.... Not again!

Stranger Days - Came Alive (FLTRLBL146)
Release date: July 14th, 2017
Genres: Downtempo, Electronica, Chillout
For fans of: S U R V I V E, oOoOO, Mark Pritchard


ABOUT THE RELEASE

After shaking the advertising world with the material released under his Pebble’s alias, Swedish super-producer Magnus Stenbacken has teamed with singer Victor Bryngnas and returns with a completely different project called Stranger Days. Energetic rock has been changed with electronica and the band members appear on the cover as retro, Frank Miller style, comic book superheroes. The first single Came Alive is a successful exercise in 80s influenced synth-wave, updated to match the current production standards of S U R V I V E, Mark Pritchard and the likes. The cryptic lyrics only add to the impression that this song could be the intro to an ambitious full-length album project, crossing the borders between music, graphic art and animation.

Came Alive

Stranger Days - Came Alive - taken from Came Alive (FLTRLBL146)

With a nostalgic ballroom vibe, the beautiful ensemble swings through the stereospace like an early-autumn breeze. The falsetto singing and the downbeat instrumental is a perfect fit for any romantics out there, especially those who are already fans of Belle & Sebastian, John Lennon or Ray Davies.

Recording artist, producer, songwriter and composer are just a few of the titles one could pin on Lundvall, with an innovative and ambitious indie soundscape he paints vivid pictures that transports the listener right into his own abstract world. Music is at the center of his creations, working with images and lyrics as instruments in his ensemble.

Signs of Life will be out in stores October 13th
