Two heady extended grooves from members of the Portuguese collective Aspen Music. Fausto conjures a close, smoky dub techno mood on 'Rabbit Hole', puncturing swampy chord progressions with crisp percussion and vocal samples that add to the intrigue. On the flip, Pedro Duarte's expansive 'That's True' glides along for a truly cosmic ride that is just made for outdoor dancing as the sun comes up. Carpet's LAB series showcases upcoming Portuguese artists on limited edition vinyl, as part of a fair and sustainable production model.

[CARPET/LAB02] Fausto / Pedro Duarte - "Rabbit Hole / That's True" EP [OUT NOW!]

Lewis (also known as bh and Casual Smoker) after appearances on Exarde, Smoud Traxx and Yes I Am Recordings is starting his own imprint, called Data Flow. And we’re showing you the last track from the first EP on it.

As I've been told, the idea about the new label came to him during the lockdown and the name of the first EP (which is “Micro Wave EP”) came after his favorite Waldorf Micro Wave XT synth. I did not ask about the idea behind the name of B2 on this EP, but it goes under the name “Celestial Freq”. Let’s move closer to it…[cotinue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/premiere/premiere-b2-lewis-celestial-freq-df001/]

Fama - (NOMON Remix)

4Plae kick off the first instalment of their Noir series with “Delta Insignia”, a nod to the final frontier and beyond. With two tracks from label founder ADMNTi accompanied by sublime remixes from Bushwacka! and Sam Bangura, this initial release sets the tone for what is to come for 4Plae Noir.

The title track opens the release with luscious pads accompanied with breaky drum patterns. The mood is continued with ‘Vry1’, with and added tinge of electro, which the illustrious Bushwacka! takes to the next level with his remix of the track on the flip side. Close friend of the label and Northsouth co-founder Sam Bangura makes his debut remix appearance to close the EP with an ethereal and deep remix of “Delta Insignia”.

A1. Why Does The Lion Get Lost In The Jungle?!

Having recently delved into the realms of digital, the highly regarded Elephant Moon label returns back to wax. With John Dimas at the helm, it is no surprise these records have become somewhat sought after. This catalogue of colours has become a firm fixture in the discerning record collectors library. The latest in the spectrum comes from Herbert Vincent, stepping up to release his first vinyl only.

Although little is known of the artist, Vincent’s introduction to the scene comes in the form of a well-primed package. His Genuine EP is packed with five originals, a showcase well worthy of a debut.

PRY002 | Delazar - "Dardo por ahí Será una Gema" EP

#107 - Heimyl

Co-founder of @lisiere-collectif & @kosmogonik, Bogdan Ardeleanu marks his debut on Swiftness under his solo moniker @ardb with a 3-tracker so timeless we guarantee it will age like a bottle of posh wine (we don't refund if not tho').
The "Unusual suspect" EP is an exhibit of crafty club-oriented productions that emerged from ardb's versatile music persona. 
The smooth nostalgic harmonies of the pads on "Every other day" hit as an instant classic. The name together with the repetitive sequence of the main lead both suggest the groundhog day-like phenomena we can all relate to in these pandemic times where every day feels exactly the same.
Punchy acoustic toms and jazzy ride patterns are the EP's recurrent themes and are blended very smoothly with breakbeats and robotic arps on "Reverdie". 
The bassline on "Unusual suspect" is a serious tension builder that is being deconstructed into an unexpected explosive free jazz drum solo on the main breakdown making it a real weapon that you will want to carry in your bag.

A1 - Every Other Day
B1 - Reverdie
B2 - Unusual Suspect
