The A side begins with label head Cosmic JD exhibiting a high-energy, acid-infused number, entrancing and mysterious modulations ideal for the witching hours. The A2 cut welcomes long-time Hypnotic collaborator, Montreal ’s own Adam Solomon aka Weekend Logic with a retro-futuristic acid breakbeat with round basslines and enhancing science-fiction melodies. On the flip-side, Hypnotic member DJ Zenta from Tokyo debuts on the label with an unique approach to timeless progressive and tech-house vibes. The final cut on the B-side presents Japanese via Toronto Masayuki Tomita contributing with an after-hours track that exposes his signature of funky and wonky analog electronics.

This summer will see the launch of Anthea’s latest brainchild, PILLZ, the diverse label will sit comfortably as a sub label of the prolific Partisan outfit, with the A&R being carefully curated by herself, and long time friend Velasco hailing from NYC now Berlin based. The label is aiming to be a safe haven for straight edge, and innovative sounds from a selection of rising talent, and simultaneously friends and artists they have met along the way on their journey together. 
Inaugurating the release is the talented Francesco Carvetta, his debut outing is an impressive showcase of his gritty, and discerning sound, but always maintains a danceable approach. Four chunky and distinctive cuts spread across the vinyl EP. 	
 
Diving in at the deepest of ends is the sub heavy “”Part Of The Call” a chugging bass line remains at the forefront of the tracks as spaced out synths simmer around the heart of the track. Next up Carvetta takes us on a journey of “Midnight Travel”, otherworldly voices converse with the emphatic structure of the track, steering you safely into the small hours of the night. A stripped back trip of dusty nostalgia with the B1, “Minds Power”, blurring the lines between trance and techno infused with a touch of modern day class, nodding towards the after party moments. Last but not least is “Petra”, crammed with raw tenacity, layered with dark and serious tones breathing life into the enormous bass arrangement. 

Deep and mysterious energy kicks off what is set to become an integral label in the coming years, sitting comfortably as the sub-label of the prolific Partisan imprint. PILLZ is officially born!

‘Sun Aura (Orbiting Mix)’ is defined by the bassy and acid deepness of chords with a perfect layout of breakdowns. Next up is ‘Time Faster (1 Quarter Mix)’ which builds throughout leading with finely chopped vocal phrases and a punchy kick. Flipping to the side B with two equally groovy masterpieces in the form of ‘Level Of the Devil (Prophecy Mix)’ and the ‘Believe Dat (Loosing Time Mix)’.

Coming in hot for its second outing is Anthea & Velasco’s PILLZ imprint, this time they turn to Oshana to take care of business. Chunky dance floor action with an attitude from the Berlin based artist as she showcases her characteristic sound once more. The four track “Letting Go'' EP explores extensive territory, meandering between distinctive shades of electro, breakbeat, techno and acid energy from an outer place. 

First up is “Vindicator”, a tightly arranged trip, bubbling from the word go, leading you down a path of tension before opening up into a mysterious frenzy, eccentric synths wandering around the powerful forward motion of the track. Further spaced out transmissions that pack a punch in title track “Letting Go”, despite the raw tenacity of the track you can easily become lost in the depth of the production.  

Tasteful retro drums pave the way on the flip side in “Jah Rules”, conversing blissfully with the squelchy bass tones that flash in and out. Closing off the “Letting Go” EP is “E Motions”, a fierce electro whipper, ready and waiting to be propelled into a club setting, circulating the room, simmering as it begins to build a unique atmosphere on the dance floor, allowing the imagination to wander. 

A powerful quest through Oshana’s versatile vibe, essential underground moods for the hazy hours of the night.

On the flip side “Echoes’ is an acid-tingled deep cut that will make move every dancefloor, closing the EP is the superb bleepy number “Mode 7”. Limited to 300 copies, don’t miss it.
