Breakfake - Out A Road / Cold War (forthcoming 10")

Way back when EA was in its infancy, Zygos appeared on the scene and had a couple of digital releases...  We promised him a vinyl and for whatever reason the moons and stars would not align.

All most like magic I reached out late last year and this wonderous release presented itself!

ENV032 is built around alot of BASS. Infact so much i am not sure how Zygos makes it so strong.  However its no bad thing that he does.

The release consists of 3 tracks .

A. Get Nowhere
B. Bottom Line
BB. Jamais

From 16th you will be able to purchase this release exclusively from Bandcamp

Mixed and Engineered by Georgio Roumans
Mastered by Beau @ Ten Eight Seven

DREAM EATER 006 - A - Kromestar - Culprits

"Recognise" is track #3 from the album "The Staircase LP", out now on Macabre Unit Digital.

"The idea when writing 'The Staircase' was to come up with a journey that transitions from a dark place to a lighter one, the album represents the struggles with anxiety and panic disorder, the belief that it's possible to get yourself back to the person you once were before those things took a hold on your life and the changes you might need to make to achieve that.

The track titles in sequence form a type of step program (one reason why the album title is called 'The Staircase') where I've tried to say things like try not to let your mind run away with all of the dread that comes with panic attacks, try to visualise yourself in a better place in the future, realise the things you need to do and need to stop doing to get where you need to be and make sure you act upon what you think is the right thing to do.

For me anxiety came on very hard and fast in late 2016, sudden bouts of heart racing, hyperventilating tingling panic would grip me and leave me delirious and honestly fearing for my life, the progression in the album reflects my progress over the last 3 years as I continued to make lifestyle changes to find what was putting me in that place and figure out how I could avoid it, it's an ongoing struggle to be honest, I don't think it will ever go away, as it's a mindset that is very hard to shake, but now I can at least manage it and understand what brings it on the most, for me that is, this progress has me in a much better place now than where I was when it all started.

So the steps laid out in the album aren't as direct as stop drinking, up your exercise regime, eat healthy etc... but more an overall look at what I think one might need to do to get to a better place, we're all different and different things trigger us, so realising what puts you there in the first place and asking yourself what you'd need to change to stop that from happening is more of the idea behind the steps.

Artistically and technically the album had to be a step up for me too, I'd fallen into a habit of lazy and sub standard production by even my standards, time and energy has been focused on the 9-5 for years and my music became poor as a result, I had to take the time to make sure I was happy with the sound, the flow of the album and the sonics too, plus I wanted every track to have something about it that either screwed my face up or stirred some emotion.

Something a little bit different for me in the make-up of this album was that the majority of the tracks were written with the track title in mind, usually I'd name a track after I finished it, but for the most part of this album I already had the tracklist down and I wrote the tracks to their names and position in the album.
I guess it's quite a serious and sobering idea behind it all, although I hope the music itself is on the right vibe for people to get down with, regardless of whether someone can relate to the struggles of anxiety or not, I hope this is something they can take some good vibes from."

Jalaya - Resurrection VIP [NEST HQ PREMIERE]

Here is the newest Shanti Planti series episode by PATHWEY.

Pathwey is the brainchild of Asheville based producer, composer, instrumentalist, visual artist, and DJ, Andrew Bunyan. Through the fusion of cutting edge sound design, hyper detailed production, and unique composition, Pathwey masterfully constructs captivating auditory experiences. His immersive soundscapes are alive with organic textures, mind-bending basslines, dynamic instrumentations, and evolving rhythms that move the body, mind, and soul. Pathwey has released music through a number of different labels, including Merkaba Music and Aquatic Collective, and has performed at festivals and events across the US and Canada.

With influences covering the spectrum of electronic music, from psychedelic, dubstep, drum’n’bass, and glitch-hop, to downtempo, IDM, ambient, and world music, Pathwey takes listeners on a journey beyond the boundaries of genre into new and unknown realms of sound. His inspiration stems from many sources including his past experiences, the beauty of nature, cultures from around the world, deep visionary states, and the unsolved mysteries of life. With these catalysts, Pathwey boldly explores the depth of human emotion, forging a path from our ancient past to our distant future to create a moment of pure self expression.

The intention behind the project is to make a positive impact on the world and its inhabitants. Through fundraising and promoting progressive ideas, Pathwey is not only a journey through sound, but also a vehicle for positive environmental and social transformation. In an industry driven by trends and consumerism, Pathwey diverges from the herd and carves his own passage through the world of music. Guided solely by the heart and the forces of inspiration, there is no telling where the journey might take us…

PATHWEY | Shanti Planti Series Vol.23 | 15/02/2019

Quanta’s 2019 EP release, “Fragmented,” pulls listeners into a mesmeric dub atmosphere, where undulating baselines, crystalline instrumentals, and fragmented synthetics dance like celestial sprites in the realm of the sublime. Drawing upon the metamorphic influence of the psychedelic odyssey, Quanta’s vision of modern dub music is an entrancing journey into soothing organica and sultry bass that merges sound and emotion into an ever-shifting state of kaleidoscopic unity. Illuminated by two collaboration tracks sewn from the roots of the Shanti Planti landscape, “Fragmented” continues the tale of conjuring sound from the vast space and pulsating depths of the human experience. //

Read the River Beats premiere: riverbeats.life/morillo-colibri-a…emiere-interview/

Proven to be a versatile artist of many styles and vibes, MORiLLO goes a step further to develop his sound with his debut album, Colibri. In the beginning of 2019, MORiLLO journeyed south to the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Peru. There, he was able to dedicate his creative attention to producing unique, forward-thinking music that is naturally embedded with the mystical and magical energies that flow through the ancient valley. Inspired by fresh world beats that make your body move, Colibri offers a wide array of flavors including organic flutes, drum-set grooves, percussion, saxophones, trombones, vocals and conch shells mixed with deep 808s and synths.

MORiLLO introduces Colibri with “One Love, One Heart." It focuses on an all original tribal chant, accompanied by words of unity and a fluid, global soundscape that culminates into conch shell bass bombs. “World House” takes listeners on a safari adventure through bass house, while exploring more soundscapes and organic percussive elements. Featuring MORiLLO on live drums, “Guinea Pig” and “Ascension” showcase a unique sound created by combining drum-set grooves with classic bass wubs and wobbles. “PPV’s," which features Baltimore based rapper AWALL, spotlights MORiLLO’s taste for trap bangers with the track’s signature cascading percussive clinks that precede a distorted space bass drop. Moving forward, ominous sounds gradually crescendo until “Booty” drops into a minimalistic space and an infectious flute melody floats over a deep hip hop groove. In a three way collaboration with Peruvian based rap duo Ulula Roots and flutist Nelson BC, “Fire Burn” conveys a bi-lingual message of stoking the fire within overtop a downtempo hip hop groove and deep 808s. Shakers and more flutes in “Humming Bird” create a tense build up from a beautiful acoustic environment to a dubbed out tech house groove. MORiLLO’s deeply rooted reggae influences make a quick appearance in “Brooklyn,” before a massive horn line bounces overtop heavy 808s. Closing out the album, “Movement” deceptively starts quiet but is quickly met with a banging drum groove as an unexpected infusion of bass wubs and more emotional global elements enter.

Throughout Colibri, MORiLLO explores multiple genres and styles within electronic music. However, it is tied together with a carefully selected palette of authentic instruments and rhythms that give Colibri a truly recognizable sound that allows it to transcend genre labels and simply be good music.
