Namatjira - Sequoia (Li-Polymer Remix)

"The latest release on Tash's Movement Recordings welcomes Li-Polymer back to the label for a brand new EP. The Portuguese artist last appeared on the Greek with a remix of 'Undiscovered Highway' by Erdi Irmak. Also finding a home on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music earlier this year, Li-Polymer now returns to Movement Recordings for his much anticipated 'Mysticism' EP, alongside remixes from Jamie Stevens and Interaxxis.

Beginning with the title cut 'Mysticism' you immediately get a feel for what the Li-Polymer sound is all about. Unique beat patterns combined organic percussion and dreamy themes make for a lovely beginning. It's unconventional storyboard breeds anticipation, as velvety textures and cosmic effects bring an esoteric air. Kaleidoscopic chimes brighten the atmosphere, ultimately leading to the tracks centrepiece. Haunting and emotive in equal measure it caps off what might be a career best production for Li-Polymer thus far. The companion piece 'Phoebus' comes in equally refined and a touch more enigmatic. It's stripped, punchy groove is a delight with cosmic trails and shifty rhythms leading to a reservoir of emotive sonics. It's a piece built on restraint and refinement , deeply engaging and perfect for a late night dance floor. Two stunning creations with depth, character and a refined sonic space. Li-Polymer continues to amaze.

The lone interpretation of 'Mysticism' is provided by Jamie Stevens who is making his first appearance on Movement Recordings. Much revered, the Australian artist has a career spanning over two decades, highlighted by his work with Infusion and a solo career which includes releases on Bedrock, Lost & Found, microCastle and Sudbeat. His borderless approach to production has made him a favourite amongst both techno and progressive DJs alike, with John Digweed and Guy J being two of his biggest supporters. Jamie's expansive creative palette is revealed once again on his 'Mysticism' interpretation. It's deep, techno inspired beginnings are both meditative and anticipatory, with fragmented didgeridoos and mystical effects creating a psychedelic storyboard. Underlying tension builds, sizzling as the centrepiece unfolds, where the main theme flourishes and warped tones arrive with just right esoteric touch, sealing what is ultimately an intense yet emotional journey from one of the underground's most creative talents.

The lone interpretation of 'Phoebus' is provided by Interaxxis who are returning to Movement Recordings for their second appearance. Argentinean artists Emiliano Folgar and Martin Kazez make up the Interaxxis duo and first appeared on the Greek imprint in August of last year with a remix of 'Patterns' by Erdi Irmak. Now following releases on Cid Inc's Replug Records and Guy Mantzur's Plattenbank Records, Interaxxis make a much welcome return to Movement and close the release out with a spectacular rendition of 'Phoebus'. The duo's knack for carving out warm, round grooves has never been more apparent with a buoyant foundation anchoring the piece. Beaming with positivity, playful rhythms and rolling drums create a momentous cadence moving forward. Timely transitions shift energy beautifully over the first act before a tension filled break resets the groove for a stunning dance floor moment. A pure progressive take and a great complement to the original.

An exceptional return to Movement for Li-Polymer and perhaps one of the label's most inspired releases all year. Don't miss it."

"Li-Polymer makes his Asymmetric debut ep, after a roll of successful releases on Sudbeat, Movement, Juicebox and ICONYC to name just a few. The Portuguese DJ and producer has been gaining Global recognition and her delivers the rather tasty 'Broken Machine'.

The original is a deep and hypnotic workout, with a deliciously cool arp like pattern that gets inside your mind, whilst the bass subtly moves and the pads glide in adding depth and warmth, surround by cool percussion. Very cool indeed,

Marten Sundberg steps up first on remix duties, and and delivers a wonderful warm yet pulsating rework, that has a seriously punchy bassline yet retaining the beauty from the original. Big!

John Cosani's rework is a haunting re-interpretation that intensifies and packs a real punch. One for losing your mind to on the dance floor for sure." - @asymmetricrecordings

"One of the most eccentric progressive house producers on the scene is definitely Li-Polymer. Madeira based producer, drains the inspiration from the nature, where the mountains meet the ocean, of this beautiful island, so his tracks mostly consist beautiful atmospheric sounds implemented into progressive house groove. A true story telling sounds. We are glad to announce his second appearing on One Of A Kind with two originals that make this EP complete.
We hope you'll enjoy this release and leave us your kind comments/feedbacks." - @oneofakindmuzik

"One of the progressive scenes finest producers Li-Polymer returns to the label for his second appearance and provides the first remix. The Portuguese artist made his ICONYC debut ‘Conventu’ which was released in July of last year. Also owning releases on Asymmetric Recordings, Juicebox Music, Movement and Sudbeat, Li-Polymer continues to be one of the most in demand remixers out there. His uniquely organic sound has worked amazingly well on ‘Dreams of 94 in 120’. The effortless, laid back vibe created here is incredibly inviting and once the warm, pixie-like harmonies take shape during the second act you realize what a real talent Li-Polymer is. Perfectly set up, it’s an emotive yet tasteful centrepiece which serves to reset the groove for a more hypnotic third act finale."

“O Baco esteve connosco quase 13 anos, um verdadeiro gentle dog e not so gentle sometimes, mas perfeito aos meus olhos.
Um verdadeiro amigo de 4 patas, um verdadeiro campeão! 
O Li-Polymer conheceu-o e conhecia também a ligação que eu tinha com o Baco.
Pediu-me vídeos, usou os sons, e aqui está uma bonita melodia, um tributo, a passagem do Baco para outras bandas, mas para sempre no meu coração. 
Obrigada Fábio ❤” - Cláudia Fernandes

From a home on the Madeira archipelago, Li-Polymer been a regular on the underground dance industry's imprints for over a decade through music signed to the likes of Balkan Connection, Lowbit and Juicebox Music. A 2014 debut for Particles saw a remix of Matt Rowan followed by a series of original releases on the label's seasonal compilation series before May 2017's "Crystal Serenity" marked a notable highlight. Returning with another twin-track original offering, "Jacaranda" is a rich flowing piece that blossoms through its delicate melodic phrasing that drifts in sultry fashion while a sumptuous delayed motif and uptempo arp add counterpoint joy. A deep kick and light percussive vibe trip across the 9-minute piece with ease in a joyous offering. At over 10-minutes, "All Together We Are More" is redolent in opulent soundscapes that hold sway over muted kick and hi-hat pattern. Evolving gently through subtle melodic variation, textured pads drift across the track as a swathe of phrases entwine before a delayed motif makes its play in the third movement. The result is a compelling piece from the Portuguese artist.

Fresh from remixes of their outstanding "Stoyote" EP on Proton Music, the relatively new musical partnership of LADS & Traumhouse find themselves making their Particles debut. Regulars on such esteemed labels as Rebellion der Tarumer, Nie Wieder Schlafen and Guy J's Lost & Found, the LADS partnership has grown in stature over the past 18 months. Regulars on Proton Music with an array of original music, "Stoyote" was another landmark moment in 2020 which included a collaboration from Traumhouse. Joining forces with the German artist who has featured on the likes of Magician On Duty, A Must Have and Manual Music, the LADS & Traumhouse reworking of "Jacaranda" is a sumptuous offering that revels in low-slung groove and filtered percussive roll. Characterised by a dark and gritty groove with its roots in the original, intelligent use of remix components from the Li-Polymer track blend seamlessly with a swathe of original material from the production trio. The result is a stunning remix that hits its stride in the second half with detuned synth motifs and cascading sonic tapestry.

Another Proton Music regular, Hot TuneiK has created a stir with a new organic sound that witnessed the birth of his "Heightened Senses" EP in February 2020. With Vol. 2 on the horizon in 2021, the Mexican's unique sound has been a favourite on a growing number of labels that include the likes of Balkan Connection, 3rd Avenue and Visceral. Finding an array of releases on Particles that include 2017's "Erase & Rewind" and 2018's "Tulum", Hot TuneiK now returns to the label for the first time since an August 2020 remix of Vidno. Reworking "Jacaranda", the melodic subtlety of the original is retained while a purposeful rhythmic backdrop provides a unique new direction through tape delays and percussive edge. Hitting its stride with an array of new production material that includes a meandering lead synth line and pulsating bassline in the second half, Hot TuneiK showcases talent in abundance.

As Li-Polymer's craftsmanship comes to the fore once more, "Jacaranda" blossoms alongside remixes from LADS, Traumhouse and Hot TuneiK.
