Lobster Distribution - Week 38

https://lobsterrecords.co.uk/products/erta-ale-sln016

‘SLN016’ is a 4 break beat track journey which kicks off the release of the opening track ‘SLN016A1’. Easing into break house at it’s finest with soulful vocals, organic drumming and jazzy bass lines. In his ‘state of flow’ attitude, Erta Ale presents quite possibly his best electro-break house release so far; thick kicks interpolated with chords and disorientating solo-synths, characterized by the other tracks on this EP. Mastered in full analog style by the master Tim Xavier.

SLN016

Erta Ale - SLN016 (12'' Vinyl Only) - Solenoid Records

Like a warm breeze drifting in over the sea from a white isle, Mazzo's six-track EP has summer written all over it.

Gentle Winds is an apt title for the range of clearly Balearic-influenced tracks here, taking in hands-in-the-air piano house on Baby I Let You A Bath In, 80s-style hot-funk electro on Blue Field, blissed-out ambient on Cosmic Kiss, and sun-kissed conga-led downtempo on Natural Living.

Across the EP Berlin-based producer Mazzo keeps the atmosphere sweet, smooth, and oh-so-hot. Perfect for the days we all wish would return: beach-bound, bar-side, and vibe-soaked.

A2 Organic Transfer (Clip)

We are excited to present Optical Illusions Volume I! This was an international effort between Electro warriors to bring some mind-altering and hard-hitting beats to the dancefloor.

Release date will be September 18th via Lobster Distribution in limited 12" Vinyl.

OPTILL001 - Preview [12"]

Coco Bryce summons his Chavinsky alias for a bass-heavy mystical journey through garage, house and 2-step with a sublime 5 track EP for Distant Horizons.

Ocean-depth subs underpin this EP as a heavy dose of UKG is thread through the A-side with the club-ready tones of 'Baby' and 'Hit The Way' loading up the 2-step influence for some seriously heavy wobblers. The side is finished out with the proto digi-dub vibes of 'Buy A Dream'. A short yet glorious centre pivot for the EP.

On the flip we're into some heavy groovin' deep house territory. 'Fantasy' is loaded up with classic timbres and slightly tranquilised vocals plus a buzzing LFO-tweaked bassline. A modern classic fusion of US house music and low-end UK sounds. 'Rushin' steps us to the end with a natural miniature breakbeat riding across a once-again nostalgic rhythm and bass interplay with vocal snips and gentle, melodic organ stabs weaving in and out of focus.

‘Fantasy’ drops Friday 18th September, via Distant Horizons.

HMD002 OMFORMER - Ascending / Distance

https://hmdrecords.com/

Omformer travel through the recesses of an ancient musical cosmos, reaching back in time toward the gestation of club music, where Ambient and Trance traditions converge at the heady heights of 140 beats per minute. Mikkel Rev and Oprofessionell combine efforts as Omformer in a 40-minute sojourn through the outer reaches of club music. The Uteklubb affiliates have been excavating the enduring sonic palette of 90s influenced club music for the past two years through Oslo’s UTE.REC label and clubbing consortium. They moonlight on local label HMD for Ascending/ Distance, a record that moves between effervescent ambience and heady transience.

Omformer stake their claim on the dance floor, bouncing through the first half of Ascending on vulcanized 808 beats and malevolent 303 bass-lines. Keys and pads stretch elastic tendrils into musical stratospheres where beatific melodies float across the turbulent rhythm sections. Halfway through the first track, Omformer abandon the dance floor for the second room, indulging the ambient proclivities that the Norwegian producer duo have come to cultivate across impressive one-hour compositions for their Sine sub-label. Serene pads, tracing wispy melodic threads through insouciant atmospheres create elegant pastures of sound through the second half of Ascending, which is then siphoned over to Distance for the most part of the record. Arpeggios flicker through an arrangement that languishes in the static realm of ambient music with the distant echo of a kick drum counting out the beats in calm meditation.


Ascending/ Distance finds Omformer during a creative flurry of activity that has seen a slew of records and tracks come via their UTE.REC label and sub-label Sine. Together with Uteklubb, they’ve been leading a charge for Ambient- and Trance music in Norway for the better part of three years, with events, DJ sets and live performances laying fertile ground for a new scene growing out of Norwegian woods.
