Emancipator returns to continue his collaborative hot streak with the first single taken from a forthcoming album project with long-time collaborator, label-mate, and member of his live band – Lapa. 

“Souldia” is another interesting sonic turn for the musicians as they cast their talents to the outer realms of dance music and incorporate deep and tech house influences into an expansive and winding arrangement. 

The track starts with a calm feeling of mystery and anticipation that unfolds into a journey of non-stop forward motion, riding a razor's edge of lightness and darkness along the way before culminating in an unexpected orchestral disco peak section, fitting of Studio 54, where Lapa’s violin influences are on full display. 

This was one of the first tracks to be completed from the new album and acts as a calling card for the full length – showcasing a new and entirely open composition style where any instrument or influence is brought in to the fold and utilised in new and unexpected ways. 

It’s an experimental take on the roots of electronic music that sees the duo exploring uncharted musical territories more akin to DJ mixes than any of their previous material yet remaining accessible by the familiar anchor of four-on-the-floor beats.

'Mountain of Memory' is the new LP from critically acclaimed downtempo producer Emancipator, out now on Loci Records.

Mountain of Memory’s 14 free-flowing tracks effortlessly encapsulate his entire musical history without sounding forced or overly complicated: Mid-tempo dance grooves, solid boom bap hip-hop beats and calm, reflective tempos blend with electric and acoustic guitars, classical violin, Persian dilruba, cimbaloms, finger snaps, symphonic strings, bubbling water, Latin and African hand
drumming, music boxes, Baroque flutes and opera singers, who add unexpected vocal ornamentations to accent certain melodic phrases. Underlying it all, is the bed of sound Appling produces using electric pianos, ethereal synthesizer washes, processed and almost inaudible vocals, soothing ambient textures and the pulsing of an infinite heartbeat produced by electronic bass tones.

Three years after his visionary “Desert Horizon” single on Infusion, Vol. 3, Australia-based Chamberlain returns to Gravitas Recordings with Ancient Technology. Heavy basslines are tethered with organic acoustic atmospheres to create stomping beats across six mystical heaters. Featuring a collaboration with Projekt CC and an official remix by Zebbler Encanti Experience, Ancient Technology is a collection of work that centers around themes and cultural experiences tied into Chamberlain’s musical expression. Through revisiting the past, Ancient Technology invigorates those to embrace innovation and open the door for further artistic developments.
 
Atmospheric technological scans commence in “Lippy” as a whomping banger shortly ensues. Venturing through the wilderness, “Jungle Whispers” encircle you in a glitch ambush as worldly strings accompany the capturer. Things soon turn to “Dust” when otherworldly, thumping bass infiltrates the immersive environment. Exploring the territory, “Jellyfish” continuously rebound within the inky surface waters. When night begins to fall, Chamberlain enlists Projekt CC to share “Stories Under Stars” about a powerful quest through heavy sound dynamics. Zebbler Encanti Experience remixes “Dust” to offer an accelerated extension of the original, powering down Ancient Technology.
