Lounge Tracks

From community hopper to promotion and event production,
He always saw music as a form of connection.
Djing and producing, his way to express;
Serendipity by the lake, watching the magic coalesce. 

Kris Lee takes over Episode 51 for Rapture Radio this week. With his playful style and percussive sounds, he started his journey into house in the Burning Man scene and has touched every realm of music since: from intimate events to festivals to everything in between. Get ready for this week’s set that’s a different take from his usual vibe; a form of closure from the last year - starting with his first collaborative remix and continuing with tunes that are more melodic and deeper than the vibe he is best known for.

Rapture Radio 051 // Kris Lee

It might seem like all positivity got lost between lockdowns and unrest, lost in search of the get-togethers that haven't happened for way too long. Yet its always been there, and Amarte is a compelling proof. Compelling as in: The glandular burst that lights up our brains on the first sunny day of spring after a long and dark winter. As a reaction to the bleak year that lies behind us the sound of Amarte's debut album "Amore Amore" is best described as undiluted musical positivity. Positivity in all shapes and colors, because from the symphonic opening track to the banging zest of Riding The Storm to the balearic dopeness of Smoothie there's a stunning variety of it. Carried along on the undertow of classic song structures and using vocals as a medium of emotion, Amarte leans strongly towards the sensual catchiness of Pop while planning along on its very own version of uplifting groove.

Our Autumn

Who better to kick off the inaugural release of SOBO [Sounds Of Beaubien Ouest] than Patrick Holland, best known as Project Pablo. Affiliated with the Canadian Riviera's 1080p troupe, as well as Seb Wildblood's Church and Lone's Magicwire – Holland now adds Beaubien Dream as the fourth instalment to his 12" series. The Beaubien connection comes from Montreal's Rue Beaubien, of which Holland is a resident. SOBO is headed up by fellow longstanding citizens of the Beaubien Ouest hood, Arbutus Records and their extended family – of which Holland is an instrumental part.

An initial teaser of the EP's opening "Closer" was aired publicly during Holland's BR London set back in October, as well as his NTS appearance with Lone and Gabriola earlier this year. Now, after a patient seven-month wait, we can finally wrap our mitts around it in its entirety. Alongside its two subsequent components, the track acts as a homage to Holland's home. With its distinctive Dx7 melodies, jingly percussion provided by bells (of the cow variety amongst others) and an insatiable groove growing lazily throughout – "Closer" is instantaneous happiness.

Catch Beaubien Dream in full on 3rd June via SOBO.

Following their eponymously titled 2016 arrival on Midland's Graded imprint, as well as a recent follow-up on Dark Entries, @Solitary-Dancer return to the label on which they made their debut. Once again, this three-track 12” blends electro, ambient, and acid to superb, undeniably modern effect. 

With a running time of nearly 12-minutes, the title track 'Transmitting To Heaven' is an ambitiously sweeping cut that subtly moves through its various shades, from electro and acid, to strobe-lit 90s rave.

The B-side kicks off with 'Birth of Saturn', built around an arpeggiating synth that shifts and morphs throughout the track as the intensity ascends. The 12” closes off with 'At The End Of The Corridor Of Love, A Loss', a slow burning ambient piece that is as sombre as it is cinematic.

You've been waiting for this. The break-neck speed, the sun blindness of emerging from the shadow. Here is no darkness, just warmth that spills in a scalding beat, a cascade of ash and thunder. Don't look too long, it's not for us to know the spiderwebs behind the making of this moment. It is only ours to feel that fresh splendor and forget the shade that was before.
