For Jesse Somfay music has always been about communicating and sharing immense feelings which he finds impossible to convey in any other way. His Borealis alias was born as a twinned satellite to his work under his birth name. Much like conjoined twins, the two share the same heart and breathe with the same lungs, and even though they speak of similar things, they do it from two different vantage points. According to Jesse, it is better for something to be felt in whole than to be defined and reflected upon in approximation, and this album - his sixth to date and second under the Borealis handle - is a truly wholesome, boundless, gorgeous emotional experience on both the end of its creator and its listener. 

Glittervoice is Somfay's most energetically intense work to date. It is both euphoric and dysphoric and the music itself cannot be pigeonholed into any particular genre - hints of techno, oldschool trance or rave complement each other just to ultimately get lost in an artfully crafted trademark sound. It’s easy to allow this multifaceted, hyperlayered, continuously shapeshifting aural multiverse to deprive you of any form of reason, activate all senses and carry you where no music has before, regardless of where you listen to it. Glittervoice’s 16 tracks encompass everything from visceral warehouse techno to stylish ambient compositions via rapid hypnotic drum loops and trance synths of cosmic proportions, all filtered through his unique etherial aesthetic. 

Having something equally introspective and weighty yet exceptionally club-friendly is a rare feat that could soundtrack any modern techno mecca - be it a big dark room or an open air festival. 
The emergence of Borealis meant an unexpected turn for Somfay, but at the end of the day, much like its worthy genre-defying predecessor, Glittervoice is yet another album not of this reality - a sonic guide to entering “the flow”.

Borealis - Streamsnare

This one is simple but effective - 3 note riff, break, build, distorted smash, done. I've been playing it a lot recently, a good one for the clubs.

Even after the success of Diary N°1, Upon.You’s first CD label compilation, it was clear that this Berlin crew wasn’t through with their adventures and had every intention to keep documenting them (and doodling in the margins, too). With nearly 70 releases in their catalog and with recurring label nights held in their hometown’s top clubs Berghain/Panorama Bar and Watergate, Upon.You felt it was time to make another full-length statement in the form of Diary N°2, compiling 12 new, exclusive tracks, showing the label’s wide sonic spectrum within the realm of techno and house music.

Written and produced by Mario Willms and Franziska Grohmann.

Just Emma delivered an outstanding remix which will take the listener on an odyssey through deepest parts of House music. The German duo already released music on labels such as Katermukke and their own imprint Underyourskin Records. Wistful Ropes is the perfect track to end this superb debut EP by Solemn Eye. The track consists of spacey synths combined with a floating drum-groove and percussion-sounds. All together a must have for the supporters of the melodic side of electronic music.

Solemn Eye - Wistful Ropes (Original Mix)

Death on the Balcony's ‘Tides Of Fortune' has been the subject of relentless "track ID" requests pleading us to reveal the name of the artist and track since Be-At-TV streamed the BPM performance of Lee Burridge and Matthew Dekay back in 2015. 
Joined on the EP by three other tracks there's a cohesive feel to the two friends vibe. Mysterious melodies drift in and out of the hypnotic grooves on Rivers of sound that could have soundtracked a star trek episode from the original series.

'1700 miles' is delicate and deep with a simple infectious vocal sample. Don't be deceived though. When played on a club system the kick drum and bassline draw you in while the atmospheric elements send the listener to otherworldly places. We feel rather privileged as this track is Mark’s first solo outing from DOTB under his new moniker “Caramelli” and DOTBs first full length on All Day I Dream. 

Mark’s back in the band for 'Memories Of The Future' which completes the release with its funky bass and trippy ambience. 

Close your eyes and be transported.

Berlin based DJ Powel is next up on Behrouz’s Do Not Sit on the Furniture
label with five tracks of hugely atmospheric house.
Mixing signature rhythms with fine percussion and real musical and emotival
depth, Powel has become a key player in the globe scene. He’s a resident
with Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream around the world and Do Not Sit on the
Furniture in Miami. He also releases on Sol Selectas and is a real storyteller
as these tracks prove.
Opener Since We’ve Been is a dreamy bit of house with drifting pads passing
by like a warm breeze. Great vocal samples add real heart and ensure this
one radiants real heat. Who Put That Piano in the Jungle is a more tribal and
tropical bit of house with great drums and percussion sounding all steamy and
seductive. The groove runs deep with animal sounds adding to the exotic feel
and great piano lines bringing the melody.
Doorbell Symphony is a smooth deep house groove with subtle pads and
warm chords all fleshing out the rubbery drums. It’s classy and filled with real
emotions before A Record This Quiet picks things up with breezy house vibes.
Great chord stabs and more spring day ambience swirls around as spoken
word samples add feeling and keys drenched in echo are lovably louche and
loose. Last of all, Tuesday Blues sways to and fro with thoughtful pads
encouraging you to cut loose and allow yourself to day dream as you get lost
in the beautiful drums.
This is a tasteful EP of inventive and expressive house music filled with
worldly feelings.

Max Cooper is an electronic composer, multi-disciplinary artist, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art.

He holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos.

Cooper has enquired for over 15 years through music, collaborations, and his label Mesh, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations, performances, immersive experiences, online media, music videos and live events.  Anchored throughout is his emotive approach, connecting how ideas and forms feel, in a manner accessible to us all. 
 
As an artist synonymous with the evolution of club culture, Cooper honed his craft as a DJ with a 10 year residency at legendary Midlands techno event Firefly where he formed a foundational relationship with Architecture Social Club, with whom he still collaborates on extravagant immersive installations.

"I want to encourage the acceptance of electronic music as an art form like any other. Bringing electronic music and abstract audio-visual projects into concert halls, museums and galleries is liberating - the art world opens up doors to communicate in ways that aren’t possible elsewhere."
  
Pivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious:
 
"In both fields, you're in a sense, free. Free from the limits of living systems, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind."
