Ultimae proudly presents "Gneiss", a first solo EP on the label for Danish composer Tore Kofod Hyldahl aka Erot after his participation on Martin Nonstatic's "Granite Remixes" and releases on labels such as Iboga Records, Altar and Fallen Metropolis.

The emotive and abstract musical tale invites the listener to escape perception, understanding and apprehend the vast of music, of nature, time and space. Grounded yet floating freely, the chiselled rhythms and the evanescent pads create the cradle of contrasts in which one can let himself be lulled and carried away on a deep and delicate journey. Erot welcomes aboard space ambient and downtempo initiates Henrik Rolsted Laugesen and Vincent Villuis, respectively known as Lauge and AES Dana to fuel the experience with extra cinematic atmospheres and beats.

Creation : Evolved, out October 7th on Gravitas Recordings, is a reimagining of the fan favorite Somatoast Album regarding the alchemy of creativity. Inspired by nature, Somatoast makes use of the natural world to serve technical, musical purposes. Seeds pods make shakers and icicles are a percussive ensemble. These carefully selected remixes take each track and expand it in a new way, taking on new genres and styles while keeping the original sounds and ideas of the originals.

Tapping in Boyd Hill (Morillo Remix) begins the remix compilation with a stunning atmosphere and live drumming captivating the listener, building into beautiful strings and an unreal vibe to start this journey.  Dawn (Arcturus Remix) continues these flawless drums into a faster liquid drum & bass pattern with drippy synths and sound design, putting anyone in a happy mood.  Kokoa (Alex Unger Remix) slows down the pace in a perfect way with live strings and a tribal beat impossible not to move to, a flawless groove with dreamy sounds throughout.  Kokoa (Liquid Bloom Remix) takes these same dreamy sounds and original track into a whole new light with added piano and a heavy half-time beat, perfectly blending the line between the two different vibes.  Icicle (Slyph Remix) begins with drippy texture and foley, slowly bringing in light drum & bass drum patterns into a dreamy liquid drum & bass track for the first drop and a perfect half-time counter for the final drop. Creation is Creation (Faelow Remix) dives into the original album title track in a whole new way, with more drippy textures and foley over a downtempo beat that takes a full journey.  Creation is Creation (Alex Fun Remix) takes a completely different approach and creates an insanely groovy house track, using the same mind-melting sounds into a whole new style that we can’t stop bopping our heads to.  Icicle (Lil Fish Remix) takes the same Icicle track in a whole new direction with captivating string instruments building into an epic drop capturing the signature Lil Fish sound, a perfect closing of this compilation.

"So it seems with the passing of time the world seems to be moving a lot faster. It's definitely what has contributed to me leaning into my love of downtempo beats and blissed out melody. They soothe my weary head as I plow through endless piles of work and help provide the soundtrack to my down time. Translating this passion to the dance floor is something that I love to do and I am honoured to have had the chance at Esoteric's chill island.

This mix covers some ambient, electronica, downtempo, trip hop and even some hip hop. The breathe. family took over the stage for four hours with J-Slyde on immediately after me. I hope you enjoy the set as much as I did compiling it <3"

Never Ending Garden

The way you move, only moonlight on your skin… 
the way I feel, the sweet throbbing from within...

Your berryblack eyes wide with delight as you pressed a finger against my lips.
Your scent filled my nostrils and I was helpless as I pressed against you, eyes closed, head spinning, delightful shivers running up and down my spine.
Your mouth, the taste of honey cake and raspberry wine, softly brushing my neck, my chin, my lips.
Starlight danced on your fingertips, sending small lightning buzzes all over my skin.
Your voice of midnight smoothness, whisperings of sweet promises.
Taunting. Teasing.
And my treacherous body turning slick. Arching. Aching.

Your eyes were moonlit ponds, sparkling with mischief, challenging me.
Wanting me.
I fell in love with you then.
In that exact moment of beauty, longing,
of danger and lust,
I fell in love...

Made by recording myself playing my handpan, and looping the recordings and keep adding more sounds, effects and melodies from the handpan. 
Then arranged in Ableton with the addition of pads, a kick and a shaker.

The words are from my ongoing fantasy book that I have been writing on, on and off, for more than 15 years. 
The project has only been for myself and my own personal enjoyment, writing in bulks whenever inspiration visits me, and I have not shared any of it with anybody really. 
And as I have no intention of ever publishing the book, (but who knows what will happen), I suddenly felt inspired by my new musical creation, to share some lines from the book as a backdrop to the musical journey, that I think turned out very sensual and beautiful.

“The Candle of Truth”

It is said that in only the most shadowed corners of the world, in dark catacombs and hidden bunkers, cursed relics of ancient warlocks attempting to seek the power of prophecy reside inside. Candles of Truth were created millennia ago, and the answers provided by them drove their creators insane, leading to the living artifacts being hidden around the world.

They appear inert at first glance, and only spring to life when their wick is lit aflame. Their eyes then light up, and the brightness of their fire blasts visions of every moment of your future to you in a disorienting sequence until their wax is fully melted. This kind of information was not something that humanity could ever handle at once, however, and absolute insanity is nearly guaranteed.

It has been discovered, as previously mentioned, that these artifacts are indeed alive, and the process of burning them for answers is incredibly excruciating to them. It is highly advised that they are left to gather dust in subterranean storage throughout the world, as their inert state is like a dreamless coma. Best to let these creatures not experience that sort of pain.

The madness experienced by people exposed to the answers given by Candles of Truth drives them to truly horrible things, especially mass murder and occult activity. The price of understanding is far too grave for the benefit to ever be worth it, and lighting a Candle of Truth is one of the worst decisions one could ever make.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Wax Blood” closes things out with the most high-octane energy of the project. The bells and jittery synth melody immediately make you feel like you’re present for the end of the world, and then the drops plunge into some of the most fiery flows I’ve ever written down. Even in the moments of downtime, there’s no relaxation as the suffocating atmosphere keeps things on edge. The entire track feels like constant panic, and ends off with feelings of unsolved questions, setting up Chapter 2.
