passEnger - Solar Flare (Stephen Brown Remix) - [Eclipsemusic - 2013]

It takes me around an hour and 15 minutes to get home from work. After a particularly tiring shift I fell into my seat on the bus and zoned out while watching the city go by through the condensation.

When I finally got home I spent the evening writing this.

This Soma Coma 6 compilation keeps the annual instalment of quality down tempo electronica at its consistently high level. With twelve tracks it is a massive offering of quality exclusive material and powerful remixes creating an immersive, well-balanced album. 

Joe Stawarz, Alex Under and Nadja Lind get this album off to a great start showcasing some of the newest talent producing records on the label. Suite b, Lluvia Para Dos and Alpha Chicken Dub all respectively provide engrossing listening and fantastic variety early on. 

Some of the names that have become synonymous with Soma records supply exciting new work and reinstate these stellar connections between artist and label. The Black Dog and Silicone Soul continue their long history of such collaboration. Walk and Feederrubout reprise, the former a Silicone Soul co-production with Vakama fit perfectly in with the style of this album with a strong sense of production and incorporating various intricate themes.    

There are two Slam remixes on the album with Echospace’s take on Groovelock and Onmutu Mechanicks’ Dark forces producing unique new sounds straight out of the Soma vaults. The Groovelock remix highlights the unique Echospace sound with imposing waves and drops, and smooth fluidity. The Dark Forces remix is an individual and perfectly sculpted version of the track with a deep, infectious style which does justice to the original.

The album finishes with a special Plant Pot People track, Duey’s Lament. This acts as a storming outro with guitar feedback and strong sustained notes adding physical impact to the music right up until the last. 

There are different sections to this album with darker more brooding moments expanding out into vast soundscapes and spacious tracks. This sort of detail and balance helps to tie together a collection of top tracks to make a formidable whole. Added to the list of top talent mentioned so far there are tracks from all manner of great artists at various stages of their careers all of whom add a totally unique and distinctive sound to the mix. This is another standout compilation in this series that, as always, doesn’t fail to disappoint.

Silent Sleeper

I started dj'ing around 1995 after regular visits to Geushky...the only club in Portsmouth that played 'proper' techno in the 90's. 

It was my love of true minimal techno like Rob Hood, Jeff Mills and Dan Bell that spawned my email address and, subsequently, a name that I became associated with by anyone that knew me through the music (minimal boffin).

I was always fascinated with the idea of making my own music, having played the trumpet and violin through my youth, and started messing around with a few cheap pieces of gear when I went to University in Scotland around 1997. My very first track was a remix of Aztlan by The Aztec Mystic.

I stopped buying records around the time that Covert Records closed down in Brighton and, after a lengthy hiatus from anything musical, I started making music again when I moved to Australia in 2005.

I think that the music I make is a result of my past as much as anything else. I feel it's a lot more 'driving' than a great deal of the other tracks around that might be considered the same genre. 

I LOVE the sound of grainy, moving, rhythmic pads and percussion and it never ceases to amaze me how much can be achieved with a laptop, a basic plugin synth with a few effects and your imagination.
