In anticipation of our event this upcoming weekend, we are staying amongst the Ute familiars. One of today’s best kept secrets, Mikkel Rev, is contributing to the next Positivesource ‘Bundle’. Positivesource is a fresh label founded by Blue Hour and Philippa Pacho during the pandemic and absence of nightlife. The series brings together various artists with a focus on progressive attitudes in dance music while paying homage to our roots in early club culture.

With ‘Entrance’, Mikkel creates a completely unique atmosphere of dark flotation. The energetic kick accompanied by compelling soundscapes create a deep flow that you just don’t want to end. This is one of those tracks that is meant for big systems.

Premiere: Mikkel Rev - Entrance [src003]

Maybe my inner grooves are struck. A moment ago we took a break from reality. That’s when it all began. Candid synths recommend heading to the dancefloor. Hello again, old friend. But that’s not all. Over and over again we are reminded of the genius of house music. Xylophones, modular synthetic madness are all part of the show.
 
Now read the first letter of all previous sentences and you’ll understand.
 
This 6-tracked banger is hitting the soundwaves in respectable fashion. Enlightening, magical, soft-spoken, outspoken, understandable, relatable. Howling whistling other-worldy space-shuttle-infused concoctions of rhythm. A classic, well-rounded, full-bodied embodiment of what our bodies must currently be fed: good old, forward-thinking tunes. Out on the 19th, we proudly present Nineteen by the one and only @Matchbox1

The German FM synthesis wizard Luca Daniel Schwarz aka LDS (https://soundcloud.com/ldstechno) presents his upcoming release 'algo5' on the Berlin label Blue Hour Music (https://soundcloud.com/bluehour909). The EP captures a wide range of sonic ground with an innovative and futuristic edge, like our trembling and thrilling premiere pick: ‘Vone’.

After head-turning releases on Transatlantic and Monnom Black, the mysterious LDS now drops a versatile record full of playful loops, experimental beats and virtuoso melody lines. Being “currently or forever on research”, as the artist puts it, LDS is able to arouse his listeners while making them search for visionary perspectives and new meanings of music at the very same time.

‘Vone’ is the second track of the bursting B-side that propels some dynamic and cracking rhythms through the ether.

Producers shrouded behind reptilian pseudonyms, snake-skin-like patterns etched onto album artworks and a tonally cool yet euphoric sound, Amniote Editions is a label with a remarkable aesthetic. Termed ‘capsules’, releases refer to the closed-off spaces of wombs carrying amniotes inside of them. At the same time, the label itself is a not-so-restricted venture and establishes a growing global creative network.
