It seems Gestalt Records are going to end the year on a strong note, not that anyone, keeping an eye on this bustling outfit, would expect otherwise. In just over 3 years of existence they have released a number of stellar EPs from producers with fresh ideas and elegant sounds. Encompassing trippy progressive, leftfield house, hypnotic breaks and everything in between - the Tallinn-based label has created a signature sound which we’re big fans of here at Bolting Bits. And it is obvious that the latest addition to their ranks will fit right in.

For their 25th release, Gestalt Records have recruited Ed Hodge, who has previously released on Distant Horizons, White Peach and Dansu Discs. Hailing from the city of Birmingham, he also makes up ½ of Mother Of Pearls, his partner being the impeccable Tom Jarmey. A true man of culture, Ed is a fully trained saxophonist/clarinettist and his output is laced with classical influences. And this release is a classic Gestalt Records 4-tracker - filled with surging beats, pacey atmosphere and progressive soundscapes.

Clocking in at just over 6 minutes, the title track ‘Zest’ was clearly created with a club setting in mind. The 127 BPM piece starts subtly but soon evolves into a rollicking number that features a number of ups and downs, sure to get listeners moving - whether that’d be on the dancefloor or under the table. The elevating synth line, coupled with relentless percussion and an obscure but catchy vocal sample holds ground and leads the way for the remainder of this forward-thinking release. Whether it’s the ethereal ‘Black Flag’, gritty ‘Genesis’ or acid-infused ‘The Secret History’, each track on the ‘Nassau’ EP features enthralling sound design and is ready to be put to the test, by the wide-eyed dancers around the world.

"Dimensions Variables” in French, is the standard term used to describe the size of an artwork that fluctuates or cannot be physically limited.
The evolution of music is continuous. Genres shift, temporal structures deform, formats explode, and all refuse to be confined to a box.
This first volume captures a precise moment, one where the scene, both in France and beyond, pushes creativity and the richness of what’s happening right now just a bit further. Ten artists, ten vanishing points, who, through their visions, move the boundaries of what seemed to be defined. Mirage Sud is proud to present their universes. It’s an invitation to lose yourself in this open, shifting space, without a fixed point, but constantly tending forward.
Here, house music becomes dense and sunny, sometimes flirting with a warm, textured trance. It’s progressive, but never static, as if nothing ever stays in place.
In this porous zone where reshaping the past and surfing on codes coexist with the way of breaking free from them. Maybe, in the end, everyone is just trying to move beyond their own limit.
And for this compilation, the limit moves. Space and time become elastic. Welcome to Dimensions Variables Vol. 1.

A1  Phasic Reflex [08:10 - 132 BPM]
A2 MS Plenty [05:00 - 132 BPM]
B1 A Realist's Realistic Reality [05:44 - 134 BPM]
B2 A Realist's Realistic Reality (Roza Terenzi's Realism Remix) [07:01 - 112 BPM]

Expert in trippy joints and knee-buckling bounce, OZ-based producer @reptant_the_lizard is back with a vengeance after an array of choice outings on the likes of Salt Mines, Planet Euphorique and Craigie Knowes. No warm-up lap needed, 'Phasic Reflex' may start as a tycho-esque daydream, what's bred in the bone comes out in the flesh. A pure adrenaline rush of vogue-ing 303, hi-voltage electro and intricate drum programming, this one has dancefloor ripper written all over it.

Keeping the tension up to hazardous levels, 'MS Plenty' zones out to a Detroit-style elixir of arpeggiated seesaws and pong-indebted, body-jacking pep. As its title suggests - or not, the B-side opener 'A Realist's Realistic Reality' clearly lies closer to a cyphered Dick-ian parallel world full of binary bleepin' and swirlin', post-kosmische infused riffs and tentacular Arpanet-style modularity, which @roza-terenzi alters into a lo-pressure dub expedition - better tasted at sunrise, feet buried deep in the sand and your hazy mind draped in the cosy folds of a cheerful seaside sloth with friends.
