As we mark the milestone of POLAAR's 10th anniversary, we are thrilled to introduce a brand new compilation that defines our sonic territories and encapsulates the essence of our exploration in sound.
Driven by the desire of independance and passion for bass-driven rhythms and experimental sounds, Flore and his mate Marc decided to start POLAAR 10 years ago, with the ambition of shaping their unique Bass music sound, far from the code initiated by the UK club scene. Since then, we've been at the forefront of a musical revolution, championing diverse artists from all over the globe and pushing the limits of genre conventions.
Territoire / definition : Expanse of land, more or less clearly delimited, which generally presents a certain unity, a particular character.
Territoires Vol3 is a compilation in which we ask to our artists to remix a tune taken from our back catalog. It is a way to pay homage to this still relevant past releases and create a bridge between our past and present. A way to showcase the depth and diversity of our own vision, without rut of styles or BPM.

4 Only Now X Flore Morphers (Prettybwoy Remix)

NAGA returns for its second offering: Immortal Mirth by Seattle-based multidisciplinary artist enereph. The 5 original works on the release were formed out of her deep contemplation of concepts ranging from Chinese cultural symbology to physical materials and the weight of navigating the human world we’ve found ourselves in.

She brings these themes into the sonic realm by weaving together influences of ambient music, Chicago footwork, the UK hardcore continuum and beyond - never failing to place her own unique imprint on each piece. enereph’s talent for orchestrating a plethora of machines is on full display, with a number of tracks birthed out of her astounding live PA sets.

The curtains open with the escalating tension of “Talisman”, a twisting soundscape of glass, metal & otherworldly sound design permeated by guttural bass drones. A mesmerizing prelude for things to come.

“Carved Nephrite” moves into faster territory, building energy with clubby kicks, cinematic bass stabs and an ear-catching arp. enereph’s knack for arrangement manifests as the track deconstructs itself midway and rebuilds into a cavernous apex.

“Cold Family” keeps the pace up with a mechanistic take on the footwork and jungle sound. The track quickly morphs through a staggering onrush of breaks, bleeps and alien sound design suited to hypnotize dancefloors at peak hours.

The fourth track moves into more atmospheric territory with splintered drums and swells of sub bass wrapped in bending chords. “Insolubility” evokes visions of a fogged-out 90s warehouse rave, dripping in futurism despite its nods to the past.

The last original track in the EP is a weightless ambient piece entitled “Numbers Fall From Stars”. Echoic synth plucks take the foreground & unfold a story through subtle moments of harmony and dissonance.

Rounding things off is a remarkable remix of “Cold Family” by Looting, a seasoned producer of shapeshifting club & ambient music and a core member of the vibrant underground community in the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ territories of BC.
