The Upload

On his second album Narel goes into spacey ethereal ambient and dub techno, at times fusing the two. There are two progressive house/trance crossover tracks on the album, but overall it is a deep and immersive experience. Narel designed most sounds on the album from scratch and many of the recordings are live, later being integrated into studio arrangements.

‘Tell Them Of Us’ is a slow breaks track that builds with luscious pads overlaid with vocoded vocal samples, subtle melodies and arpeggios.

‘Counter Entertainment’ is the first piece of dub techno on the album, showcasing highly modulated pads, evolving layers and Narel’s trademark dreamy vox samples over old skool breaks loops, a soft kick and a subterranean bass line.

‘Silence Coloured In’ takes us into space ambient territory. Deep reverbed basses rumble under constantly changing layers across the frequency spectrum, propped up by nebulous pads. A brief piano interlude is found in the middle of the soundscape, before the full spectrum comes back and is then disrupted by a complex gated sequence.

‘Mesmeresis’ was the first track recorded for the album and really has set the tone for the whole piece. An ambient track carried by sweeping pads, strange plucked melodies, a short vocal sample and deep brooding bass pads.

‘Cortex Vortex Part 1’ is a very deep and dark ambient piece made by looping pads and large reverb tails, found sounds and multiple layers of sound effects from an Access Virus B synthesizer.

‘Cortex Vortex Part 2’ takes elements of part 1 and introduces additional syncopated riffs to produce an elegant 4/4 dub techno track.

‘Alonefield’ is an achingly beautiful drifting ambient piece and Narel’s personal favourite from the album. Pad and reverb tail looping was used again on this piece to create a multi layered atmosphere underpinned by a slowly sweeping low pass filter on a bass pad. Several vocal samples are introduced before the most delicate plucked melody slowly blends into the mix before the whole track gently falls away. ‘Alonefield’ was inspired by the untitled secret 13th track on Queen’s 1995 album ‘Made In Heaven’, which is a beautiful ambient tribute to Freddie Mercury.

‘Everstone’ is a melodic progressive house/progressive trance track with a driving bass line, layered pads and an outstanding processed vocal sample centred around an ‘Airdrawndagger’ style lead riff.

‘There’s The Walrus’ is the partner track to ‘Everstone’, using a slightly funky bass sequence and complex gated layers and a subtle arpeggio in the build up. The breakdown introduces a simple supersaw riff which carries the track along beautifully.

‘Vapour Moods’ completes the album. It is a dub techno track similar in sound design to ‘Counter Entertainment’ but descends into a driving acid riff underpinned by highly modulated pads and effects.

Late Night Grooves #101

Stelios Vassiloudis - Rust (F-Act Remix)

We're constantly looking for new artists for Keep On Techno so when JOOF's very own Façade dropped a two-track Techno EP on our laps you can be pretty sure we pulled his arm off for it.

The lead track is Toys That Make Noise a dark-edged, melodic and atmospheric Techno track that builds in layers to totally mess with your mind.

On remix duties, we have Last 2 Standing. A new alias for a regular paring on KOT (Chris Coles & Latex Zebra) who deliver a moody, Progressive Techno version.

The second track is Playing With Forks, as the name might suggest is a rave inspired beast with breaks and Old Skool sounds aplenty that still feels thoroughly modern.

We welcome back Zeena Christy to the label with has delivered a beast of a remix, upping the BPMs and giving a darker more sinister edge to the original.

A stunning EP this, with versions to suit all kinds of sets.
We look forward to your support.

More fresh names are joining our ever growing  PHW Elements label as we this week see Tel Aviv, Israel native SpringHill team up with us on the label. It’s a producer we have been following for a while and been eager to start working with. With releases through Dynamica and ICONYC to mention some, he’s building his name and moniker and we are of course thrilled to be able to push him as well. “Rush” is a full on packed progressive journey that blends with a lot of techno-ish elements as well. It got all the good stuff inside as this is pace, energy and all the energetic atmosphere that is our rush when it comes to music. 

First out on remix is a welcome return to the label as Austrian duo behind the fantastic moniker of Der Effekt joins back on our PHW Elements imprint. With their energetic and driving progressive style they manage to build a true progressive stormer through their interpretation. It’s a superb story being told and we are as happy as ever to see them join back on the label. Awesome as always! 

For the second remake we feel utterly happy and honoured to bring on an artist that we have had on our radar for a long time. Hailing from Greece, we see the first steps on the label from Keistep. For those of you being into the melodic house & techno scene might have him on your radar already as he's been delivering some fantastic material during the past years. As said, we are delighted to see Keistep team up with us and we do think we have a little diamond for you all through this rework. It’s a great blend between progressive and melodic house & techno, bringing on a superb atmosphere as the journey goes on. In love is a fair statement from us on this one, beautiful stuff and a release that we are truly proud of binging on for you all!
