"What makes this a strong release is its maximalist use of electronics, every spare second crammed to bursting with ascendent sci-fi sounds, analog synth ambience, and 80's R&B percussion. The mix's found classic sounds so loved by future funk artists and fans alike are almost indiscernible from the original arrangements, blending the past and future seamlessly non-stop for a whole hour. There is literally something here for every fan of net-based retro electronic music: witchy pitch-shifted vocals, deliberately peaking 16-bit samples, and smeared glitch-hop time signatures. "
-TSQ Dance / INFINITY VOL.1 Review

"Album highlight “Breathe,” a propulsive pop track that imbues a colorful new age mystique, glides through imaginative canyon floors and careens over waves of exotic ocean water. “Breathe” starts small and manages to stack layer upon layer of beautiful synth and synthetic percussion until an effortless liftoff is reached."
- Portals / "Breathe" Review

...........................................................................

"Navigateur’s rework first builds up a hushed intensity that recalls New Age pioneers Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream, then erupts into a smoldering cosmic R&B jam with a cathartic rolling bassline finale. Space age synths and glitchy breaks abound in this inspired reimagining of an already great track."
- Discobelle / "Mirror Kisses - Runaways (Navigateur Remix)" Review

Formalogic Records is an experimental electronic label in the Southeast with a retrofuturist tinge.

Stella Tran - writing an FAQ on making the perfect mixtape.

Led by singer/songwriter Julia Kwamya, “Julia Kwamya” aka Germans started as a bedroom pop project. Kwamya established herself writing “Wham B-Sides”  with 2013’s “Cruel” produced by Kurt Feldman (Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Ice Choir) and “Wonderhow” produced by Josh Ascalon (Hooray for Earth, Neon Indian) and mixed by Kurt Feldman. In 2017, Kwamya toured internationally with Swedish cult pop band, The Radio Dept. Tragically life took a turn for the worst for the artist in January 2019 when she became paralyzed after a car incident. Regardless of her physical shortcomings, (a paralyzed right arm and learning to walk again), she persisted and released the project she had started with the help and guidance of producer/engineer Miles Robinson (Chairlift, MGMT, TV on the Radio) and producer/master mixing engineer Chris Coady (YYY’s, Hooray for Earth, Future Island) in April 2021.Her masterful debut EP “Feel Good About Feeling Bad” is a gem to be shared with the world.
