Sonic Safari continues its mission of global groove exploration with its seventh release, the "Silk Road EP", a brilliant collaboration between Kanaa Knight and rBert.

Teaming up for the first time, the pair deliver a stunning two-tracker that journeys deep into the heart of ancient trade routes, merging history and mysticism through ethno-tinged organic house.

Opening with the title track "Silk Road", the duo create a soundscape steeped in dusty caravan trails and twilight bazaars. Rolling percussion lays the foundation, while hypnotic melodies and intricate string textures weave like merchants through a crowded souk. Ethereal pads, subtle flutes, and distant vocal murmurs echo like stories passed from traveller to traveller, evoking a profound sense of groove and mystery.

On the flip, "Letters From Samarkand" dives even further into introspective territory. Anchored by a minimalist groove and a percussive shuffle, this piece drips with atmosphere. Vocal chants float in and out like forgotten prayers, while airy pads and celestial chords shimmer across the mix.

Enjoy!

Tony Neptune uses his first release to begin the tale of Yuri Gagarin, the cosmonaut lost to us all in 1961. He was the greatest explorer the world has ever known. Four pieces of original music have been composed to accompany the painting on the cover as part of a wider soundtrack to complement the narrative of this remarkable yet troubled man. An insert detailing the story will supplement the narrative of each issue.

On the 12th of April 1961, Yuri Gagarin was launched into orbit for the first and - so they tell us - the last time. Upon returning to Earth, Yuri became a global hero, travelling the world to tell of his adventure.
Secretly, he was plagued by strange hallucinations and a persistent glow around his vision; a cornucopia of colour in a constant corona. In 1964 - following a silent coup by Leonid Brezhnev - Yuri was banned from embarking on further manned missions into space. At first fearing madness, the cosmonaut came to see these apparitions as a signal, an invitation, a welcoming beacon from a distant lighthouse blinking across the cosmic void.

On the 27th of March 1968, aided by trusted friends within the space program, Yuri Gagarin swapped places with another cosmonaut on a secret test flight and was once more blasted into outer space. Knocked unconscious by the extreme velocity of his experimental craft, Yuri awoke a mere 15 minutes later in view not of the rapidly shrinking Earth, but an entirely alien vista; he was elsewhere...

Ears On Earth & Super Utu present Household Choirs: A selection of housebound voices singing together in harmony. From forth the abodes of 11 independent nations come 22 songs spread across two CDs inside a limited edition double jewel case designed by EOE’s Danilo.

The recent disruption of daily life has caused us to reflect and consider what we believe to be meaningful, important and what brings joy to our existence. For the dance community who have had their places of worship shut down indefinitely, a unifying space we can all occupy is a freedom of the mind. In physical confinement, freedom becomes a state of mind; A place to visit when we can’t move our bodies the way we want to. These two CDs symbolise inside and outside dance spaces made inaccessible to us by the pandemic.

So we gathered a choir of households to share their voices.

The compilation features songs from new and emerging talents Anastasia Zems (RUS), Axis Mundi (ESP), Barbara Taipan (AUS), Benoit B (FRA), BF Treatment (ESP), D.Faux (ESP), Emkay (FIN), Gerdhart (GER), Heap (AUT), JAI (ESP), Johnston&Johnston (ESP), Leo James (AUS), Nice Girl (NZL), Prins Emanuel (SWE), RAMZi (CAN), River Yarra (AUS), Rouzbeh (NLD), Tassilo Vanhöefen (GER), Ubahnrider (GER) & Yanik Park (ESP)

Household Choirs - EOE CD [Ears On Earth & Super Utu]

The subconscious cave is not an empty space in the conscious mind,

it is a bubbling space, haunted by questions and mystical activity.

“Natif” (Stalactite - in hebrew) is a seventh tracks EP by Tel-Aviv based DJ and producer MYKI.

Any substance, water drip or murmur reveals a cloak of meaning in the form of a showy echo.

a variety of ancient animals, forbidden imaginary fruits and mysterious passions sneak in at night and look for a place of refuge to rest, to sleep.

The stalactites (Natif) are amorphous juice from the bottom of the mind, they are the seeds of confusion and irrationality and they seep through cracks in the cave and produce chaos and trembling until suddenly, out of a nightmare are born proud crystals of splendor and inspiring beauty.

Distant Worlds returns to the fray for 2021, following the runaway success of last year’s Guidance Release EP from Cignol. Here we see the label reaching the lofty heights of their tenth release with an absolute beauty from Malta-based Sound Synthesis, himself fresh from a mighty fine run of form of late.

Melodic, warm electro with heart tugging melodies and gut punching beats are all present and correct: all but the coldest hearts will be melted by the euphoric chords, attention to detail and keen ear for a melodic hook prevalent throughout this fine release. Energetic yet emotional, Sound Synthesis succeeds here in bringing elements of acidic electro and transcendent soul tinged braindance sensibilities to the pot. 

Lead track, ‘Planet Hope’ is a deeply personal journey with a musical message of positivity wrapped up in the utopian optimism of all the finest electronica. ‘Thinking of You’ continues in the same vein, all beautiful atmospheres and melodic flourishes culminating in a masterful soul-tinged breakdown. 

Flip over for another assault on the emotional jugular with ‘Transmission of Life’ before rounding off with the acid tinged psychedelic hypnotism of ‘Spiral Reverb’. Distant Worlds does it again with a perfect marriage of retro futuristic techno soul, having found the perfect partner to deliver it in Sound Synthesis.
