Often the best music gets made when people get out of their comfort zone and venture into new territory. That is what I felt listening to these tracks from Ukrainian veteran Alexander Pavlenko. He has a long history in drum ‘n bass as Sunchase, and as Na Nich, you might have heard him on Rhythm Büro or Semantica, but this release reveals another side of him that we haven’t heard before.

The Karpati EP kicks off with ‘Manipulation’. A rolling sub and punchy drums propel the track’s momentum forward and make it dancefloor-ready. The sounds on top take inspiration from multiple genres for a track that finds a perfect balance between the deeper sides of both house and techno.

Next up is ‘Still There’, a stripped deep house tune where filtered percussion, pads and vocals alternate each other, flowing in and out of focus.

Title track ‘Karpati’, a hypnotic techno track, takes inspiration from the mountain region in western Ukraine, the melody reflecting a similar beauty as the Carpathian nature. Add Na Nich’s expert sound design on top, and the result is a deep and captivating trip.

‘Morning Habit’ rounds up the EP by slowing things down for a dubbed out house cut. Chords playfully bounce over the beat for a tune suitable for either the early or very late mornings.

"The beauty that arises from music is the connection between people. Oblique’s twelfth EP consists of four friends who have spent many hours together in the studio, booth and kitchen, yet this is the first time they appear on a release together. A friendship cultivated from a shared passion for hypnotic techno, and here, each artist presents his unique take on it."

"All I saw was an infinite maze of bright lights and even brighter shadows, ten thousand cities arrayed in four dimensions.
I had no arms to hang on to and nothing physical in this universe to grasp, but I concentrated on the waveform shades."

"Oblique returns with a highly personal project: 3 tracks from (or with) friends who all helped create/inspire/influence the sound of the label.

Ivano Tetelepta, Roger Gerressen and Ben Buitendijk already had loads of jam sessions when suddenly "Dilated Pupils" happened. It launched a project that consists of spontaneous studio jams in various formats (involving a dozen of befriended artists on multiple EP's, remixes and even an label). Six years later the original track, after which the project was named, will finally see the light of day!

Bas Amro's "Languor" shows that he, besides having an ear for reimagining classics, can also do his own ;)

Cyspe's "Reminisce" more than deserves the full B-side to close the EP off. A stunning 14 minute trip through the depths of what this incredibly talented producer has to offer!"

"Oblique is proud to present it's second Various Artists EP by friends we have met years ago online.

Before we had our first releases, we would upload our music to Soundcloud and these guys were always on my radar to check instantly. Besides inspiring me, their comments and feedback were invaluable to my growth as a producer. 

Fast-forward a few years and everyone has grown in their own way, with multiple releases, labels and parties to emerge. The platforms have changed, but the connection did not, hence the idea to reunite them on wax :)

The EP shows four different takes on hypnotic techno, starting with the driving and slowly morphing "Radiate" from Kaelan, followed by the intense mindbender "The Nomad" from Antonio Vázquez. 
On the flipside we go more atmospheric with Refracted showcasing his expert sound manipulation on "Uku Che". Ending the EP is the subtlely layered and ultra deep "Ditoan" from Alan Backdrop."

"Ben Buitendijk returns to his Rotterdam based label, Oblique Music with three stirring techno cuts entitled 'Alternative Hypothesis'.

After Buitendijk's quintessential 2013 'Promised land' track on Mosaic, his sound's transition into tougher territories, prevalent in his series of releases via Oblique that demonstrate a palette of space-induced modulations. The label continues to create
emotionally driven techno of a deeply layered nature, having also released music by Deniro, Koen Hoets, Emmanuel Top, Refracted, and more.

Kicking off with a journey enveloping 9-minute track, 'Contamination Zone' is delicately filled with synthetic ambience and undulating minimalism. The track's energy gently grows throughout as the bleeped synth line and looping percussion patiently rises in intensity. 'Stardust' follows, continuing to transcend visionary type melodies in symmetry with acutely composed drums.

'Alternative Hypothesis' adopts a left-of-centre drum groove, harmonising authentically with the uplifting, otherworldly swells constant throughout, keeping the force of the track totally balanced."

"Oblique Music is proud to present Polish wonder-duo Private Press. Through their debut EP on Technosoul, they made an immediate impression with their matured taste and signature sound design, subsequently followed by releases on Indigo Aera proving that it wasn't a fluke.

Here we have a diverse, yet coherent four-tracker. Blending inspirations from early 90's Detroit- and dub techno to early 00's UK tech house, the duo manages to offer an EP that respectfully winks at the past, while keeping an eye out to the future."

"Ben Buitendijk returns to his own Oblique Music for the tenth release. A three-tracker firmly rooted in techno, yet each track is showcasing a very different execution of the genre. "Erosion" is an energetic acid workout, whilst "Sketch" is an study of minimalism with freaky FM sounds. Title track "Ouroboros" is inspired on the mythological concept of the snake eating it's own tail, sounding like an infinite loop. "
