Thought-Forms returns with 4 more timeless grooves.He is very quickly carving a name for himself as a master of the classic atmospheric sounds. This EP has all the qualities of the seminal 90's sounds but with a distinct nod to the future. Velvet is as smooth an opener as it sounds as gentle beats and melodics serenade each other before X3 unleashes an array of energetic beats that are complimented by jazz-soaked tones. Astral Groove is exactly what it says it is, a delicious space-age collage of future funk, cosmic synths with an infectious rhythm. The EP ends with Spectral Funk that continues the future funk vibe with more blissful pads, breakbeats and unearthly melodics.

Codename: RCRDS continue a new trilogy of Various Artist releases with Distant Memories EP, which sees the label bring together a selection of the finest talents in the Atmospheric DnB scene.

The EP opens with label newcomer Microcosm who brings us ‘Journey Of A Thousand Miles’ a beautiful driving atmospheric jungle roller, full of warped bass and lush strings and pads.

Another label debutant, fast-rising TRC2, moves things into a darker direction with ‘There Is a Flame’, an ominous techy roller built for the dancefloor and the head with its intricately programmed breaks and distorted bass tones.

Things continue with Codename favourite NonRev delivering ‘As We Are’, where ominous siren-esque tones meet snappy rolling breaks and his trademark lush production.  This prolific producer continues to be one to watch.

The EP closes with a typically gorgeous roller from the inimitable Okee, interspersing catchy vocals with fresh strings and gorgeous keys and synth tones, to close this second part of the ‘Distant’ series on a high.

Modular II continue their epic year with an LP of exciting diverse Drum and Bass. With a thousand ideas running through their minds they seem to switch from one gear to the next effortlessly. From the haunting melodics of the opener 'Book of the Dead', and the atmospheric techno-tinged 'Echo's in Bass, all the way to the closing etherealness of the title track 'United Tribes', this is an LP that never sits on its laurels as it twists and turns like a Hollywood Thriller with its deep immersive atmospheres and diverse break work.

The prolific Perspective:R returns with 4 more atmospheric cuts that are full of nostalgic touches. The title track begins proceedings as 'Rays of R' envelopes the listener with otherworldy melodics and infectious drum work. The beauty continues with Supersonic Travelling; a relaxed cerebral journey complete with drifting space-age pads and punchy drums. Next up,  Light and Dark rolls along serenely with dynamic breaks, layers of pads and melodic twinkles before Through the Veins ends the EP, taking the listener right back to the 90's with its stuttering breaks and expressive pads.

Trident expertly channels the early 90’s classic era with ‘Detonator EP’, a truly epic release which brings the finest Jungle Techno energy of the genres peak and smashes it well and truly into 2023, taking you between the bright lights of the main rooms and deep into darkened sweatbox corners of the most labyrinthine underground rave.

The EP opens with the Jungle Techno monster ‘Detonator’, which guarantees dancefloor explosions like a long-lost Easygroove classic, a techno dread which stomps across all competition with its energetic mix of ominous synths and squelchy acid lines.  

The amen-led ‘Far-Away Dreams (VIP)’, builds on the hypnotic bell tones of the original track, and toughens things up to move into a heads-down dancefloor direction.

‘XTC’ showcases Trident’s burgeoning skills and creativity, with his trademark dub techno influences overlapping beautifully with euphoric rave moments for an energetic yet introspective workout.

The EP closes with ‘Detonator (Microcosm Remix), which sees the Codename: newcomer turn the original on its head with a rolling hardcore junglist remix which complements the original perfectly, and primes it for destruction in more break oriented dancefloors.

The brand new talents of Perspective:R and Sub Motion show they have no sign of stopping their musical odysseys by this time joining forces to give Omni fans something quite special. The title track is a delightful collaboration between the 2, as classic breakbeats and seminal atmospheric sounds collide in a whirlwind of beauty. Sub Motion takes control next with the Good Looking-inspired 'Inverse Visions', another homage to the sounds of yesteryear. Perspective'R's 'Don't Go' is a beautiful relaxing journey into a world of pads and strings before Sub Motion returns with the space-faring sounds of Random Movements where tight breaks and celestial melodics spin together majestically. The EP ends with Perspective'R's take on 'Aurora's Motion', where he takes the original sounds and twists them into bewitching new forms to complete this spectacular example of what atmospheric drum and bass is.

The twenty-eighth release from Chilean label Halcxn is led by Chilean DJ and producer Kamila Govorčin, currently based in Croatia. On this occasion, she presents a body of work centered on ambient music: an eight-track album conceived and experienced as a continuous sonic journey from beginning to end. The album stands out for its narrative coherence, giving meaning to each moment through the thoughtful use of synthesizers, breaks, vocals, and silence.

In the artist’s own words:

“After a long night, at dawn, the dew appears — a gentle gift from the sky. In alchemical practices, dew is collected because it is associated with the universal spirit; a substance that can dissolve, transmute, and regenerate. The base of an elixir. This idea inspired me to create Rocío, a full-length album I began working on a year ago to present at an event by Osvaldo Sotomayor, and which I finally completed in Rijeka, Croatia. Over the course of 48 continuous minutes, elements of ambient, breaks, downtempo, acid, and trip hop are combined, creating a sonic journey that is reminiscent, hypnotic, warm, and fluid.”
