OA302: Esthetic & Reac-Zo - Ethereal Echoes EP

Sonic technicians Esthetic and Reac-Zo return to Onset with a four track journey into liminal realms beyond the veil. The EP pulses with a haunting energy, blending mechanical rhythms with distant atmospheres. Spanning a variety of BPMs from sludgy industrial halftime to driving breaks, each track feels like a plunge into the unknown. Reverb hangs thick in the air, the music breathes with a ghostly presence. Ethereal Echoes is a sonic landscape that feels both vast and intimate, a weighty reflection of space and sound.

Label regulars Sam KDC, Ancestral Voices, Torn and Presha take their scalpels to Mauro's constructions and turn up the intensity, rebuilding them into 4 sinewy exercises in sinister force.

Last Life - Curse - Torn Remix [SMDE49]

Samurai Music returns to the evocative sound world of Ancestral Voices for an album that splits the difference between cinematic sound design and deadly restraint at 170 BPM. Nemeton continues Liam Blackburn's exploration of ancient Celtic mysticism through snaking rhythms and snarling sound design, conjuring a high-definition sonic image of sacred groves and the druids practicing amongst them.  

Blackburn's Ancestral Voices project tracks back to 2015, when he debuted on Samurai Horo with the Night Of Visions album. In stark contrast to his celebrated 140 work as Indigo, this project leaned on the inspiration of pagan spirituality to charge his vivid, advanced production style with a rich and mysterious atmosphere. While he's channelled this approach into a variety of tempos and styles, on his 2016 EP Old Earth Voodoo on Samurai Music he applied the concept to a drum & bass framework, which he returns to on Nemeton with rigorous focus.

Far from a straightforward collection of breakbeat tracks, Blackburn uses negative space and pointillist production to carve out an immersive, tense sound world around the 170 grid. He takes a widescreen approach to percussion, running from pin-prick synthesised one-shots to tumbling, organic drums you'd more readily associate with a Hans Zimmer score. Scene-building is the foremost mission across Nemeton, casting otherworldly forces in sweeps of low-end friction and dramatic melodic blooms amidst tangible real-world field recordings of flora and fauna.  

Casting the mind back some 2000 years is an exercise in imagination as much as research, and Blackburn ably summons dark fantasy as he delves ever deeper into Welsh mythology with a studious zeal and avid fascination. It's that drive that makes Nemeton burst forth and take shape so powerfully, bristling with kinetic energy and a barely-concealed, strangely seductive menace that leaves a lasting impression long after the last snatch of bass has bared its teeth.

Ancestral Voices - Annwn [SMDELP14]

Acid Lab delivers a masterful atmospheric journey that creates an unhurried, expansive soundscape filled with fascinating sonic textures. The production demonstrates remarkable restraint, allowing each carefully placed element to breathe and evolve throughout the composition.

Drawing subtle influences from footwork while establishing its own unique identity, "Lights Down Low" balances intricate percussive patterns with rich ambient layers. The track builds a mesmerizing atmosphere that feels both spacious and detailed, inviting listeners into a world of nuanced sound design.

This release further solidifies @Defrostatica Records' reputation as a forward-thinking Leipzig label continuously exploring the boundaries of electronic music. Acid Lab's contribution perfectly aligns with their commitment to innovative, genre-defying releases that challenge expectations while remaining deeply immersive.
