Following three noteworthy appearances on compilations by On Board Music, Huinali Recordings, and Lost in Translation, New York-based duo Moon Patrol introduces their first long-player, “Mountain House Music.”

Moon Patrol consists of Irina Kotik and Gilles Wasserman, mainly known as co-founders of deep techno and ambient platform Delayed. Irina, a classically trained musician, contributed the melodic parts, and Gilles has been leading the rhythm section of the productions - an excellent symbiosis with meaningful output. A symbiosis whose soundscapes are an ode to the beauty of transitionary states and reflective exploration. “Surface Tension” and “Raflo Ren” grasp the fresh and misty air, with mountains slowly appearing through the morning fog, accompanied by wooden percussive beats. Likewise, the title track, “Mountain House Music” seems to be devoted to the passage from a dreamy, meditative state into an active physical space.
Throughout the ten tracks, we can hear the couple’s harmonious relationship with nature - may it be Prospect Park as their Brooklyn refuge or mountain retreats in upstate NY and Vermont - both spaces and the moods induced by them make an appearance through carefully selected and arranged field recordings (“Inparké” and “Beautiful Brook”). Moon Patrol, though having produced together since 2017 already, took their time to craft their own way of musically syncing and connecting with like-minded artists, such as Dutch producer Love Over Entropy, who took care of mixing the album.

Friends play a significant role in Moon Patrol’s symbiotic ecosystem and that’s why close friend Aspetuck contributed a breezy - grooving remix of “Wevok” - closing the LP with an uplifting, life-affirming note that teases to dance.
“Mountain House Music” was produced in the spring of 2022 while processing a loss in the family. It hence addresses symbiotic relationships and how our interdepence with nature and friends serves both as inspiration and refuge. Though naming their primary inspirations as Boards of Canada, Lord Of The Isles, Ripperton, and Khotin, Moon Patrol found their own very reflective, niche sound in the atmospheric down-tempo realms. A sound that is distinctively organic, immersed in exhilarating exploration, and full of airy breaks.

An artist's music production journey is like a carefully crafted release. It's thrilling when they share a body of work that reflects their growth over time. A resounding truth rings true: "There's no time like the present."
Imagine four years condensed into a music release—a melodic story of Gilles' transformation as a producer. His tracks blend deep, quirky, offbeat house with intricate sounds, creating an enticing experience.

As producers refine their skills, we evolve through our encounters with the world. While the past teaches us, and the future holds promise, it's in the present that we shape our destiny. "No Time Like The Present" captures the essence of seizing opportunities now. It encourages exploring passions, embracing quirks, and nurturing desires. Here, we find the courage to challenge ourselves, break free from conformity, and express our unique identities.

Gilles' EP showcases his development and highlights the ever-changing nature of creativity. Each track represents a distinct phase, displaying his evolving style.
And infusing Map.ache's enchanting style with the original's signature bass line creates a captivating fusion that showcases the artist's magic.

Gilles Wasserman's "No Time Like The Present" EP celebrates patience, dedication, and artistic vision. It reminds us that time is insignificant when creating music we love.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Moon Patrol - Kelp Forest [PV016]

'Beams of Light' is a collection of ambient and modern classical tracks that addresses in equal measure the perceptual and the corporeal: these are sounds that sink into the body, exhibiting a tactility that pushes, pulls, bends and yields with fearsome vibrancy. It's a rich interdependence that lets the tracks breathe, grow and mutate with uncanny organicism.
Finding moments of melody amongst the wide landscape of abstract sounds and samples is the only glimpse of reality you'll find down here.

Curated by Laura BCR, Ina Kacz, and Simone Gatto

Ahead of our club night at The Carpet Shop in London next Friday (18 August), we present a 100% vinyl mix by DJ Antepop for The MUSAR Show, a two hour journey through the deep sounds of house, dub techno, ambient and widescreen electronics. A masterclass on how to build a set from the founder of Inverted Audio.

If Jungle and Drum & Bass were his first love, Tom Durston aka Antepop went on to explore a much more diverse spectrum of electronic music, drawing in the far-reaching scope of Inverted Audio's coverage, allowing him to reinvent himself time after time. 

Antepop's holds a monthly residency on Netil Radio, and had previous gigs in Farr Festival, Above Below Festival, Berlin's Zur Klappe, HÖR, Renate, Barcelona's LAUT, London's Cafe OTO, Brilliant Corners to name a few...
