B1: R.O.E. - Cyber Love

Up next, Marginal Returns is happy to finally unveil Gwenan’s debut EP. Already familiar to many via her DJ sets at various notable events over the past years - from festival main-stage techno to backroom boutique ambient - 2023 finally raises the curtain on Gwenan’s studio output. 
 
Activation Energy presents an elegant, particular and personable take on rhythmic electronic music, taking in A1’s downtempo, dub shrouded ‘Rhythm Delay’, the sneakily effective plucked lilt of A2 ‘Foundation’, the contemplative, emotive glide of B1 ‘Control Change’ and B2 ‘Attention Movement’s brooding syncopation.

Mixed by Ismael Zouaoui

RERV007 Ewan Jansen – Ciclo Mental EP

After 6 years, label boss Ewan Jansen circles back to Red Ember’s main with a new EP. 
A concept journey equally for the mind and the dancefloor that strays from his house roots with themes of mysticism pushing wider rhythm palettes and creative synthesis.

The opener ‘Solanoid’ marches over the horizon; a solid progression of sun-scorched chords, goaded by some distinctive chanting synths and driving bass.
‘Caravania’ answers as a stomping IDM-esque fable, joined by bubbling rhythms on the ground and a central writhing serpentine synth guided from high above by voices unknown.   
The flip side quickly de-camps from the physical, with the organic ‘Mistik’ seeing elements of rave and tribal electronica driven by tuned kicks, sub-bass and resonant rhythms.
Lastly, a stoic tome of stone and water is left with ‘Gecko’ – a skittish chunky groove, with isolated melancholic tones that find harmony in the end.

Artist: Ewan Jansen

We’re 21 poddys deep and what better way to mark the occasion than with a mixture of downtempo and garage goodness?⁣

Introducing Lewy, a man on a mission to put South Wales back on the map; and he’s doing a damn good job at it too with his beloved @famjamparty. Hosting the likes of @laurineslowlife & @cecilioslowlife , @truly___madly and a quickly approaching open-air rave with @ghostberlin lends you a not-so-subtle hint towards Famjams calling in the Welsh capital 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
⁣
Lewy is a serious digger and he’s pieced together a soundtrack befitting the wonkiest and most debauched of after-hours. So pull up and lock in, this one’s a trip 👽
