We welcome Solaris to Parallax. His music just seems to strike the right balance between atmospheric, light and darkness to make it work for Parallax.

'City Lights' whispers secret untold stories of lonely walks home after a late night out: The anonymity of urban landscapes, your silhouettes' shadows lengthening in the sallow light of the street lamps, wandering over the cold concrete. The mood changes and opens up. You feel you belong to that moment, exactly there in that grim surrounding, alone, when most of the city sleeps. But are you really alone? Out of the nearby trainyard the sound of a rattling spraycan reaches your ear...

A1 - Solaris - City Lights [PARA 012]

'Ambitions' creates tension from the top. Hard to pin-point it features ingredients from the whole spectrum: It has an atmospheric edge, but also includes cool ragga snippets, cowbells and energy raising effects. The tune bubbles along nicely until halfway in. Here Dominic once again proves his skills to find extraordinary samples that lift a tune to other spheres. This time it's drug lord George Jung who ponders '...Throughout my lifetime I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambitions far exceeded my talent.' Then all hell breaks lose and the tune bursts into an unexpected full-on reecebass vs. amen tearout for the second half of the tune. A perfect bridge tune to hit people with an unexpected turn in your dj sets.

PARA014 A2 - Sonar's Ghost - Ambitions

Waves crash against the shores, accompanied by a simple and melancholic xylophone melody. A peaceful atmosphere. A voice from the off asks 'To the future or to the past?' and a lush tune with female vocals and warm tuneful subbass unfolds upon us. Just when we feel all soothed George Orwell corrupts our daydream with a toast from 1949, that now - 73 years later - sadly is still a distant future - or 'A Future Passed'? 

'To a time when thought is free when men are different from one another and do not live alone - to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink - greetings!'

PARA014 A1 - Sonar's Ghost - A Future Passed

'I descend into pitch-black territories - not a single star in sight. It’s so dark
you can’t see a thing. Uncomfortable. A menacing soundscape, a world
beyond life. Transplanted snapshots of a stranger flood my synapses again.
Souvenirs. The reverse dexterity of a dying breed with their shady deals
behind closed curtains. The 'False Policies', lies and corruption that lead society
into mistrusting the ones they chose as representatives. Slowly, creeping in,
the downfall of a foul system. It´s human nature, they are cursed! Best leave
them to their fate on their rotten planet. Build coffins - that’s all you´ll need!'
Replicant N6MAA10816

AEON FOUR - ARTICAL SHOW WEEKEND RUSH GUEST MIX 20.06.22

My name is Dan aka Johnny Clash and I’ve been around for a while and I like and play all kinds of music. This is very much a jungle mix though not quite entirely and I believe it will take you on a journey, which is DJ talk for it’s a mess but I think it just about hangs together.

A big thank you to my good friend the lovely Uncommon Sense who introduced me to a few of the key players in this mix, and in fact was the one who brought Foot Long Records along to hear me play out. So it’s her fault. Shout out to my main northern hangout Stumblefunk ‘le fluff diabolique’ which has been the location, literally and emotionally (can I say spiritually? yeah, let’s say spiritually as well) for many of the shenanigans which have led up to this moment. Hold tight DOA and the Embers scene. Salute the mighty Bam Bam Sound, yes yes. And cheers to Tommy and Dave for getting me in to do this, many thanks.

Foot PrintZ Sessions - 032 - Bronx (Read Description)

Codename: RCRDS welcomes another label newcomer with Berlin's No_Name, who delivers a phenomenally inventive take on Jungle and Hardcore for a memorable first release on the label.

The rolling 'Fully Dysfunctional' opens the EP, switching effortlessly between ravey stabs and intricately edited drumwork before giving way to 'Lowest State Of Consciousness', where footwork jungle comes to the fore with pounding kicks and deep atmospherics. 'A Thousand Ways To Ruin Your Day' does quite the opposite, a rolling stepper full of deep bass and meticulously edited synth interplay, fully designing to screw up faces all over dancefloors. The EP closes with 'One Of Them', where dreamy 80's synths give way to introspective glitched choppage of the highest order.

A truly label stunning debut from an artist we look forward to featuring more of in the future.
