SOLACE SPACE 001 ✼ BULL HORRIS (@user-586040792)

Nostalgia tinged melodies, grooved-out bouncey basslines and uplifting vocals are just a few key elements that can be found when you come upon a dancefloor commanded by our first guest.

Bull Horris steps up for mix número uno with 66 minutes of pure tripped out euphoria. Link in bio.

“This mix has a load of recent releases out by artists and labels that have really been exciting me the last while, like Step Ball & Chain, Axces, Maara and Peaches to name a few. Mixed in with a few old school and other tracks close to my heart (Small Bear's 'Trance Analysis'), there's more styles of dance music in there than I'm usually comfortable with having together but they all seemed necessary. There's anything from trancey-happy house moments to the harder techno peak time ones, mainly though I'm hoping that the thing about each track that made me obsess over them came through for your ears. Jumping up the BPMs like that always excites me so I hope it does for those listening too.”

SOLACE SPACE 001 ✼ BULL HORRIS

Ruffien - Scenic Route EP 

‘Scenic Route’ is the leading single from Ruffien’s upcoming debut
album – To Win in Silence. It blends the sultry with the psychedelic -
consisting of rolling, tribal percussion and a constant whirling, dub-like
atmosphere throughout.
The single’s remixes are courtesy of New York resident Cofaxx (Nous
Disques, Atlantic Rhythms) who approaches the remix with a smooth &
warm touch, and North Carolina’s very own sonic wizard Kwala
(HLF/PIN, Project Mooncircle) – who flips the original track on its head
and effortlessly delivers something hectic & unpredictable.
Also featured is a remix by Orlando Voorn that picks up slowly, then accelerates and gets your groove on. All the while, the peaceful backing melody counters the intense rhythm and turns this version into an absolute ear-pleaser.

PRE ORDER

Ruffien - Scenic Route EP (Deeptrax Records - DPTX-028)

Pollinate Records founder Dashiell offers his first LP "This Colourful World" to the label. 

The album was recorded at his home studio in Coburg, Melbourne and features field recordings of the surrounding area. The process began at the beginning of 2020. Originally intended as an ambient album, the project morphed over the course of two years, adding and subtracting rhythms and varying tempos until coming to its conclusion, a sonic rendition of an uncertain future, equally as optimistic as it is cynical.

The 6th contribution to the Voyage series is gifted to us by the mesmerizing Monoke; or as we are so blessed to know her as, Ellie Gillan. 

A pure and spiritual being; whose essence is communicated through their immense track selection and ability to curate. 'Zion' embarks on a journey led by the drum, synthesizing a ritualistic ceremony with a trajectory towards celebration.

A deeply moving story, enriched with an empirical perspective. Ellie communicates this story via the vehicle of fantasy, creating an enthralling new environment on Plantera; the cave of Zion. 

Welcome to Plantera, Ellie!
___

"I had heard whispers of a surreal existence of Zion on Plantera. A place where people are synced with the ritualistic nature of the drum. Recreating ceremonies that our ancestors would draw people together with. Dancing with their spirits and the impenetrable bind between the community. 

Carelessly, a lonely path was one I had taken these last few years, but something sparked within me that it was time to find my people. 

I kept this glimmer of hope in my mind as I wander aimlessly amongst the sand and sun for days. There are no nights on this side of Plantera. 

A mound slowly appears in the distance. As I near closer it begins to block the sun, giving me relief from the piercing light. As my eyes adjust, I edge forward and feel a cool sharp sensation.

A sheer glisten catches my eye and dances into the distance. She feels familiar. I aimlessly follow her through the depths of these shallow rock caves. Feeling this light had given me a hope for something. 

I halt and see if my eyes can adjust to what lies ahead. She notices the halt and glides towards me, floating on the cold misty air. I reach to touch her, to see if she was real or if my imagination had taken over my vision, and she whisked herself away. 

I feel the warmth of her trail - a spirit of Plantera. An auburn shade begins to climb the wall of rock surrounding me. Harmonies play with my eardrums and my heart starts to open with relief, a sign of life. Yet, so much more was ahead than I ever could have imagined. 

As she disappears through the cave walls above, I allow the light and sounds to guide me. A warm glaze reveals a deep opening at the foot of the cave. I see hazily through the veil; fire, surrounded by other beings. Beings like me. 

Music beats from the heart of the fire, her flames change from white to orange. Embodiment; it was as if the rhythm of flame controlled each beat. Never had I witnessed such conscious movement before.  

The whispers of Zion were true. 

As I try to enter through the veil, a resistance holds me back. The veil starts to solidify and won’t allow me through. Heads begin to turn towards me, making their way to where I stood. I stay firmly put, unsure as to what they were about to do. 

Hands permeate the veil, beckoning me to take hold. After a few moments of hesitation; I remember how after such solitude, I found trust. 

I reach forward and tender, soft hands slowly pull me forward. Kind and loving faces look upon me as if we were lost friends aiming to
 find our way back to each other. But now we had found home. We all smile and walk towards the fire together, holding onto one another in a warm embrace. 

I thought about the spirit, and whether she had brought us all here one by one, knowing that this is where our people were. Bringing us back to Zion, a place where you find your community after being lost for so long. We all join together in dance and celebration, being led by the beat of the drum. 

I had heard the whispers of a surreal existence of Zion on Plantera. I now know how much more this was than the tales told, as no-one can understand a feeling until they have felt it. A gift that your heart can give to you and others. And when it is shared, it grows amongst people and can save you more than you think." - @monokedj
