Nadia Khan’s sublime Port Ana EP dropped towards the end of 2020 on the Scissor & Thread imprint. It’s deep, emotional sound palette resonated with the state of the world at the time, and signalled Nadia as an artist exploring new and deeply affecting sonic territories. 
This collection of remixes brings some of those tracks into new realms, conducted by CCL and label boss Francis Harris. 
CCL bring a new rhythmic take to the tracks Rain Again and Conversation - both are augmented and embellished with deep, tripped-out beats perfectly complementing the liquid soundscapes and melodic flourishes of the originals. 
Francis Harris’ take on Conversation goes even deeper, dispensing with almost all drums or percussion until near the end of its 9 minute runtime instead focussing on the interplay of pads and an ebbing and flowing bass line.

Since he started producing music, Berlin-based American sound artist Jake Muir has been obsessed with sampling. His 2018 album "Lady's Mantle" was based on manipulated chunks of vintage Californian surf rock, and its follow-up, 2020's midnight symphony "The Hum Of Your Veiled Voice" was sourced from a wide variety of old records, and inspired by the work of experimental turntablists like Marina Rosenfeld, Janek Schaefer and Philip Jeck.

On "Mana", Muir looks back to a misunderstood musical movement. Around 1995, a group of New York producers and DJs - including DJ Olive, DJ Spooky and Spectre - pioneered a genre-dissolving sound by unifying hip-hop techniques with ideas pulled from dub, jungle, ambient music and industrial noise. Badged "illbient", it was a short-lived genre that felt like a high-minded psychedelic cousin of the UK's trip-hop.

Muir uses illbient as the springboard for "Mana", utilizing a selection of samples to inform his frothy drones and foreboding atmospheres. He ushers the material into 2021 by diverting it through his own contemporary worldview, attempting to recreate the hyperreal fantasy histories of Japanese RPGs (think "Dark Souls" and "Final Fantasy") and nod to sensual, tactile soundscapes of European industrial labels Staalplaat and Soleilmoon. The result is a magickal, sensory journey that's as physical as it is representational.

If the illbient producers were encouraging a burgeoning experimental music landscape to emphasize the tactile feeling of turntablism and sample manipulation, Muir is doing the same with "Mana". Each track heaves and breathes not just with his cultural reference points, but with layered, complicated emotions. We can hear joy, sadness, desire and anguish, obscured by disintegrating noise, hallucinogenic harmonies and sub-aquatic bass. It's electronic music that's rooted not in technology, but in touch.

Its Puzzling

Amicia

When you share a taste for throbbing melodies and club music, you're bound to be an artist who catches the eye of Tour de trance.

Nathan Micay has this madness in his productions that gives a real intensity to everything he touches. 
From AD93 to LuckyMe, from club remix to film music, from label owner to cutting edge selector. It's an exhaustive overview rich in references that he delivers for this 27th vinyl only mix! 

In the same breath, and sharing the same ardour and versatility, but not the same generation, Hyas and his 100% dancefloor-breaking set complete this union in the best way. A mix of incisive break, syncopated notes and uplifting trance.

Kit Seymour - Live from Corsica Studios - October 2019

2Lanes is part of the latest resurgence in Detroit's techno underground whose infamy is built via amorphous live appearances / DJ sets, collaborations with contemporaries like AceMo and John F.M., and a steady, hilarious and blunt presence on Twitter. PGS is proud to present 2lane’s 2nd piece of wax, the AA side "Baby's Born To Fish'' / "Impish Desires'', out 25 September MMXX.

"Impish Desires"
Have you ever felt like you didn't belong at the rave? Felt out of place? Like we are all puppets under the control of the puppet master? Impish Desires addresses feelings many club goers have, but, maybe don't talk about. Sinister and frustrated music, that's ready 2 jak and slaps the subs. Six minutes and 48 seconds of angry, alienated body music. The cherry on top is a flute solo by Ji Hoon to send you deeper into the rabbit hole.
