Matzak - Basejump (Demo Extract)

Synergies come when great minds think alike. Rob Hes and Raphael Mader join forces for another worthy addition to the Pursuit catalog.

Melancholic, enthralling and spellbinding are few ways to describe this EP that calls out to all the parts of the sonic spectrum.

After their EP on Fur Coat's Oddity we have a guest appearance from Paris natives Esoteric Circle. They take the original Bloodlines and craft it into something truly unique. Mesmerizing arps filled with white noise grit.

This EP could easily be the basis of a minimix. Enjoy.

Fur Coat’s Oddity label starts 2021 with a fresh edition of the acclaimed various artists “Odd Echoes Vol.4”. This instalment showcases some artists that are already known to the label, as well as many new additions to the family.

Fur Coat’s commitment to their label over the last few years has seen the imprint amass a dedicated following and an ever growing list of respected and lauded releases. Utilising their Various Artists compilations, the duo have unearthed some extremely exciting talent in this world and given emerging artists a platform to exhibit their craft.

Diving into the package we are greeted with the melodic and emotional sounds that Oddity has their recognisable stamp. Its clear though that each artist involved has developed their own signature sound and presents something unique to the VA. The first half is formed of well crafted tracks which ease us into the sound. Tracks the build and develop over time and help to kick start out musical exploration.

In true Oddity style the second half of the package leans towards darker and more driving pieces. Casting the listeners mind to the dancefloors which the tracks were meant to be played on. Its a VA formed of 21 original tracks mostly from first timers on the label, that all together solidify the identity of the series and sound of Oddity.

HeÎk - Corvus (Original Mix)

'After his first EP on Infinite Depth in 2019 and his remix on ID021, Rowdy is back with his second EP. Throughout the year he has been developing his characteristic sound more and more. The result of his hard work is the 'Misconception EP', including four originals and a remix by the label's Greek friends Symmetric & Future of Matter.

The first track is called 'Concepted Evolution'. The abstract synthwork as well as the firmly constructed kick and sharp percussion are typical for Rowdy's sound. During the track these synths are slowly evolving, directed by mysterious ghost pads, which are guiding you through this evolution. 

In 'Lucid Field' the pounding kick is even more present, but still very well balanced. Around this kick a hypnotizing atmosphere is built. This atmosphere will relocate your mind to a dark, but at the same time lucid place and keeps you in this dreamy state of mind till the end of the track.

Symmetric & Future of Matter took some of the captivating background elements of 'Lucid Field' and gave their remix a more organic feeling, which is characteristic for their tracks. Everything comes together at one point, forming a very intriguing moment where the acid and main lead are going over their peak, but stay into line.

The third track, 'Elegance of Misbehaviour', is the most raw track of the EP. The heavy lower part as well as the hovering raw percs are representing the concept of misbehaviour. On the other hand, the synthwork is dreamy and elegant. Rowdy perfectly managed to find the sweet spot in between these contradicting parts, which makes this track unique and powerful.

The final track of this collection is also the title track, which is called 'Misconception'. This one also has that deep feeling, but with a hopeful touch. The combination of the deep lower part, the hopeful feeling and compelling composition, makes this track feel like a warm blanket wrapping around you, while floating into an endless distance.'

With the world locked down, we decided to unlock our vault of hidden gems. Deep and warm tunes to deliver the heat in these cold months. 

Ata Ates kicks things off with Invisible Connection. Intricate call and response melodies, synth stabs and luscious chords are able to push the envelope of the Pursuit sound. 

Our duo Bob Tosh and Be Saint deliver to us Poetica. A jarring melody which keeps skipping and hopping, keeping you guessing where this wordless hymn moves to. 

Subgate & Joey White deliver us Astral, which could accompany a space opera with its melancholic sounds and white noise perc hits. 

Friend of the family 2088 returns once again with Connection, showcasing how he is moving from strength to strength on Pursuit. 

Siva Prayojan closes the VA with We Need Us, an ethnic Mediterranean fueled composition, leaving us longing for when the sun goes down. 

Stay safe out there and enjoy.
