Synchronizing the legendary compositional palates of Israeli electronic music and the contemporary design philosophies of forward thinking producers, MantisMash has been churning out a steady stream of psybient blends for well over a decade. With 7 major releases dotting the long arc of the project, and a clear appetite for sonic exploration, there’s little ground that he hasn’t covered in his own interpretation. Continuing that same gradual expansion of the MantisMash catalog, the syncretic Blisstorted EP covers a wide territory of fusions and rhythms.

Grounded in the lucid repetition of psydub and its fraternal siblings, Blisstorted brings breaks, neuro, drum and bass, and glitch-hop into a fresh focus, pulling classic arrangement hallmarks from each respective pool. With heavy emphasis on melody-driven songwriting and crystal clear mixing fundamentals, each of the five tracks hit the center mark for taste, novelty, and a consistent dance-floor mentality. Juicy mid-range synthesis meets crisp soprano tones and sharp percussive cuts in a medley that feels both at home in the MantisMash musical rolodex and like newfound territory for the long-time stalwart Producer. Pushing past the contemporary, often one-track paradigm, Blisstorted spares no ground covered in its expedition across style and impact, and should be sitting squarely at the top of your next crate-digging adventure.

Tribone joins Gravitas Recordings on May 30th with a dark psychedelic bass EP that shook us to the bone. This EP and Tribone’s production combines tribal elements with gritty bass grooves, uses organic percussions to accompany driven synthy melodies and maintains the dark and kicking stompi rhythms of his approach to psychedelic bass music. It still leaves room for natural sounds and other organic textures that inspire his music and sound design. From big drums to vocals and the animal world, this flawlessly brings together all kinds of atmospheres and foley for a unique style of bass music.

An Inch of Silence opens up the EP with this surreal tribal rhythms and forest soundscape, transporting the listener into a dark jungle. This long epic build peaks and drops into a heavy bass driven tribal groove that follows the same drums teased throughout the long build, accompanied by stabby synths and enchanting flute rhythms. Roar builds upon this previous energy, bringing in actual animal roars and getting straight to business with heavy wubs and glitchy sound design building around the roars and staying true to the song’s name. This is a stand-out track and is the only single off the EP May 23rd. Aniraco slows down the energy in what feels like a perfect call and response, opening up with beautiful flute and tribal elements. A perfect flow jam, it builds into heavier bass and sound design but focuses more on the drum rhythms and not overwhelming with heavy sound. Losing Touch builds another beautiful forest soundscape with birds chirping that slowly builds into a drop of thumping bass and psychedelic foley and sound effects. The drop feels almost like a ceremony and brings in vocal chants and more signature sounds to close out the EP in a beautiful way. It leaves you wanting to hear more from this talented artist and is a full journey through his sound.

Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen finally release their unique Nordic electronic sounds in album size.

Pre-order the CD/2LP/DL: http://www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP062

After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2009, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

After spending years in digital Limbo, wandering into the deepest corners of my hard drive, these tunes from the early days of my electronic music journey resurfaced and decided that I should give them a make fresh coat of paint with updated mastering.

Be aware, these tracks have seen the light of day only on very few occasions and haven't encountered a lot of human ears, they're a little shy but they won't bite I promise. Get a nice sound system / headset for them to express their full potential, sit back and dive into my past with fresh ears.

Enjoy, and as always, support would be highly appreciated ;)

Aeon Bahamut (Nibana Remix, Violins By Kendra Breen)

The next preview of my new album is out today. It is repetition, that seemingly boring thing which gives us all the magic of music, with its repeats inside repeats.

The track was written for a video chapter of the new AV show story "Yearning for the Infinite". The visualisation shows our cities as duplicated animated structures stretching off into the infinite distance (which I'll post very soon), and tells the story of our endless societal growth, with the music telling the same story by what means it can. Perhaps you'll find it a maddening listen, I hope not. For me there's always been something special about musical simplicity, like there's nowhere to hide, and if there's only two chords, they better be good ones. Also the track is for escaping the 5 second socials attention span thing, it needs a few minutes to work, ideally eyes closed headphones on, if you can spare me the time I promise it will be worth it!
