Quantec - A Mind Altering Drug  // 12" // Analog Response Records

Jessica Diaz - Buhos (Original Mix)

An immersive dive into the Ecuadorian rainforest with deep bass lines, tribal yet groovy percussion, emotional melodies, and hypnotic vocals dedicated to a monkey god in an ancient language. Somewhere between deep and tribal house, this one-of-a-kind style of music will give your body no other choice but to get up and dance.

Jhonny LP, Palau (OFC) - Entwined [Sonnet Speciale]

On their third release of 2016, Frank & Tony streak back onto the scene with one of their most refined efforts yet, ‘Harmonia’. Toms and effervescent drum patterning gets things started nicely on EP opener, “Seranade”. Swirling pads, alongside a driving two-note bass, lay the groundwork before siren-like synths call out as an incorporeal voice beckons, “bring me all of your dreams, you dreamers.” “Hardrian” takes the tempo down, but ramps up the filth, conjuring dark, basement rave vibes with its propelling bass line and cavernous pads. Shuffling hi-hats and billowing synths flitter in and out of focus making this one of the duo’s most hypnotic and psychedelic affairs to date. The title cut takes things out from the sweat box and into open-air, sun-drenched euphoria. Airy pads and a buoyant bass carry the track effortlessly, and the simple, yet incredibly effective, drum patterning further lightens the tone giving everything the feeling of dancing in a cloud. Slowly, siren-like synths call out, entrancing the listener into eyes-closed revery. The EP closes on an even higher note as the duo take on John Beltran’s classic “Gutaris Breeze (6000km to Amsterdam)” from his 1996 album, ‘Ten Days of Blue’. The boys left the original mostly untouched, only bringing forth the track’s softer elements to the forefront and adding a monstrously driving kick next to a serpentine bass line, transforming the track into a peak-time powerhouse.

an_on_bast - The Ballet Began At Eight

After making a memorable debut on Catz ‘n Dogz’ Pets Recordings with 2017’s melodic house roller ‘Grateful’, An On Bast aka Anna Suda is back on her compatriots’ imprint with another distinctive release.

Suda has composed work for modern dance performances, and it’s not unimaginable that ‘The Ballet Began At Eight’ might be used for the same purpose. Its woozy submerged
synths coalesce in a floaty, summery haze, animated with a bobbing beat to create a perfect ambient scene-setter.

‘Life in a Hammock’ is livelier than its title suggests, with jaunty stabs laid over spacey, muddied acid synths. ‘Para’ keeps us on our feet, hips moving to its steady, tribal beat, chant-like African vox and persuasive handclaps, while closing track ‘Sway’ blends elements from the previous three. Stiching calming, flutey synths to Afro-beats, a rippling arp and warm chords in a dazzling, dancefloor-geared finale.
 
It's another varied, deftly executed release from one of Poland’s leading ladies.

We are really happy to present this intriguing mix of souls, two artists of great respect like Noah Pred and Pablo Bolivar, together exceptionally for this special issue in Apparel Music. The Deep gets a classic suit, timeless, using elongated chords to create a spacious environment for the percussion to build atmospherically, the live drums that settle into a kind of “lawn-sound”, with shuddering keyboard stabs and tinkling Rhodes for good measure. Mastered by Lopazz. A new evergreen, do not miss!

Quantec alias Sven Schienhammer grew up in the '80s. Producing and remixing electronic music since 1995 first using hardware tools such as Rolands MC 505 and a 303 with some efx tools.

Now the studio is hardware and software in symbiosis. Using some oldschool synths from the 70's & 80's for the love of the lo-fi feeling of those machines! The sounds are digitized thoughts and emotions.

Personal favourite styles in music include detroit and dubby electronics, deep house, dub, roots reggae, drones, ambient and some experimental stuff. He also releases music as Monoaxial and Sven Schienhammer.
