Oxford, United Kingdom, February 2021 ​- Moving Still’s EP of  original tracks  seeks to hark back to the warmth and hospitality lost in  the midst of lockdowns while expanding his sonic palette rooted in his  Saudi/Irish heritage. Drawing its name from a form of welcome typical in  the Arabian peninsula, the record presents itself as a musical  invitation (Tafadal) into the Madjliss – the central hosting room of an  Arabian household. In isolation, Moving Still looks forward to inviting  people to come to the dance floor once again, inspiring prospective  guests with the warmth of the Arabic hosting tradition.

Taking its sonic roots from the Saudi-African dance tradition of the Mizmar, Moving Still blends the acid basslines his Dubliner mother would bring back to Saudi with traditional percussive patterns of his hometown  to electrifying effect. Sporting an arsenal that includes a Juno 107 and  a Roland JX3, Moving Still blends the modern acid feel with traditional arabic percussion to create a unique rhythmic palette.

A1 Batata charmer opens the proceedings with a cheeky nod to the dual Irish/Arabian roots of the project followed by Moroccan Mint Tea - a collaboration with Dublin stalwart Minos - providing a darker, deeper  and harder tone to the rest of the release. Shatta, named after a favourite hot sauce of the region incorporates elements of  Bahraini/Qatari Khaliji music with some dark, swirling vocals.  Finally, closing number Khalas Habibi provides no-nonsense pulsating  acid Rhythms that are undercut by a heavily percussive baseline, rendering it a suitable send off to the EP in typical Moving Still style.

The problem is not that the Singularity is simply humanity's departure from the forefront, but that it contradicts our deepest concepts of being. And the world of post-Singularity responds to a broader tradition of change and cooperation, which began, perhaps even before biological life. 
French label Nocta Numerica releases "Singularity" EP by Italian artist Gianluca Bertasi aka Teslasonic, consisting of 6 space inspired trax.

Harrion is up next on Argent Sale with his debut release featuring two synth-led cuts entitled ‘WGS84/Jungletaine’. Mysterious and enigmatic, Harrion has kept himself busy during the lockdown period. He is one of those artists that welcomed the idea of being stuck at home for two months and saw it as a true blessing. Working tirelessly from the home studio during a period of creative inspiration, Harrion conjures up these two melancholic tracks on French label Argent Sale to remind us of sweaty dancefloors, loud conversations and the smell of sweat mixed with lager. ‘WGS84’ kicks off the release with middle-eastern styled guitar plucks, pulsing bass rolls and breaks-tinged organic percussion in this captivating, intriguing cut before ‘Jungletaine’ offers up a peak-time club track featuring wavering synths alluring you from the start, uplifting melodic strokes and vibrant melodies that flow gracefully throughout.
