- Future Past
- Circles & Dots (Soultec Remix)

Official Release Date 28/06/13 (Digital Worldwide)

Next up on the roster comes Parhelia, a music producer from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. He take on atmospheric Drum & Bass is true to its roots with blistering bass lines and rolling drums. Now he has teamed up with Rotation UK to bring us his new EP: Circles And Dots.
We begin with the title track: Circles And Dots. Swirling pads and melodic arpeggios artfully colour this track. Crunchy & punchy drum patterns keep the ball rolling while the jazz infused piano subtly echoes into this mix. The title track is a fantastic blend of ethereal atmospherics and that well know drum line we've come to love.
'Long Trip Into The Rain' is the second track on the EP. The track follows a similar premise to the 1st, with bright flowing pads and wonderfully delayed sound-scapes. Occasional drum fills and bongo hits keep the listener intrigued, both produced perfectly. A fitting track for a trip into the rain.
The 3rd track from the Circles & Dots EP is 'Future Past'. Introducing a more minimalist production Parhelia rounds the EP off very well with this progressive song. Arpeggios, making an appearance again, add to the progressive nature of the track making this the perfect liquid roller.
Circles & Dots (Soultec remix) is the final track on the EP. Bringing a fresh new take on Parhelia's title track, Soultec infuses a summery vibe with fluid drum lines and rhythmic percussion. Solid production values and rippling bass lines make this the perfect addition to a lounge in the sun. Soultec's remix brings a luscious end to a fantastic EP.

I got into drum n bass from the start of the jungle era in 94.After listenin to tape packs and pirate radio for a couple of years my life was changed forever!
  I started djing in 96 and never looked back.I started out at various local parties and private functions for a few years which i really enjoyed.
  In 2001 I started working for a promoter in warwickshire and played at many venues around lemington,banbury and stratford where i held the residency for 2 years at the cask and bottle alongside dj rapid.Since then ive played at various nites around the midlands in cov,redditch,worcester,birmingham,wasall etc.... 
  In 2003 i started putting on a fortnightly event at a local wine bar which went really well although it was on a thursday night it was rammed everytime and was a big step for me!
  In 2004 i joined wreckless radio where i played my first live broadcasts for 12months the station was hard house / hardcore based station and was poorly run so i sent off various demo cd's and was asked to join protokol radio this was a drumnbass only and had a good reputation i had a
  slot of a week day for a few months then eventually landed a prime time show of 10-12 sat nites the station was based in london and as a midland dj i felt out of place so i joined after dark radio in 2007 where all the big midlands dj's played it was a big move for me as many of the dj's on there had influenced me from day 1 and played at the raves in the midlands sadly in summer of 2008 it came to an end and the managers went seperate ways!
  In november 2008 i joined forces with 3 other dj's to put together www.dnbmidlands.com which is now a well established station where i play a weekly show of 6-8pm mondays! We stream all the midlands events and host the midlands finest dj's it is something i have always wanted to do and really enjoy being part of it! 
  In 2009 me and dj rapid are launching a record label due to there being so much good drum n bass out there i dont think there will be a particular style just watever we feel does the damage!
  I also hope this year to finish a track as i have started a couple which i am looking forward to in the near future!
  Feel free to download my mixes and comment i usually do a monthy mix also there will be a few extras here and there so make sure u check them out!
  Much respect to all those who have supported me over the years many thanks RADICAL!
