Sergei Orange & Kelle - As We Enter - Bombtraxx

«Unicorn is too beautiful and harmless to be evil. But catching it is a tricky business, and one should have extraordinary wit-for-it.» 
(«Unicorn», Leonardo da Vinci)

Image of Unicorn is clothed with mystery: this mythical beast incarnates human origin and final aim of it, it is a symbol of calmness at one given moment and waken mind at next moment. Having incorporated the opposite manifestations of life, it shines in darkness, showing the Path to Man who is wondering through vast territories of life.

> Searching of Oneself is an eternal process, and gained wisdom eases realization of it. Bright light of Unicorn threw a light to soul of Alex, inspired him to create music about the mysterious beast. The track «Unicorn» is alike a horse ride to overcome distance from sleeping mind to awaken one.

> As the graceful pacer, Unicorn is described by a British producer 48K. Richard has managed to «mount» this playful horse, moreover to breed a talented horse by having taught it unusual way of traveling, amble. Remix by 48K «touches» with its mannerism and versatility, extends the comfort zone of the most exquisite Listener.

> Rhythmic trot across the expanses of fantastic wood guarantees remix by Oleg Zubkov. With his work this Kazakh musician demonstrates strength and authority of this mythical beast, and pays tribute to the ethereal beauty of the Unicorn.

> Full gallop in performance of Spaniard Xtorsion symbolizes end to human nature, as the reincarnation into a higher society with new values and opportunities. Dani describes a rapid jump of a new generation to a comprehensive chastity. Are you ready for changes?

«… The bird of wonder dies, 
the maiden Phoenix, 
Her ashes new create another heir, 
As great in admiration as herself» 
(«The Phoenix and the Turtle», from «Henry VIII» by William Shakespeare)

The legend about the mysterious bird says: Phoenix – is a symbol of the mighty Sun, setting in the evening and re-emerging in the morning. In the minds of men even today is kept the belief that the Phoenix - is the eternal life of soul after the death of body. 

> Researcher of «thin» facets of past knowledge, Parallax Breakz paid tribute to Phoenix and described its image through music. Spirit of legendary bird has become materially realized in hard, unusual and red glowing track by Alex.

> «Phoenix» in interpretation of British duo Audiohazard – is a bird of Life, bringing light and warming up all the surrounding with its fire breathing. In their remix Michael and Ian preserved mystical mood of original, at the same time decorated it with their own sounding - «bold» bass-line, storming groove, and charged it with the energy of flame.

> History about fire bird also imbued Spaniard Blazer. About the death of Phoenix’ body cries its soul – remix by Alberto illustrates whole life cycle of wonder-bird – it is «burning» breakbeat, breathtaking with its powerful feeding.

> Emerging from ashes presents Phoenix Spaniard HardNoise. Free flight of soul, reincarnation of bird of Luck Alvaro described it in inherent to him style – remix is saturated with «thick» bass, acid-sounding, and once more accented mysticism of release.

«RUNE012BLACK: Parallax Breakz – Unicorn / Phoenix» - it is the crossroads of the fate of people who seek Enlightenment, a look at the future through the prism of priceless past, this is the main sign of RUNE recordings in 2011 year. We thank you for your support, dear Listener, and are glad to our new acquaintance! ; )

RUNE158: Ákos Győrfy — Winter Tale (incl. Framewerk & Noel Sanger Remixes) — another solid progressive package from RUNE Recordings. 

This time, we are honored to welcome aboard a seriously powerful roster of true connoisseurs of progressive vibrations, kicking off the label’s summer season of releases with a 'Winter Tail' single by Ákos Győrfy — a classic Progressive Breaks production, that spotlights the artist's distinctive talent. 

On the flipside, the British duo Framewerk produced not just one, but two remixes which breathe the frosty, fresh air of Atmospheric & Acid Electro Breaks vibes onto the 'Winter Tale' original. We aren’t done just yet, as the icing on the cake of the entire release is Noel Sanger's interpretation, tastefully infused with exquisite Progressive House sound, full of orchestral motifs, epic riffs and lush hi-hats.

The entire ‘Winter Tale’ package delivers a nice variety of genres, suited for a wide range of listeners and DJs — be it Progressive or Deep House, Melodic Techno, Breaks or Electronica and any other genre of electronic music.

RUNE159: Under This & Kelle — Stay Creative — a breezy fresh single from the duo made in heaven.

Here at RUNE Recordings, we believe that creativity is an active realization of human's inventive potential. However, in practice, we also face the fact that sometimes it’s difficult to turn creative ideas into reality and it can be due to a lack of motivation, support, or simply a lack of ideas.

In such moments, we unite and mix artists who can create something new together — for themselves, label, and listeners. One of these tandems is Under This & Kelle, whose collaboration became a boost of creativity for each of the artists individually and resulted in the banging track ‘Stay Creative’.

We wish everyone that the fresh summer sound of ‘Stay Creative’ will inspire you to creative discoveries, as it happened with Under This & Kelle. Enjoy the sound and share Breakbeats. Worldwide. 🖤

Hello, my dear friend. It's me, Zhenya, recognized among listeners as Nelver. Today is a special day when my first and perhaps the only breaks-style album sees the world — and is now available to you and everyone. 

I am sincerely grateful to everyone for their participation and assistance in its creation. Those who follow my creative path and make an invaluable contribution to the support — the team of the label RUNE Recordings — and separately Vikky Lav, who inspired to make the album in one breath — in just two weeks. 

I dedicate this work to you, dear listeners, and I hope that «RUNE Attack» LP will take a worthy place in the audio library of lovers of the breakbeat style. 

With love and gratitude, 
Zhenya aka Nelver

-----------
The last couple of decades have seen Church emerge as one of the underground's most interesting sound designers, groove makers and synth wizards. From melodic soundscapes to industrial techno under
a range of aliases, he can do it all, and often with a deep thinking perspective that adds real depth to the music. 

Barr, meanwhile, last appeared on the label when remixing back in June. He has also landed on Krankbrother and Nofitstate, runs his own Portable Minds imprint, and is also a close member of Sasha’s Last Night on Earth family. His hardware-centric sound is always rugged and real.

Church’s opener 'Splitting' is a scintillating and luxurious techno track with an angelic vocal drifting like a cloud amongst silvery harmonies and melodies. A driving bassline powers along the groove
and ensures you're lost in a reverie. 

Jody then offers up 'Collusion', a darker track with acid gurgles underpinning the icy hi hats. It's deep techno for the dead of the night and is hugely atmospheric.

'Dissociated Process' is the second Church original and another exquisite showcase of his ability to pair heavy grooves with delicate and majestic synth craft. The rubbery drums provide the rhythm
while the keys and deft melodies drift past up top with a real sense of beauty. 

Last but not least, our feature premiere - Barr's 'Under the Rain' - rides on an expansive and cosmic broken beat groove with plenty of astral pads and starry synths unfolding in the wide open skies above.

These are four well crafted, high class melodic techno tracks that brim with futurism.
