Lush and intricate, Manthos' original score for the Flexibilia imprint's latest outing sweeps its gauzy wonder across our imagination in swathes of minor-key melancholia, wrapped in delicate mystery.

Lush and intricate, Manthos' original score for the Flexibilia imprint's latest outing sweeps its gauzy wonder across our imagination in swathes of minor-key melancholia, wrapped in delicate mystery. The rework from Nikor chops things up with a Balaeric style driving backbone that snaps and chatters to its own dance floor narrative.

As Plasteline's Elect series hits double-figures, the imprint celebrates unleashing a two-headed, club-friendly, heavy-hitter. First, D_STRICT_4 delivers a muscular, peak dancefloor workout whose vibey, orchestral flourishes continue to reinvigorate its core tempo at each twist and turn. Bringing up the rear, SADYSH delivers an exceptionally atmospheric dancer, swathed in synth-flecked sound & light and generating real late-night into sunrise buzz.

The third Abstract City release for the Flexibilia imprint comes courtesy of JaVatar & Megz1331. JaVatar’s “Human Rhapsody” is a curious duality of delicate vocal delivery by Margarita Tasi, paired with a restive rap interlude by PAVC that makes for a compelling listening. On the split side, Megz1331’s haunting “Kehribari Moon” is a stripped-back electro-tech exploration, perfectly primed for an early doors warm-up session.

For Flexibilia's 55th release Antonis Papadopoulos and Nikos Mytilinakis team up to present the second in the Dream City series, the former offering up 'Lost In Space', a dreamy electronic exercise that melds ethereal synth melodies with light touch trip-hop tones, while the latter brings the mood with ‘Dance Of The Acidia’ a pacey tech-trance effort, skewed toward a left-of-centre crowd.

Plasteline&#8217;s latest offering comes courtesy of Al Grover with the Movings EP, which comprises three super-late night takes on classic house music. The EP&#8217;s opening track &#8216;Harvey&#8217;s Point&#8217; is kicking things off with Sound Signature-esque waves of deep Detroity house, whereas &#8216;Get Reel&#8217; is traversing in loopy nu-disco vibes. Eventually, &#8216;I Took A Look&#8217; takes us to smooth, jazzy house territory.

The latest offering from the Flexibilia camp is a Balearic inspired, down-tempo house number, artfully blending a simple but winning Spanish guitar flourish with intricate layers of glassy keys and chimes, creating a lilting, longing melody that dances around the rhythmic spine of the piece. Vocalist Penny adorns the finished arrangement with a hushed, and wistful story breathed gently into the heart of the track.

Next up from the Flexibilia camp comes 'Ecstasy' from the artist Siadou, an atmospheric, enigmatic exercise in hazy layers of reverberation, sugar-spun vocals and wintery electronics that combine to create a fragile and frozen dream pop wonderland.

Plasteline return with all guns blazing with this triple-headed beast courtesy of Salin, Genco &amp; Duchen Kollen working collectively in the construction of &#8216;Technoworks&#8217;. Salin&#8217;s &#8216;Minerva&#8217; is first up and is a sparse yet warm piece of techy minimalism whose bassline draws a midnight skyline in silhouette as the track winds tightly into its peak. Next up is Genco&#8217;s &#8216;North Trail&#8217; another pared-down workout underpinned by a modular-Moog style bassline that gives the piece its driving force, while coming up at the rear Duchen Kollen offers up &#8216;24 Moves&#8217; a progressive workout that builds and builds into a frenetic club-ready monster, propelled by a manic acid backbone!

For the eighth installment in Plasteline&#8217;s Elect series a triple-headed, 90s-inspired monster rears its epic head; kicking off with Elena Kulstof Ft. Siadou, &#8216;I Wanna&#8217; is the tamed beast, a minimal synth pop workout, whose muted electro rumblings erupt into a stupifying middle eight of electric dreams! Fade Out follow up suitably with &#8216;Exporting Dreams&#8217;, all atmospheric, progressive house as reimagined by a grandiose made-for-TV movie, while Joe Rekiav straddles the rear with &#8216;Astroride&#8217;, which keeps its feet firmly in dark and long territory.
