Donato Dozzy, Marco Shuttle and Ultrastation are among the names on these great remix package on the trustworthy SoHaSo label. After two well received EP's -Laren and ZL2- Bas Dobbelaer and Vand asked a few like-minded spirits to reset the dials of some of their best work. With their melancholic, melodic and highly detailed techno-infused productions, the two Dutch producers carved a name for themselves over the last four years.

Italian producer Donato Dozzy takes Transit (a track from 2019) into a lush, green forrest. Where dew water is still dripping from the trees while string-like melodies slowly swirl around them. Beautiful stuff.

Gal Tsadok-Hai takes a similar path, though his take on Gateway to Gaia is a bit gloomier. Dusk is setting in and so is melancholia.

Same goes for Marco Shuttles version of Reflect, a track from 2021. The London-based Italian producer left out kickdrums and basslines, settling instead for a feverish percussion-infused meditation.

Once on the flipside, the club vibe truly kicks in. With a minimalist, bassline heavy remix by Shoal of Story of Blade and an equally effective techno remake from Ultrastation, who turns Runner into a hypnotic peak time monster.

PREMIERE: Foans - Black Beach [Image Research Records]

Soil Records is releasing their album tomorrow to commemorate its fifth anniversary. As we wrap up our analysis of this release, let's review the 10 tracks that comprise the latest CD. Right from the start, we have emphasized that the greatest strength of this work is its stylistic diversity. It brings together various styles and interpretations, encompassing what we can consider post-punk or any musical genre derived from this movement.

The CD kicks off with "#546," a piece by Takahiro Mukai, a Japanese artist known for releasing nearly 50 albums since 2014. For this release on the Valencian label, Mukai contributes a track that blends influences from sci-fi techno, industrial, and experimental genres. "Collar de Perro Viejo" marks the debut of Alextanko, a new project with a distinct personal style. In this track of abstract composition, Alextanko presents an ordered chaos where each element freely circulates following specific guidelines.

"The House of Mirrors" is a collaboration between Last Chance and Henry Grey, two projects whose origins remain unknown. Together, they showcase their inclination towards organic darkwave. Information about SZYL is also scarce, as Ian Broch, the head of Soil Records, informed us that many of these debut projects involve renowned figures who have chosen to remain anonymous for the time being. SZYL's "Sex Girl" leans towards simple yet effective electro, featuring a rhythmic structure, a relatively straightforward bassline, and a seductive vocal performance embodying the essence of the track's title. Yansyet and Namesis, who released a track on Valley Of Tears 4 last year, make a return on Soil Records with "Better." In this track, the two Russian projects skillfully blend the energy and rawness of EBM with reimagined electronic textures.
T.D.D, another artist about whom we lack information, adds to this album with "Acid Ocarina," a track characterized by a distinctive sound structure and a techno-oriented style. It features an arpeggiated bassline and various sharp textures, possibly reminiscent of the sound of an acid ocarina. The melody continuously emerges and integrates with the rhythm. "Paranoid Visions" by Delectro, a Colombian artist, delivers techno with a higher level of forcefulness compared to the previous tracks. It showcases a strident line that intensifies its energy.

Undisclosed 1122, a fairly recent project from Colombia, joins this album with "Trouble Mind." This track is dominated by powerful synth lines and demonstrates excellent post-production work. German artist Dillon Steele, artistically known as The Marquis is Dead, contributes "Jealous Freak," which combines the rawness of metal, industrial, and electronic genres. Jk Flesh concludes this album, consisting of 50 tracks by different artists, with "Enduring Endurance." It presents degraded techno, devoid of harmonics and pushed to the limits of saturation.

Release date: July 4th, 2023.

[HARMONY016]— Limping on Clouds is an EP born from an in-depth collaboration between @polygonia and @shoall. The A-side features one carefully curated track by each artist, while the B-side is a true symbiosis of their work, evolving from a single element or layer loop into a complete mix and arrangement that was gradually developed over time and distance.
 
Side A opens with Shoal's “Majola,” featuring layered breaks and a deep, slung bass, followed by Polygonia's “Repeat,” infused with kinetic energy, rhythmic elements, and euphonic vocal samples.

The synergistic B-side unfolds with a subtle, organic rhythm. “Pendulum” overflows with lush ambiance, creating an ethereal mood that pervades the record. The EP concludes on a downtempo note with the track “Limping on Clouds.”

Polygonia & Shoal - Limping on Clouds [HARMONY016]

https://soundcloud.com/furthersessions returns with Vivendum 5, a tightly wound four-tracker that speaks softy but hits deep. Featuring https://soundcloud.com/psyk, https://soundcloud.com/shoall, https://soundcloud.com/blazejmalinowskiofficial, and https://soundcloud.com/saveyouratollofficial, it’s a focused study in atmospheric techno: sharp-edged, detail-rich, and stripped to the essentials. Crystalline oscillations and rounded low-end pressure guide the trip.

Plug into into the euphonic world of Shoal with his debut EP for Animalia, Temporal Blend. The Utrecht based producer dives head first into the release with his mesmerisingly warm, rich & silky-smooth groove, all characteristics that define his unique take on techno.  

A yin/yang essence threads the EP together with cosy, full bodied melodies, dynamic tempos & entrancing oddities throughout. It’s this subtle & harmonious balance of flavours that make Shoal a pitch-perfect fit for the Animalia family.
