The 8th release from Sole Aspect Records is a sonic experience celebrating rich traditions of Chicago, Detroit, and New York. The Customary Finesse EP showcases a thoughtful dialogue between deep house and soulful techno, delivered with analogue warmth and understated elegance. Life Recorder’s “Blues in Flight” opens the A-side with layered synth work, warm pads, and hypnotic percussion—offering a deep, introspective glide for the dancefloor. Laak’s “Apophis” follows with a moodier, late-night pulse, featuring dubby textures and subtle melodic progressions that hint at cosmic tension. On the flip, Laak’s Retroflex Remix of “Blues in Flight” transforms the original into a minimalistic groove, dripping in tape-saturated nostalgia and spacey motifs. Life Recorder returns with the “House 2 Jazz Remix” of “Apophis,” blending swing-infused drum programming with jazzy chord stabs and expressive basslines—perfect for warm-up sets or sunrise moments. Overall, this EP carries a timeless, collector-grade aesthetic that resonates with purveyors of deep, soulful, and carefully crafted vinyl music.

CHRIS BARDES dévoile son nouveau titre “ATLANTIS”
Via le label La Daronne du Sud

L’artiste CHRIS BARDES présente “ATLANTIS”, un nouveau titre envoûtant qui plonge l’auditeur dans un univers à la fois profond, cinématographique et immersif. Portée par des sonorités modernes et atmosphériques, la chanson évoque une cité mythique engloutie, symbole de mystère, de mémoire et de renaissance.

Avec “ATLANTIS”, CHRIS BARDES affirme une identité artistique forte, mêlant textures électroniques, mélodies puissantes et émotions subtiles. Le morceau invite à un voyage intérieur, entre rêve et réalité, où chaque note semble flotter dans un monde sous-marin hors du temps.

Cette sortie s’inscrit dans la volonté du label La Daronne du Sud de mettre en avant des projets singuliers et audacieux, portés par des artistes à la vision affirmée et indépendante.

ATLANTIS
