Image Research is excited to present a new suite of songs from label stalwart, Hoverist. As one of IR’s founding releases in 2021, ‘Universal Veil’ set the tone with its timeless soundscapes and displaced electronics, embedded in a deep love and appreciation for 90’s IDM.

Flash forward to ‘Expansion Chamber’, the newest offering from the producer which dials in a more rhythmic approach to an already expansive and rich palette. Where ‘Universal Veil’ covers like a warm blanket, ‘Expansion Chamber’ cuts like a knife with a sheen of precision and attention to detail. Genre-bending with fluidity and poise to astonishing results.

There is an uplifting clarity to each of the 4 tracks, that unfold deeply and differently with each listen. Clockwork percussion, emotive synth-work, and an endless supply of chopped and refracted acid sequences combine to entrance and catapult physical movement.

True to its name, ‘Expansion Chamber’ guides the listener in and out of the body, passing through unconscious states. A swirling fever dream of energy and light. - HPT

Released March 1, 2024

Ebende - Nostalgia

Gladio Operations launches its fifth release, which bears 
the signature of the excellent Russian producer Larionov. Dmitry is one of the new talents asserting himself and one of the most promising on the European Electro scene, having worked with renowned labels such as Craigie Knowes and Hilltown Disco, among others.

On his Gladio debut, Larionov gifts us with ‘Lost Alien’ an EP permeating with well-constructed electro sounds, where ‘Lost In Space’, an awesome energetic track, opens the pack. ‘Lost In Space’ is accompanied by an additional remix by the owners of the UHF label, on which they delve into EBM terrain, offering a contrasting approach to the original cut.

Onthe B side, we encounter ‘Alien Friend’ where upon we perceive compact and well-moulded sounds, accompanied by an aggressive bassline, very characteristic in the productions of the Russian artist.

The EP closes with ‘System Error’, a wild and powerful track that will no doubt stimulate your sets in any demanding club.

PREMIERE: Hoverist - Félicette [Image Research]

This album is a gift we made to the waters: oceans, glaciers, rivers, lakes, springs, wells. And also the internal water which constitutes the human body. Water has been proved to be a living being not just a chemical element. It keeps the memories and make them flow, it carves rocks, it registers emotions and waves, both visible and invisible. 
When I started to work on this project I was really keen on mantra music. I used to practice Kundalini Yoga and noticed that singing mantras had an immediate and clear effect on my emotional body. Furthermore I could learn the sanscrit verses quite quickly and felt like I deeply grabbed the meaning. I always wanted to interprete some of these mantras in my personal sound key. The occasion materialized when I got a proposal from an interesting organization based in Spain, working on sound preservation of the oceans. They sent me some stunning field recordings of whales, dolphins, breaking ice of the pole (which you can hear spread here and there in the tracks) and asked to compose a track. Later they commissioned a whole audiovisual performance. It was at this point that I decided to combine my passion for mantras with the idea of celebrate the water world. The performance was designed together with visionary artist Maria Torres. Its basic concept was that of a ritualistic performance in which through the power of chanting, sound, thematic visuals we could charge drinkable water, put on stage or in the audience, to transform it in a magical fluid capable of removing obstacles and purify all waters on the planet. So Aqua Mantra was born, our little gift to acquatic  ecosystems that are demanding human awareness to be rescued. 
The intent of this recording is to be used as a meditation, therefore we recommend to listen to it by respecting the sequence and to start and finish it with the opening and closing mantras. 
A special thanks go to the legendary painter Anna Paparatti for letting me use one of her beautiful unreleased mandala as artwork.
Adi Shakti and Durga Mantra were included in the soundtrack of “La Pitturessa”, a film documentary dedicated to Anna Paparatti by her daughter Fabiana Sargentini. 

May our prayers be creative and joyful, may our prayers be heard.

TAKT Mix Series 029 - Baster Jazzster

Free Shelter invites one of Helsinkis newest underground royalty, Stella, for their 45th guest mix on IDA Radio.

What is the most common denominator when a person evolves in a rapid speed and goes from novice to all-around maestro? We’d say talent. That is what Stella has. 

A newcomer to some, virtuoso to others. The way Stella grew from the underground scene in Helsinki to a resident at one of our most beloved Clubs in Kaiku, is nothing short of extraordinary. Her ear for the moment and current sound is un-paralleled and has helped her form a unique sound that elevated her place in the citys hierarchy. 

Her secret is to instead of shutting emotions out, she let’s them guide her. ”It is a nice way to get to know what I am feeling with just listening to different kinds of music and choosing what resonates the most with me in that specific moment”. This is evident in her mix. 

Like a solar eclipse, these moments when someone comes in and reshuffles the deck does not happen often so take note before it’s too late. Bow down.
