Prolific digi-dub recording artist Tapes heads up the new year for Research, debuting with a two track 7” of slow and melodic synth cuts. At once playful and naïve yet masterfully constructed, the pieces unravel in unison to create the drowsy headspace associated with pitched down G-funk beats or vintage Italian library. Sharing a similarly visual immediacy to Amedeo Tomassi’s compositions for Biologia Marina, both ‘Sauna Research’ and ‘Aquarium Trousers’ conjure up subaquatic atmospheres of macrophytes and crill, wetsuits and snorkels. Tropical flora and fauna float by in the distance. Fittingly soundtracking the Australian summer, the new release follows on from recent daydream-like stoned outings for EM and Good Morning Tapes.

When Does Ghosting End

London based production duo Pure Warmth ready the 26th release for Important UK imprint Ad Hoc records, following on from the label's extensive and mind-altering catalog. Ad Hoc was set up in 2017 as a way to celebrate and support music bubbling from the Manchester scene, while combining their world music influences and love for warm rhythms and irresistible grooves. The label, which doubles up as a party, has invited a wide range of guests, always with the aim to support the artists they love through their launch parties and the city’s intimate surroundings. 

All of Ad Hoc’s previous releases have an abundance of soul and it’s easy to see why they have enlisted the work of duo Pure Warmth. The record kicks off with title track ‘Kutsu’ - a deep, contemplative journey across six minutes of nocturnal moods and organic rhythms, glued beautifully together by analogue warmth. In an age of three minute tracks, the duo use their knowledge of set building in ‘Something lyrical’, slowly gathering momentum through jazz infused melodies and flora swept atmospherics; the track's vocal sample adding to the classic house aesthetic. ‘Money’ turns things up a notch with a club-friendly approach; its hazy pads are threaded through funk-induced basslines and chords, before the record comes to a close with the irresistible and acid fueled hip-house cut ‘The Shepard’.

PREMIERE > inverted-audio.com/premiere-distorted-portrait-raw-culture

Smashing a rough-hewn 4/4 over acid-dipped gurgles and polychromatic synth ripples, @distorted-portrait ’Raw Culture' entwines a sleazy basement vibe with a finely iridescent Chicagoan feel. Straight to the core.

Aquarium - Slow Sunset Drive

Smokey, electronic funk from Italian multi-instrumentalist @Panoram. A reverb-heavy production builds a lo-fi, soothing groove, reminding us of PPU’s hazy RnB output. Taken from new EP, The Question, released on his own Wandering Eye.
