Solo Noi (James Falco Edit)

The landscape took their breath away - as far as the eye could see huge trees soared into the air, set against a backdrop of mountains and soft billowing clouds. This was the first day of several months they'd spend living out here in the wild; something of a departure from the urban jungle they'd always known. They couldn't wait to immerse themselves in these surroundings, to forget the outside world and be at one with nature...

At the beginning of the year Crazy P announced a series of EPs on 20/20 Vision which sees the group handpick their favourite artists to share new original tracks. Following two instalments which have featured tracks and remixes from Ashley Beedle, Felix Dickinson, A Certain Ratio, Sarah Bates and more, they deliver volume number three which rallies ALFOS' Hardway Bros, Polish artist Das Komplex, French selector Lea Lisa and Red Rack ‘Em for a collection of sounds that touch on Balearic vibrations, cosmic grooves and classic deep house.

PREMIERE: Hardway Bros - Here's To The Wild (Hardway Bros Meet Monkton Under Blue Moon)

Exclusive: Pete 'Padre' Lazonby - Beautiful Lies

No stranger to sumptuous electronic vibes, Pete Lazonby dons his Padre hat for the 31st release on RAWAX, a label which continues to push forward from strength to strength. The Beautiful Lies EP brings to the fore a quadruple-headed trip-vibe for the DJs of the world.

For the A-side, we're given two superb originals in the name of Beautiful Lies and Spellcasting, two cuts of absolute class in every way. The title track is a heady mixture of softly crisp hats, neatly placed FX sounds and light, yet punchy, percussion. The synths weave in and around the bass and drums, ethereal in their warmth and space-like flow. A good word to describe the sound would be 'woozy', as there's a real hazy-headed feeling to the vibe here. 

Following on is the aforementioned Spellcasting, sticking with a similarly spaced-out theme, but this time utilising more of a minimal approach, as the track takes several minutes to build from its synth-led start, the layers of drums, tinkling riffs, additional fuzzy synths and low-buzzing FX sounds all gradually settling down in their rightful place, within the sound spectrum. As electronic music goes, you'll have to go some way to create something as gorgeous as this, it's perfect warm-up or ending-set music, but that you can also listen to as a standalone piece of beautiful music. 

The B-side takes the two A-side tracks and gives each one of them a Beat Mix; what this essentially means is you get slightly more stripped-back versions of both cuts, which are in reference to, but add excellent bonuses to, the originals themselves. Not DJ tools as such, each version just takes some of the elements out, or they are simply rearranged, both working wonderfully. The Beat Mix of Spellcasting is a quite exquisite example of how to make something have a real impact, but in a quiet and understated manner, again a showcase of absolute skill to close this excellent release. The level of soothing on this EP is really something else!

Padre’s Beautiful Lies EP is released on RAWAX.

PREMIERE : Cydux - Nimbus

“Bembe” (Bembé) comes from the Yoruba people of West Africa. Depending on the context, the term can refer to a kind of drum, an ethnic subgroup, a religious ceremony, a style of dance, or a genre of music. It is also the name of the track we were solicited to premiere from BlackFilter’s forthcoming digital/vinyl release on the delicious Italian label Ragoo Records. Pellegrino Mazzucchi, the mastermind behind the alias, is a percussionist, DJ, and producer based in Modena, Italy, and owner of a singular sonority that encompasses Latin, Afro, and World Music influences. 

The result of the fruitful partnership between Pellegrino and his fellow countryman Daddario gave birth to the stunning “Bembe”, a two-in-one theme that introduces itself complex percussive elements and mellow synth leads for 2.10 of its 4.41 minutes until the “futuristic Jazz with hints of Electro and Disco” aura jumps in and changes the game entirely, “offering the listener a sonic and refreshing sound experience”.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://ragoorecords.bandcamp.com/

Benjamin Philippe Zulauf drops a stripped-back and atmospheric deep tech/deep techno release via his record label, Hummingbird by BPZ.

The three tracks on this release are in Benjamin Philippe Zulauf's trademark style, which fuses raw percussion and analogue synths, similar to what he has released via imprints such as Claap Rec, Vekton Black and Fourier Transform.

"Redheads" has a framework of solid percussion that's overlaid by rippling pads and fizzing hi-hats, while rhythmic stabs add a jackin' flow to the immersive groove.

🌱 SESSION XII — JUNGLE OF MIRRORS  
Dive into the Amazon Basin’s shamanic heart. ApØtheØsis channels Shipibo-Konibo & Asháninka icaros—bird-like vowel melodies, howler-monkey hums and breath whistles—over rain-stick cascades, water drums, bone ocarinas and thunder-bass. At 50–65 BPM, experience a humid, hypnotic dusk alive with bioluminescent fireflies and mapacho smoke.

I chose this region for its living lineage of Amazonian icaros—medicine songs that mirror the rainforest’s breath and pulse. Let the mirrored pools of vine-cloaked canopy and torchlit bodies guide you through psychoactive, ancestral trance.
