Hear an epic six-handed action of laser-fuelled & syncopated UK Bass from the occasional trio of producers First Epoque, Slowglide & Vina Konda, with a gentle take on sound design and vocal science, to be released on Lyon’s oddest electronic bird nest Dill Dodos Recife.

At least! Here comes Smogo's debut EP on his own imprint, 6 years after the beginning of the label. With a blend of dark drum'n'bass vibes, trancy rhythms and heavy percussions, the Marseille-based producer is exploring wild territories of modern underground dance music. For this first release on the catalogue, he conveys two heavy figures of the french scene : Slowglide and Drawbridge, each one going one step beyond with their slow-trance interpretation of Vocifer and the intense, rumbling remix of Narcopirate.

Tracklist: 

Smogo - Les Portes du Sublime Rêve
Smogo - Sharp Knowledge
Smogo - Vocifer
Smogo - Lords Of Gwaranjar
Smogo - Narcopirate
Smogo - Vocifer (Slowglide Remix)
Smogo - Narcopirate (Drawbridge Remix)

We remember over a year ago the latest installment of Crysta Ampullaris, bringing together a host of guests from all corners of the country to offer us an eclectic opus, where stylistic boundaries were shattered to give prominence to sound design and a post-covid club vision unique to each individual. While it goes without saying that we thrive on sharing, we must also know how to refocus on the essentials, and it is through reflection on a common aesthetic that this new volume was born.

“Tribe.” A marginal musical style, long nestled in the free party culture, now seems to infuse into the most mental and fast-paced forms of electronic music. We wanted to take a look at our own roots, in the muddy grounds of our regional soundsystems, where everyone is invited to uncompromising sonic journeys. It is where nature, humans and technology come together in a joyful celebration of inner and outer life. The familiar faces from previous volumes are present: Nigm, Slowglide and Ayuji deliver three energetic and shamanic tracks, exploring fast grooves, hypnotic patterns and twisted landscapes. New faces also make their appearance, such as Numa, a founding member of the collective, presenting a generously psychedelic and textured debut track. Additionally, Perdu et Retrouvé from Venus Club introduces a superb dreamy and tribal collaboration with Shonen Bat.

As you can see, this new volume is an invitation to travel, to move and to connect ; as moving and being moved is our mantra.

Tracklist: 

1. Nigm - Rift Of Spirits
2. Slowglide - Ikeda Map
3. Ayuji - The Lost Lagoon
4. Numa - Mapinguari
5. Perdu et Retrouvé & Shonen Bat - TribeAdvisor

Since 2013, Slowglide has been creating a unique sound which recalls ancestral mysticism, altered states of consciousness as well as cyber-tech fantasies. With a special emphasis on sound design, he crafts uncanny atmospheres, dense rhythms and otherworldly soundscapes. Fed by psychedelia, electronic hybridisations and non-Western music, he’s constantly in search of fresh and unusual techniques to renew his sound palette. After a breakthrough 12” on Antinote in 2018, Slowglide’s music has found its place on labels like Comic Sans Records, Global Warming, Vernacular Records or his newly founded imprint Vanishing Point. He’s also part of the Reims-based techno collective La Forge, considered by Tsugi as “one of the most talented French labels” in 2020.
