The ship had been on its expedition for decades; its captain sailing it to new and undiscovered locations, capturing the hearts of new found friends and creating memories that would last forever. Many faces joined the voyage along the way, helping the captain steer the ship in new directions. There was no final destination in mind, there never had been — only the journey mattered.

Our own pal Bozza AKA Bawrut lends a hand in inaugurating London-based imprint Other Goodness with Divergent Emotions, a collection of three tracks that, like the title suggests, pull from different moods and feelings. Produced during lockdown, the tracks were made with home listening in mind rather than the club — well, almost all, there's still that no-nonsense Bawrut flair on the opener. The other two tracks bring different flavours: 'Sunshine' channels that post-rave feeling and 'AndreW', which is a special tribute to the Guv'nor himself, matches chugging rhythms with melancholic synth lines.

PREMIERE: Bawrut - AndreW [Other Goodness]

Detrás del alter ego "Ultratube", hay una persona tremendamente curiosa y con una obsesión de investigar constantemente nueva música, nuevas estructuras y sonidos que lo lleven a otro estado emocional. 

Su pasión musical sincera se empezó a desarrollar en la mitad de los 90's bañándose de estilos donde predominaban las guitarras distorsionadas como el Indie Rock, el Punk, el Noise, el Shoegaze, el Indie Pop o Dream Pop entre otros. Enamorado de las bases potentes y las melodías celestiales. 

A principios del 2000, empezó el contacto con la electrónica a través del Techno de un corte mas minimalista e hipnótico, con gente como Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills o Josh Wink entre otros. Ya a mediados y a finales de la época del 2000,  empieza a tener contacto con estilos mas melódicos y atmosféricos, como el Progressive House, influenciado por gente como John Digweed, Sasha o Hernan Cattaneo. Sobre el año 2022, se enamora del Disco en su vertiente mas cósmica y espacial (donde también toca Dark Disco, Italo Disco, Indie Dance, New Beat, Synthwave, Acid, Progressive, Techno, etc...)

Suele pinchar en El Barbero Club (Palma de Mallorca). Uno de los clubes de referencia en la ciudad en cuanto a electrónica de calidad se refiere, con más de 30 años de antigüedad.

Los mixes que realiza son viajes a través de sonidos hipnóticos, narcóticos, lisérgicos y melódico-melancólicos donde se juntan para crear una subida de intensidad emocional del oyente.

Ultratube

(EN)

Behind the alter ego "Ultratube", there is a tremendously curious person with an obsession to constantly investigate new music, new structures and sounds that take him to another emotional state. 

His sincere musical passion began to develop in the mid-90s, bathing himself in styles where distorted guitars predominated such as Indie Rock, Punk, Noise, Shoegaze, Indie Pop or Dream Pop, among others. In love with powerful bases and heavenly melodies. 

At the beginning of 2000, contact with electronic music began through Techno, of a more minimalist and hypnotic style, with people like Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills or Josh Wink among others. Already in the mid and late 2000s, he began to have contact with more melodic and atmospheric styles, such as Progressive House, influenced by people like John Digweed, Sasha or Hernan Cattaneo. 

Around the year 2022, he falls in love with Disco in its most cosmic and spatial aspect (where he also plays Dark Disco, Italo Disco, Indie Dance, New Beat, Acid, Progressive, etc...).


He usually plays at El Barbero Club (Palma de Mallorca). One of the reference clubs in the city in terms of quality electronics with more than 30 years of experience.


The mixes he creates are usually journeys through hypnotic, narcotic, lysergic and melodic-melancholic sounds where they come together to create a rise in the listener's emotional intensity.

We could say few things about Hjalti, like that he has ticked all the boxes that most good Icelandic dj's have done. 

He's got mountains of vinyl, has played at the obligatory night-spots, festivals and radio stations, shared a stage with legendary International and local artists.
 
We could say that (actually, just did), but that would leave out the most if not the only important thing, the music! 

Hjalti's music is simply underground, minimal house music with a wink to the soulfulness and history of the House Nation. Let there be house in your house.

Storytelling with distinct sounds.

'Whatever you're about to hear in the vast spectrum of electronic music is purposely constructed to fit the theme of the set. All I do is plant the seed for you to use your imagination."

Enjoy the journey...🖤😷
