@loveintfestival has linked up with @test_pressing to launch a new label. The inaugural release comes from @fantastic-man, the Berlin-based Australian whose music has been played by everyone from Aphex Twin to Bicep to Gerd Janson and many more.

Love International make good times happen in far flung places, whilst Test Pressing make good times happen physically and in the digital sphere, a meeting of like minds and shared tastes, all bases covered here. Together this collaboration has been releasing compilation album from the likes of Gatto Fritto, Beautiful Swimmers and Shanti Celeste, and this new label project unites recording artists and designers in a meeting of music and art.

On the ‘Cloud Management’ release, Fantastic Man teams up with Alexander Papoli-Barawati, a German/Filipino/Iranian graphic designer and art director living in Berlin. The striking and playful graphic design is in tandem with the music, which runs from the beautiful piano–led Balearic sounds of ‘Cloud Manager’ to the floating breaks in ‘Lounge Wizard’, the warped chug tempo in ‘Psychic Monthly’ and the beautiful acid bubbles of release finale, ‘Time Apprentice’.

Adam BFD first burst onto the scene with his colourful, emotive driven productions; making a name for himself as an artist bridging the gap between electro, breaks and house. Now based in Paris, his work continues to put a nostalgic and animated spin on his far-reaching influences, from London to Mexico City and beyond. In the time since Adam’s introduction a series of singles and a recent EP on Running Out of Steam has seen the musician further refine and develop his sonic palette and Embrace coming by way of Distant Horizons is no exception. The five track EP covers many life cycles and no matter how mature, Adam’s tracks never lose the ability to make people move.

Adam starts by embracing the unknown in Le Voyage with its frenetic breaks and glistening melodies opening up a pathway to the stars, before space opens and time resides in Flotus; a special heart-searching moment, balanced by springly, danceable grooves. I Mean It gently unravels with tangible percussion and daydreaming textures, vocal loops becoming increasingly hypnotic as time stands still.

It’s not just Adams pacing that’s impressive, but his ability to turn real world sounds into fully functional elements heard in title track Embrace. Water moves freely over tightly packed drums and arpeggiated synths; a piece of tranquility ready when needed. Which Gate follows with pensive field recordings and cloud-formations; jerking breaks leaping back and forth in another special EP from a producer just getting started.

PREMIERE: Adam BFD - Embrace

Flowing between dreamy textures and imaginative soundscapes, ‘Circadian Rhythm’ is an EP on a quest to find the perfect balance between mindful listening and club hysteria. This is never an easy task, but in the safe hands of UK based producer Will Silver it’s a fluid experience that blends seamlessly between worlds. In the past Will has released genre experiments on Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs label ‘Nice Age’ and has been remixed by renowned producers, Surpreems & 1-800 GIRLS, showcasing a talent for sound design that can sit with the best. 

Will advances into quasi tropical territory, the smell of wet concrete still evident from the world left behind in the mesmerizing opener ‘Sine[IN]’. Ghostly voices combine beautifully with breakbeats and acidic leads resulting in a mysterious tale, its final chapter lost at sea. ‘Oriole’ flips the script and features emerging UK artist Ell Murphy; her gleaming vocals acting as the protagonist in a nostalgic trip of celestial breaks with an electro sheen. ‘She Could Be A Cartoon’ closes out the A side, flanked by intense rhythms, atmospheric melodies and idiosyncratic bass. 

Experimental by nature, balanced by live drum sequences, 'Sci-fi’ produces a unique listening experience with an extraterrestrial twist. The sound of birds in the distance and the cleansing nature of the sea are front and center in ‘Obsolescence’, before the delicate rhythms and entrancing silhouette of ‘Sine[Out]’ waves goodbye from the horizon.

REVIEW > inverted-audio.com/review/tom-demac-sink-or-swim

Walking the line of techno and deep house notoriously, @tomdemac array of production can go from the soulful grooves and melody that turn a dusty warehouse into saving Grace, but more importantly he's got the rare capacity to flip the script, energising crammed rooms into blissful mania. Hype man ting wha wha.

Sink or Swim

Tom Demac - Mayfield Road [Hypercolour]

The shutters rolled down outside the factory as the workers left and shut up shop for the day. The machines ground to a halt and from that point onwards there would be high security and no access throughout the whole site. It was at this point that they would plan to make their move, jumping over the fence and seeking excitement amidst the glimmer of the hazardous lights and the dangers which lurked within. Nobody had ever said that breaking the law wasn't fun, it just wasn't "supposed" to be. 

Hame DJ appears on a new EP alongside Liluzu for Vulcan Venti, an eccentric percussive affair which bangs and bumps with promise and purpose. It's robust and ready built for the club.
