Basically it's a combination of musical maturity and a mixture of feelings from a lifetime, Gran Canarian producer Sebastian Roya aka Egido always had in mind that at some point he was going to stop, to do something special, focusing on doing something for 'himself', making something 'personal', music reflexing his soul, something conceptual, also visualizing his musical trajectory. His musical and personal evolution coming to that moment when it's a right time to unleash 'Last Lap' EP, all those feelings and above all transmit a good trip for your ears, body and soul.  This dope 3 mixes digital record reveals a lot of complex rhythmics patterns and dystopic synths works, as well as some lovely singular and experimental mixing techniques. Listen to the title track 'Last Lap' here on 44,100Hz Towers.

Premiere: Far East Flight - Kailash [Electric Shapes]

shape-shifting water spirit, with the ability to transform into anything in pursuit of luring prey to its depths. Sonically conceptual, warm, classic-inspired and hardware-enriched palette with roots in 90’s Detroit style electronic music.

With an illustrious past in music, Nøkken is a fresh start for the elusive musician. The album opens with a Vangelis-like chord, setting the tone for the rest of the play. 808 drums and 303 bass-lines traverse Electro, Garage, Trip-hip, after-hours Techno Electronica, Ambient and...the list goes on. Nøkken closes the LP with a gorgeous Eno- inspired track, featuring field-recordings from the Nøkken itself.

PREMIERE | Nøkken - Espirit [Polymath] 2021

There were always two sides to every story — whether you heard them both was another question. Whoever got there first generally had the upper hand anyway, anything that followed was subject to much more interrogation. Suspicion shrouded every fact and figure, speculation veered the conversation away from the matter at hand; you never get any closer to knowing the real truth. 

At just 19 years old, Utrecht-based producer Ineffekt's productions far belie his years. After making his debut last year on Dutch label Intercept with his 'Solaris' EP, he makes his return for his first ever long player, which retains the distinctive rhythms and warm subs we heard on his debut, but this time dives deeper into playful and euphoric melodies. A vibrant and colourful wash of synths, dreamy vocal snippets and fuzzy percussion; the 10 tracks on 'Kora' each have their own unique flavour and groove.

Infuso Giallo - Ocular Soda 12"
BUY LINK: https://infusogiallo.bandcamp.com/album/ocular-soda
Release date: 30 september 2021
Label: Kame House (https://soundcloud.com/kame-house-852734962)

Infuso Giallo aka Philipp Carbotta originally hails from rural Western Germany, first cut his teeth in the music scene of nearby Cologne and conducts a host of activities in Berlin for a couple of years now – co-running the label Kame House, designing graphics and producing and playing leftfield electronic music. His debut LP Ocular Soda presents an intersection of these activities – self-released, self-designed, and of course self-produced. Even before the first synth chords and reverse atmospheres of the two-part opener 'Every Waking Hour' tickle the ear, it is the eye that is drawn to the bright, cut-out style cover art – itself made up of two eyes on the front and what seem to be their rough shapes or discarded counterparts on the back.
To stay within that metaphor, Infuso Giallo's music is indeed of a reflective and calm nature, taking cues from Berlin School, library, and New Age musics from roughly the 1970s to the 1990s – steadily repeating and slowly evolving ostinatos, lush digital pads, quirky filtered toplines and electronic percussion that mostly eschews four-four monotony in favor of much more subtle syncopations. Balearic bomb 'The Big Rip' with its big drums and acid bass turns the energy level up a notch while retaining the somnambulistic, lingering quality that makes Ocular Soda such a coherent listening experience – music on the sheath of waking and dreaming, both worlds and their inherent logics freely bleeding into each other. There are moments of great expanse, such as in 'Mole Gaze' – I couldn't help but see myself hovering somewhere in mid-air while the music unfolds as if on a great deserted plane below me. Maybe this is what it sounds like once the mole leaves his tunnels and takes in the sound of the world overground. 'Hello World', indeed, in its multitude of information to eye and ear, in its gently overwhelming quality. The title track 'Ocular Soda' closes the proceedings with a whimsical nod to 1970s botany-centered library music, its brooding chord sequence and sweet lead lines gradually fading in the distance. A fitting ending to an impressive LP of highly evocative, at times somber and at times blissfully naive pieces that leave me yearning for more.

PREMIERE : Infuso Giallo - The Big Rip

He couldn't remember the exact moment that love turned to resentment, but there must have been one. If there were a list of catalysts, it would be longer than his arm — so much had changed since they first met all those years ago. Did he blame her? He wasn't sure. But he definitely felt shortchanged, he'd been promised something and been given nothing: now it all seemed like wasted time...

The next release on Munich's Compost Disco sees Barcelona-based producers Velmondo and Priorat joining forces with Chicken Lips singer Jonny Spencer. Made up of two tracks, which get the rework treatment from Marc Piñol and In Flagranti, the EP is a heady melange of murky, hypnotic rhythms that chug along thanks to Spencer's commanding vocals. Both originals, one of which was a favourite of Weatherall and played on his last NTS radio show, are full of dark twists and turns over their near ten-minute durations.

Let the darkness come out so you can find calm again...
