2022 Releases

A1 East Vision by Milanese’s finest Uabos uncovers an extraordinary musical experience with a lot of twists and twirls that are skilfully crafted. Constructed of mouth-watering synth textures and dusty melodic samples that hover over the rolling bass engine, Uabos surely delivers a dancefloor killer.

Herzel’s Transformation as the A2 track adds deep blue melodic depth on top of icy rhythmic pattern. It tickles the senses as sharp leads and powerful kicking stabs appear above the grinding bass line, providing mesmeric effect.

Flute Power’s Discothalia heats up the B side. Lush breaks and ripples meet a cloud-bursting bass line, intertwining with the ethereal vocal traces that unveil throughout the composition and into infinity.

Metropolitan Soul Museum in the closing B2 track Former Glory introduces a delicately structured musical narrative that has blocks of steady rhythmic percussion accompanied with unforeseeable melodic samples and tender vocal cut-ups.

PREMIERE: Metropolitan Soul Museum - Former Glory [БРАН]

Join Metropolitan Soul Museum for the grand opening of the Kulture Galerie release series in 2022.

Kulture Galerie is London-based duo Metropolitan Soul Museum's mix series, live every 2 months on Radio. The show's concept is to give an opportunity to the artists invited to select non-club / home listening music where a variety of influences and cultures and different dichotomies of the same form of expression. The various artists releases that will follow each year, will include 6 original tracks from the 6 artists involved in the shows.

'Kulture Galerie Year 1', out on a limited number of CDs distributed by Lobster Distribution and mastered by Nerang and Gestalt's Nørus, includes 6 non genre specific tracks from the first 6 guests: MSM's partner in crime Herzel (Hivern Discs, Uncanny Valley), Echocentric Records's boss Timo Deeprhythms, prolific US producer Aspetuck, Lyssna Records' main man Adam Stromstedt, Regelbau's affiliate K-Dallas under his Exo Ghost moniker and finally an original track from Metropolitan Soul Museum.

You are all invited to grab a copy of 'Kulture Galerie Year 1', out in 2022.

VA - Year 1 [CLIPS]

There were strange ghouls and mysterious ghosts which haunted the streets at night. They left no trace by the light of the morning yet beneath the shadow of darkness they acted as reapers and villains, picking up lost souls. 

It was hard to say where they'd come from and how they'd found themselves to be in this world. They seemed to float faintly between the cobbled streets, leaving behind a cold chill in the dense fog of the midnight. 

Were they some kind of strange magic? Were they simply an illusion of the mind? Something we might want to believe in rather than a fact...?

Metropolitan Soul Museum have fast become a duo to keep an eye on - their music is distinctly innovative, drawing upon elements of krautrock and leftfield electronica. This time they offer up a collection of house based music for Public Release on an EP called 'The Pleasure Principle'. It's a strong EP.

Taken from "Statues - Lost Star EP (MM Discogs)".  March 31st 2023. Buy here https://mmdiscos.bandcamp.com/album/lost-star

The Sun, that magical star that provides energy and vitality, aims to hide from us and disappear during the long, dark winter times. Perhaps all things in the universe need a break and maybe that's why it is lost during this period. But just a little frame of time, cause he always come back to shine more than ever.
Fronted by Bradley Lucke and Mark Crooks, UK collective Statues has definitely established in the MM Discos family signing the last release by doing a very special tribute to the sun.
"Lost Star EP" is lysergic, melancholic and dreamy. Starting far away, light years away from us with the cosmic, repetitive and ascending rhythms of "Conney Island".
"Lost Star", the EP's title track, constantly pursues that dreamy feeling proposed in the first track, although it escapes into a much more organic but equally psychedelic terrain.
The EP takes a break and lowers the tempo a little with "The Becoming", taking it towards areas where "the ambient" is the protagonist, how proud Brian Eno would be about it. Closing the EP "Club Love", pure balearica-psychodelia.

Iury LECH - Barreras (Powder Remix) (STW Premiere)

These tracks were written and produced over the last week; a most unusally quick turnaround for me :) It seems isolation has caused a burst of creativity. The current lockdown also affected the feel of the music; these two tracks are quite sombre in tone but with a note of positivity running through them, hence the titles. Anyway, hope you like the music.

Much love and keep safe x
