[LABEL TEXT]

After a string of highly regarded modern balearic eps in the last two years Subatomic boss Steve Miller aka Afterlife punches back in with the anticipated “Baywatch” EP looking forward to brighter days ahead. True to the trademark mind-clearing touch he’s come to be known for Steve Miller lands a new vividly hued quartet of sun-baked groovers, engineered to symbiotically uplift and soothe both the body and soul. This couldn’t be more needed today.

Fresh coastal air blows across the opening track, “Fly”, and we’re invited to take off to the sound of exotic string movements, as subtly arranged portamentos and prismatic synths entangle in one sensual dance. Bringing some further muscular heft to the bass range, title-cut “Baywatch” ignites a dancefloor-friendly fire of playful acid synth and slo-scudding pads on a retro tip. The result is as funkily efficient as it invites to deep-dive in Afterlife’s intricate sound design and lavish interplays on textures and envelopes. 

Back to a quieter, more serene kind of vibe, “The Bridge” could be called a sonic haiku; making tapping drums, verbed-out Duduk solos and weightless chimes pour gently as in a zen garden’s body of water. Unruffled jazzy-house exercise in style and a true ode to the impermanence of things. 
“Lost Tribes” wraps it all up on an equally easy, yet more adventurous note with it’s ballet of jazzy solos, washed-out pads, chimes and subtle chords making their way to the surface from deep down in the most vivid of dreamscapes. Time for sunshine.

BAYWATCH

PREMIERE: Afterlife - Fly [Subatomic]

EP Namai – debiutinis kūrėjos „thelastsunday“ minialbumas. Jame tyrinėjamas sudėtingas žmogaus ryšys su aplinka: gamta, žmonėmis ir pačiu savimi. Apibūdinti minialbumo skambesį nelengva – čia susijungia lietuviški, poeziją primenantys tekstai su elektroniniais ir perkusiniais ritmais, manipuliuojama sintezuotais garsais, gitarų, styginių ir pučiamųjų instrumentų tekstūromis. Kūrinių daugiasluoksniškumas atskleidžia kūrėjos transformaciją ir unikalaus skambesio ieškojimą, kurį įkvepia ją auginančios muzikinės įtakos.

'Namai' EP marks the debut mini-album from 'thelastsunday'. It explores the complex relationship between humanity and its surroundings: encompassing nature, people and self. The sound of the mini-album is not easy to describe - it combines Lithuanian poetry-like lyrics with electronic and percussive rhythms, synthesised sounds, guitars, strings and brass instruments. The multi-layered nature of the works reveals the artist's transformation and pursuit of a unique sonic identity, inspired by her lifelong musical influences.

exclusive | The Jaffa Kid - Rism | Kulture Galerie pres. Digital Artefacts

"Rism" by The Jaffa Kid, the opening track from the tape "Phemeral" released as part of Kulture Galerie's Digital Artefact series, is a mesmerizing journey into the nostalgic yet timeless soundscapes of the 90s. This inaugural tape release, which pays homage to the diverse sounds of Electro, IDM, Jungle, and various experimental genres, aptly uses the analog warmth of tape to enhance its aesthetic appeal.

The Jaffa Kid, known for his contributions to labels like 030303, Dischi Nottetempo, and Gated Recordings, expertly crafts "Rism" by blending breakbeat influences with a serene ambient mood. The track's deep synth lines create a lush, immersive atmosphere, while the acid bleeps punctuate the soundscape with a retro-futuristic touch. This seamless fusion of elements showcases The Jaffa Kid's ability to polish the best aspects of classic electronic music, making them resonate powerfully in the present.

"Rism" stands out as a melodious and evocative piece, setting a high bar for the rest of the EP. Its intricate layering and careful attention to detail result in a track that is both a nod to the past and a fresh, contemporary listening experience. For fans of the 90s electronic era and newcomers alike, "Rism" on the "Phemeral" tape is a beautifully crafted opener that promises a compelling auditory journey.

Longhaul 034 - London Modular Alliance

The 'Sail We Must' EP by Irish producer Signa Rust draws inspiration from Alfos, reflecting a mutual appreciation for slower-paced sounds around the 100/110bpm mark. Crafted primarily with analog gear, it's a track that embodies hope and is dedicated to Signa's late father. The saying "fail we may, sail we must," an old fisherman's adage, resonates throughout the work, honoring his lifelong career in the industry. The opening track unfolds with a 303 and a uniquely twisted synth arp, then shifts gears with the introduction of strings, infusing the piece with a sense of hope and serene joy. '13.0 TeV' begins with the characteristic 808 percussion sounds, mingled with dubby samples that create a Rastafarian ambiance, followed closely by the 303's simmering acidity, before escalating with a distorted pad sequence. The EP concludes with Will Flisk's remix of '13.0 TeV'.

Just in time for the onset of summer, Break Mode returns with a long-awaited single. Originally slated for his upcoming release, "Televisions," it didn’t quite fit with the rest of the tracks. However, BoR crew members and friends who listened insisted it be released. Party tested, approved, and here it is! Break Mode's tribute to one of his favorite coming-of-age shows: the ever-Balearic, krauty, sun-chasing anthem, "My So Called Life."

This is one of the best house songs ever made part of the "French House" movement.

Justine Sainte - L'Amour Français  - (Original Mix Classic Anthem )

Onwards, through the darkness and into the great, desolate beyond. Looking backwards he could see the stars, the distant shimmering lights flickering amidst a galaxy one million miles away from the moon. They were climbing to the top of the mountain across the dense, bleak outback of a planet miles away from earth. There was a cold breeze in the air, one of which they had never felt before back at home. It was foggy, harsh and left a bad taste in the mouth as they continued to trudge slowly forwards...

Alliance Upholstery is a great name for a record label. Little more needs to be said than that however we will proceed. Up next on the label is a split EP which is perfectly apt for the last day of winter, a sun kissed affair offering a warmth and insight into the season which lies around the corner. Roy Comanchero's "Moon Hike" is pure bliss.
