"I was dancing when I was out, I was dancing when I was in. Is it strange to dance so late? Is it strange to dance so soon? Cosmic dancers always ball. Dancing with themselves, dancing space away. Right into the smallest hole a human brain can create: the inner cosmos, a psychedelic region, where time gets space and space turns to haze."

Well versed in the traditions of Berlin School and Krautrock, producer TM Solver knows a thing or two about taking listeners on a journey, or more precisely, ushering them into new musical spaces they might not have explored before. 

Having built an impressive catalogue of long players over the last 15 years, primarily for long-standing affiliates Syngate and its offshoot Luna, he now opens his psychedelic world to Berlin-based label R.i.O for a four-track EP titled Subtraktiv Additiv. With his haul of analog synthesizers he fashions a collection of absorbing rhythmic deviations that, on the flip, are twisted and morphed into new forms by a strong cast of remixers: Benedikt Frey, Mayo, O-Wells, Sunju Hargun and Red Axes.

PREMIERE: TM Solver  - 78¯ N 19¯E (Red Axes Remix) [R.i.O]
