[ESP108] LORD OF THE ISLES - Night Of The Endless Beyond - 2xVinyl/Digital LP
—
Release November 18
—
'Night Of The Endless Beyond', the sophomore album by Lord Of The Isles AKA Neil McDonald for the ESP Institute, had almost become a mythical piece of work. The tracks very slowly crept into formation from the lowest depths of 2021, and once the completed album finally made the leap from creation into manufacturing, an entirely new onslaught of follies and delays awaited at the pressing plant. We began to laugh, for not only did Mario Hugo’s otherworldly sleeve artwork visually translate this music so well, but it was an uncanny premonition to the album being lost in space, falling through a black hole, evaporating into the aether like a dream that never really happened. But, at long last, ground control has confirmed contact! It did happen, it will arrive, and it’s not a myth. Listening to 'Night Of The Endless Beyond' now feels like the return of a strayed friend, one whose distance left us pining for an embrace. Although this Techno relies on unassuming means, there is a remarkably complex and persuasive emotional statement embedded here, insisting we learn to endure the long game and allow ourselves patience to investigate and appreciate the minutiae contained not only within the notes, but their negative space. From its introduction, through its mellow crests and valleys, there is a conveyance of restraint — subtle dynamics that quietly beg for attention, repetition so hypnotic that imaginary melodies are inescapable, transient peaks so deliberately scaled that we mourn the subsequent decay. In accordance with Neil’s ESP debut, 'In Waves', we never feel attacked by instrumentation but shielded from sharp edges, able to step inside the music, breathe the air it occupies and know its true intentions, whether bright or bleak. “The truth of the universe is waiting … the truth of what is … it’s all going to go away … everything … into blackness … the void … and nobody is in charge.” “…and what do you do with that?” We stare long into the 'Night Of The Endless Beyond' and answer… “You smile.”

Jackmin (real name - Mindaugas Juodeikis) is a DJ and promoter who started his career back in 2005 in Kaunas. Mindaugas' musical style was formed while dancing at the then legendary progressive, deep house parties, and behind the DJ decks he was known as a representative of deep house, jackin house styles. During many years of playing, Jackmin was a resident of clubs and bars in Vilnius, Kaunas, Šiauliai, played at such festivals as Sūpynės, Granatos, on radio shows and curated the Spicy Sugar series of events and podcasts.

Over the years, the musical style has correlated with trends, but has always maintained a positive deep, spacy sound, placed in the framework of house, disco genres and maneuvering between modern and 90s sound.

Named as a "sun and see music pioneer", Jackmin maintains tradition and sound and presents a summer house mix that takes you to the sea and far into the African jungle.

DIASPORA

JUST CAN'T STOP

Amor In Motu

Born from the collaboration between Amadei and Cortex Power, this two-track EP pulls you in from the very first second with its emotional depth and immersive flow. Both tracks blend silk-smooth vocals, finely textured synth arps, and minimal yet perfectly targeted drum work to create an atmosphere that is both romantic and deeply electronic.

The EP takes the listener on an inner journey while keeping the energy alive on the dance floor. Rising and falling emotional waves merge with delicately crafted production details, telling a story through sound. It moves between melancholy and hope, warm and serene at one moment, subtly groovy the next.

It also carries the strength of a true DJ-set finisher: a final touch that leaves a mark, gathers all the emotion, and signs off the night with intention.
