Sleep Seed

'Creation is Creation', out February 25th on @gravitas-recordings, is a philosophical inquiry regarding the alchemy of creativity. Inspired by nature, @somatoast makes use of the natural world to serve technical, musical purposes. Seed pods make shakers, and icicles are a percussive ensemble. This electro-acoustic fusion spans six original tracks and four remixes– marking another unique development in Somatoast’s ever-evolving sound.

'Tapping in Boyd Hill' introduces the album with its sweeping aural environments and grounding tapping that begins the story of 'Creation is Creation', which is that human creativity is the same force of all creation. The tapping heard in the track was recorded live in Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Working with deliberate focus and a taciturn presence, Shapesift has been steadfastly designing and minting a bespoke catalog of psychedelia-infused electronic music. Across several previous releases, he’s experimented with potent blends of contemporary sound design and time-tested, narrative songwriting. With a superb consistency across his productions, he’s got a firm hold on the ears of his contemporaries, and as such, The Rust is incredibly excited to host his most recent release, Attic Salt.

Attic Salt has all the hallmarks of Shapesift’s notable production palette coupled with a vibrant maturation in his arrangement capabilities and creative risks. Fusing psybient rhythms and melodic tropes with high-octane bass synthesis is a bridge between two often disparate genre umbrellas, and yet this unusual methodology is precisely what struts his dialed-in compositional finesse. Taking the path less traveled, Attic Salt traverses both cerebral and feisty atmospheres, displaying a powerful handling of force and precision with stunning clarity. For appreciators and collectors of niche and novel electronic music, Shapesift’s Attic Salt should be the next addition to your growing collections.

Written, mixed and mastered by Shapesift.

The contemporary cross-pollination of electronic genres and styles has a way of bringing out the very best of daring, boundary-pushing musicians and creatives. Hailing from Essenbach, Germany, the contemporary producer and songwriter duo Dysfunctional Family has a bevy of obvious talents all suffusing together; from synth work to drum programming, harmonic interplay, and the massaging of the vibe, their work has a way of setting the bar a few notches higher, and is consequently gestating a particularly driven sound. As a result, The Rust is extraordinarily excited to present their latest minted works, the 10-track LP A Day At The Beach.

Walking through the front door of the album puts the listener on prime, beachfront real-estate; A Day At The Beach is quintessentially a collection of downbeat, IDM-infused tracks that flip between pulsating low end and extremely lush compositional dialogue. The overarching musical narratives are brought to life through potent Reese synthesis and hyper-dextrous percussion anchored to the interplay of chords, leads, lone piano lines, and a panoply of glitch motifs and manipulated audio artifacts. The beauty of the album is both its expansive palette and it's incredibly tight songwriting fundamentals, showcasing a creative mind that's as compositionally focused as it is exploratory, and the marriage of risk and reward plays out across every single track on the LP. Regardless of where your tastes lay on spectrum, A Day At The Beach has the right blend of ingredients and right attitude to appeal to any and all ears and minds at large.
