Nimbo & The Space Cadet - Balderdash

@absalontunes

Reaching across the globe with ambitious appeal and obvious creative command, the Israeli producer Absalon has quickly found himself in the nexus of interest in novel electronic music, brandishing extraordinarily viscous compositions and stylized sound design. With a keen eye on appreciators of textured arrangements, The Rust is incredibly excited to present his latest release, The Mind EP.

Absalon’s music is defined by predominantly lush phrases and profiles, with a clear ear for modality and tonal relationships. The Mind begins and ends with the same emotive, melodious egress, with pulsing chords shifting into and out of the frequency spectrum. There’s a buoyancy to his songwriting that is demonstrably refreshing in a scene defined so often by sharp, razor-edged textures and attitudes, and the result is a vivacious and positively-charged collection of tracks that fuse precise engineering and emotional resonance with outstanding clarity. For anyone looking to balance out their listening catalog and find respite from the harsher sounds of contemporary offerings, look no further than Absalon’s The Mind EP.

Subverting compositional and design tropes each step of the way, the Zonra project has maintained a striking consistency in its escape from the norms of conventional electronic music. Straddled somewhere between the dance-centric sound of contemporary bass music producers and the aural experimentation developed by IDM pioneers, Jackson Hale achieves a stable balance between groove and intrigue with each subsequent release, moving that needle closer to either end whenever the need arises. In time-tested fashion, his latest LP is a work of beauty from every angle, and as such, The Rust is incredibly excited to premiere Time Is A Tool as our 61st label release.

Previous Zonra records have featured an amalgam of shredded synthesis, mean breakdowns, and carefully threaded melodic elements. Unsurprisingly, Hale flipped the script entirely for Time Is A Tool; The LP’s opening moments involve smooth harmonies egressing into smooth cadence, and that relationship carries on throughout each track. Choice waves of tension and release, told through the intentional splaying of tones and textures into glitched-out symphonies, creates a permeable catharsis within each fold of the record, slowly churning the listener towards the album’s zenith. Opting for slow, caressing tempos and chord phrases reminiscent of serene lullabies, the traditional throaty bass lines and hyper-compressed downbeats are put out to pasture in favor of a record filled to the brim with particularly intentional and resoundingly magical moments of introspection and rest. For those keen on finding their next sonic journey amidst a crowd with a dancefloor focus, Time Is A Tool is assuredly the album you’ve been searching for.

Visionary Shamanics is happy to present another epic psychedelically downtempo dubtastic shamanic psybass tribal multicultural ambient ethnic trip in :

VISION QUEST

Grooving tribal psydubass soulful ceremonies
Mindful meditation to levitate naturally
At one with the universal source
Shamanic journeying to otherworlds
A magical landscape of mystery
Magnificent hidden realms so trippy
Mythology of expanding cosmology
The archaic sacred hoop said unity
Flower of life symbolizing oneness
Conjuring the great thunderbird spirit
Forgotten magic realized once more blessed
Jungle elders in shamanic practices
Reach deep into the roots of wisdom
To interpret dreams and trances
Performing psychoactive rituals for vision
Shamanic healing for the souls mission
With visions and dreams talking to spirits
Always regenerating death, life and rebirth
In all that's holy in a mysterious search

VISION QUEST - VA

Seeded Vision - Andromeda Esoterica (OUT NOW on Vision Quest VA)

Dillard's 'Afterlife' LP remind us all to slow down, sit back, and sink in. A feature-length journey through the ebbing and flowing currents of atmospheric bass music, this nine-track collection draws its emotive hues from the colorful landscapes of melodic dub, mixing in soul-stirring organic, vocal, and instrumental elements laid atop warm basslines to tap into the essence of what it means to feel and move in a musical universe.
