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.

Beatroots takes us journeying through a multi-genre full length feature, "Rekindle". Exploring trip-hop and bass music interwoven with dubstep and half time drum & bass. Rhythmic playfulness a plenty, mood swings and subtle sound design experiments that intermingle between the grooves and chord play. An emotive motion stimulus containing vibes to suit all listeners. 
The title track features vocals sang by, Alice Hazel, recorded at Beatroot's home studio in Mid-West Wales. The vocals are about rekindling relationships and motivating good, wholesome energy in to our daily actions amongst the people we share time with. 
Wishing you well journeying through the places this collection may take you. It's a change in direction in many ways, but holds steadfast to the Beatroots feeling and intention. Moods, steady grooves & perpetual movement. . .
