Pomme Rouge - Cut in Half EP (incl. Funkermonk & Etyen Remix)

Granny Crisp

PREMIERE: Pomme Rouge - Granny Crisp [Thawra Records]

Kiman opens proceedings with the self titled EP 'Cassiopeia' - A track that starts with a warm glow building to an ethereal theme. Accompanied by beautiful vocals & infectious chords, the laidback drums and smooth breakdown, Kiman's cool downtempo vibes works its magic
'Reversable' - the 2nd original track from the Italian, utilizes a deep groove as the foundation, underpinned by smooth synth chords that gradually ease their way to the summit. Unified by a deep kick drum and dusky atmospheric emotion, the composition climaxes by adding recurrent percussive elements and soft soaked melodies that come together to create a structured sphere of sonic satisfaction.

On Remix duties we welcome Minorah - a clinical young talent to emerge in the scene of late, he has enjoyed steady releases on Labo T & Sinners. His 'rework' of Cassiopeia is a musical journey, unified by a warm kick drum and atmospheric emotion, the track is a concoction of warm, deep bass and grooves, swirling pads, textured layers and stunning effects.

Cassiopeia

PREMIERE: Kiman - Cassiopeia [Somatic]

BLUE AWAKENING
----
Most people in the world are willing to perceive only the superficial levels of reality. They are afraid of awakening to the truth, focused on staying on the edge of what they just know rather than what they are born of. Getting stuck in a state of fear and ego. Avoiding their intuitions. The shift lies in a spiritual turn, the only way to connect to your inner self and experience a truly authentic life. This time with more ambient and electronic vibes taking the lead of the next musical journey, as we welcome into our WOOD the Italian producer known with the name of "RTIK" with a new brand episode called "Blue Awakening".

The Ep starts with "Forever, However Long Forever Is", a long intro track characterized by piano and string progressions and profound ambient textures that immediately narrate a deep story in constant evolution. The awareness that the world is moving in order to change. Consecutively as the second track, we have "Blue Awakening", another beautiful musical moment mostly dedicated to our most happy memories with a tiny rope of nostalgia. And to close off the Ep, another gem that suddenly leads the listener in a magical world, its name is "Nova". The result is a fantastic fresh episode defined by strong grooves and surrounded by hypnotic and authentic melodies.

Following releases on a plethora of great labels DJ AroZe & Mimram now check in to Somatic with a breathtaking vocal track called 'Close My Eyes'.
The duo have created something full of tension from the word go, as an atmospheric vibe runs throughout the track stripping back lucid elements at the same time, before the luscious pads grace the vibe and creating a blanket of warmth that wraps around the vocals.

On remix duties we welcome back label favourite Modeplex along with a name growing a fast reputation for outstanding vision & art is Hollt. We have also invited a very special young talent Illusory, who has been knocking out some incredible music this past year.

Close My Eyes [Hollt Remix

PREMIERE: DJ AroZe, Mimram - Close My Eyes (Hollt Remix) [Somatic]

Cameron Christian Samson was born in 1992 in Ceres, a small town outside of Cape Town, South Africa. The South African began producing music at the young age of 11-years-old curious to how electronic music was created. He was influenced by artists such as Benny Benassi, Laidback Luke, Fedde Le Grande and later Micky Slim, Nick Supply, Switch and Stupid Fresh. His father was a sound engineer for most of a 30 year long career in live events and as a young child he spent much time awed by 48 channel mixing desks and how every slider had a unique function. He spent much time producing in many genres such as electro, hip-hop, house, drum and bass, dubstep as well as psy-trance, each production a learning exercise, guiding him closer to a unique sound and style as well as tuning his ear. After 15 years of study and many years spent in almost every DAW that exists, Cameron Christian Samson is now producing a unique flavour of melodic techno, and deep house under the name of 'Rosenna Samson'. Rosenna is his grandmother's second name as a tribute to her memory. He creates every sound in every original production from scratch.  His style can be described as emotive and powerful. He enjoys to create hard, dirty 5am techno as well as deeper melodic grooves. He always enjoys to create a colourful composition and emotive nostalgic feeling.

Dissolv3d

PREMIERE: Melon Blush - Dissolv3d [Not Another]

Following her maiden contribution to our 300th milestone VA issued a couple of months ago, Berlin-based SKALA clocks in on Stil vor Talent with her debut solo effort, "Liquid Gold". A three-track alchemy of sultry atmospherics, shamanic brainwaves and further spaced-out, big-room-focused momentums, this EP resounds as a statement of style from a burgeoning artist in the process of establishing her non-pareil voice in our scene.

Breaking the EP in, the mystique-friendly title-track "Liquid Gold" taps in a seam of slo-burning, folk-informed house and laces it with future-ready engineerings. Imagine stepping in a smoke-shrouded den where your body and soul make one with that of the crowd's, glowing silhouettes stretching their odd contours out convulsive tides of stroboscopic lights and steamy emanations from the jam-packed engine room.

The second cut doesn't drift much farther from that sensually dark, night-loving ambience made hers by SKALA. Out of a similar palette of ominous machine spurts and hip-swaying, metronomic swagger, the vibes pour in to incendiary effect. "Ivory" rounds it off on an even wilder, more menacingly ambivalent note, doing the splits between a brittle, melancholy-infused melody and a trampling groove, tailored to march over the club with maximal tonnage.

The Selador Showcases…how do we love thee? Let us count the ways…

You know the drill – half a dozen hand-cut gems curated by those trusty Seladorian ears. There’s those that go stratospheric, those that find cult followings, and those that nestle in the back of your brain only to pop up unexpectedly months later and knock you for six.
So without any further ado, let’s get down to sonic business and once again, the challenge we've set ourselves is to whet your proverbial whistle in just ten words per track – and all without using the words ‘banger’, ‘anthem’ or referring to any bassline as ‘low slung’…

Libertad

PREMIERE: Murmusica - Libertad Feat. TAI, Tolga Bilgin [Sol Selectas]

Crosstown Rebels’ sub-label Rebellion returns with a fourth instalment of its ongoing SOULS series, with fresh tracks from a selection of exciting, up-and-coming talent.
Curated by label head Damian Lazarus, Rebellion’s excellent SOULS series has always transcended sounds and scenes to dig deep into the most forward-thinking new electronic niches. It has a deeply embedded spiritual theme, like most projects with which Lazarus is associated, and this volume again connects the dots between a number of innovative producers from across the globe.
Belgrade and Mykonos-based duo MĪMĪ x FY open up with ‘Robotic Mode’, linking with Estray for a silky synth- laced house cut that goes deep into a cosmic future. The deft chords, spoken words and sci-fi signifiers enrich the groove perfectly. Brazil's Vini Pistori is next with ‘Hypnotized’, a scintillating fusion of pixelated melodies and bright, starry-eyed chords over a drawn-out and languid groove that is perfect for the late-night hours.
Frequent collaborators MILI and Hoomance then step up with ‘Casa Mama’, a playful cut with a carnival feel thanks to the characterful horns which bounce about over the crisp drums. It's a track full of soul and sunshine that captures the joy of dancing outdoors. OMRI closes things with the rubbery bass and skewed synth futurism of his off-grid percussive masterclass, 'Funk Rhythm.’
Another taste-making statement from the label and Lazarus, Rebellion presents SOULS Vol.4 is loaded with the sounds of tomorrow across another excellently curated package.
