Gappa G - Wow, This is Rude!
Madcap - Beautiful minimalistic atmospherical vibes - one for the early hours of the morning!!! Great look Top Drawer!!!
DJ Silvahfonk (iChi One) – Seriously Impressed 
Mizeyesis: WOW. While the creativity of the remixes by Lucas, Strange Rollers and Eddie Voyager showcase the diversity of EDM production, the original is a DNB masterpiece of bass, space, and high class minimalism. This came just in time as I will be putting this tune in an exclusive mix."
Tariq (Hush Magazine / Future Jungle Blog) 10/10 Its so true that whatever Gav Ley turns his hands to, genre and production wise, it will always be a quality and this hits the mark in every way
2 Bad Mice (Moving Shadow) -  Nice variety of mixes but the Lucas mix is my fave. Reminds me of something we may have released on Moving Shadow many years ago

Gav Ley - Revelation (Vocal Free Version) [Free Download]

From the new Ekoplekz LP 'Bioprodukt' out 16th June 2017

Ekoplekz returns with his fourth album for Planet Mu, in the shape of 10-tracker "Bioprodukt". The unique lo-fi, woozy sound of Bristol's Nick Edwards stays intact while he veers towards the nineties for inspiration: the bleep and bass sound of the north of England is one touchpoint and the acid gurgles of the 303 are another.

While the murky lo-fi production levels and evocative melodies remain, they are now bolstered by a more muscular rhythmic chassis. Snappier kicks and snares mingle with dense layers of percussion and deep undulating sub-basslines adding a funkier edge, as typified by opening track "Elevation" where playful beats interlock with breezy keyboard flourishes to create something uncharacteristically upbeat. Similarly, the gentle, fluid motion of "Slipstream" and "Calypzoid" represent some of the most appealingly chilled grooves in the Ekoplekz canon to date.

But the darker-edged material remains. "Expedition" has a pensive, percussion-heavy feel whilst "Acrid Acid" is a dirt-encrusted slow-mo techno meltdown. "Transcience" displays the Ekoplekz trademark dub-fx in full flight over a driving lo-end, before "Descent" leads down to the final section, where the beats fade out, replaced by rippling layers of spectral ferric ambience on the epic "Low-X Over", before finishing with the radiant looped stasis of "Denier Daze".

The albums shifting, imperfect patterns and muted colours are visually mirrored in the beautifully realised sleeve by the Print Project.
