Following this "Slave To The Deck" pays homage to the dance floor with a vibrant Balearic spirit and the infusion of spiritual native sounds. This track is a minimalist percussion masterpiece, a testament to Jackspot's roots in the minimalist house scene. The organ sounds at the midpoint are hauntingly beautiful, sending shivers down your spine. It’s a journey that seamlessly bridges the dance floor and the reflective, conjuring the ethereal tones of Portishead and Massive Attack.

To complement this journey, the EP features two remixes from talented Traum artists who have recently released their own solo EPs. Kawari’s remix of "Supernova" brings an upbeat tempo, blending in a boundless sense of optimism that propels the track into new territory.

The second remix is delivered by pørtl, formerly of the post-rock band "There's a Light". Their take on "Supernova" strips it down to a more straightforward yet dreamy version, skillfully merging two contrasting worlds into one. This blend results in a subtle but captivating tension that keeps listeners hooked.

"Luna" the second original track on the EP, opens with a cinematic and slow-motion feel, reminiscent of a movie soundtrack. As the track progresses, whispered vocals and elegant, winding sequences weave through, bringing a subtle yet captivating sensuality. The piano melody that eventually emerges serves as the final, perfect touch, completing the track’s intricate soundscape. "Luna" is a delicate journey that resonates with a deep sense of togetherness and joy. It’s a moody house anthem crafted for those who appreciate the emotional depth and introspective vibes of electronic music.

The EP's opening track, "Supernova", starts with a subtle and controlled energy, a quiet restraint that hints at the explosion of sound that is about to come. Gradually, it builds into a powerful force, breaking down into countless intricate digital fragments, which then reassemble into something mighty and intense. "Supernova" is truly an emotional rollercoaster, maintaining tension from the very beginning to its final, resonant notes.

L´esprit De L´escalier

Metaphysical Orchestra

Mario Hammer And The Lonely Robot - Metaphysical Orchestra (Traum CD36)

Originally conceived as a Royal Ballet-commissioned collaboration between composer Max Richter, choreographer Wayne McGregor and artist Julian Opie, Max Richter’s gorgeous score to ‘infra’ is deservedly given life of its own in this album-length release from FatCat’s instrumental/orchestral imprint 130701 Records.

The initial setting for ‘infra’ was as a ballet - written in autumn 2008 and premiered in November of the same year at The Royal Opera House in London – although here Richter’s score is given the full scope of a standalone new album. Expanded and extended from the original piece, ‘infra’ comprises music written for piano, electronics and string quintet, including the full performance score as well as material that has subsequently developed from the construction of the album – more a continued reference to the ballet than as a “studio album” in the strictest sense. The composition resonates with Max’s characteristic musical voice – majestic, involved textures; fluent and sweeping melodies; an enigmatic and inherently intellectual understanding of harmonic complexities that compels and mesmerizes.

Richter’s work on the ballet came initially from McGregor’s invitiation, a request for 25 minutes of music for his piece, inspired by T.S. Elliot’s ‘The Wasteland’ and named after the Latin term for ‘below’. This eventually became more collaborative as the project developed – Wayne would ask for Max to extend or alter certain passages of music in accordance with his own amendments to his choreography and concept, whilst logging the whole process for a BBC documentary (broadcast, along with the ballet in full, on BBC2 in November 2008). The dance performance was backed with digital images created by Julian Opie – observational scenes of street life, haunting and curiously balletic despite being of the everyday – and Max’s score is an appropriately close reference to the traveling theme:

“I started thinking about making a piece on the theme of journeys. Like a road movie. Or a traveler’s notebook. Or like the second unit in a film - when the scene has been played, and the image cuts away to the landscape going by. This started me thinking about Schubert's devastating and haunting "Winterreise" (Winter Journey), so I used some melodic material from Schubert as a found object in parts of my new piece.“

The recording of ‘infra’ took place in one day at London’s AIR Studios – recorded onto 2” tape, engineered by Nick Wollage and overseen by Max - before a return to the mixing studio (Max’s StudioKino and Trixx in Berlin) for Max’s typically intricate and lengthy process of crafting completed pieces from the recordings.

This Autumn German producer Ryan Davis returns to Anjunadeep with his exquisitely crafted mini-album ‘Home’. Awash with analogue sound design, organic field recordings, and digital sampling, each track on Davis’ mini-album unites the man-made and the natural to evoke his understanding of Home - something that is simultaneously within us and around us. 

Opening number ‘Shift' represents all that is constantly changing as we traverse time, the subtle alterations in our day-to-day reflected in the track’s understated piano lines and immersive sound design. Conversely, lead track 'Alow’ is indicative of those vast emotional shifts that are often felt more than they are seen; "it is about feeling powerless in one moment but then having the power of starting all over and do it better this time.” The swelling tension and release heard in Davis’ ‘Ode’ is a short testament to the unsurity of life - "the breakbeat and the noises describe that life isn't a straight path but more a way with a lot of options to choose where to go next, and things we can’t predict”. Inspired by the raw power of nature, ‘Obsidian’ is the clubbiest cut on the release, utilising harsh field recordings to mould hard kicks and percussion. The arbitrary cuts and breaks in ‘Cyclus’ symbolise the random, cyclical nature of our lives, whilst ‘Dimmed’ is pure, steady piano piece, indicative of the sense of closure before we finally fall asleep.

At once both intimate and complex, ‘Home’ is a deep demonstration of the Davis' penchant for meaningful songwriting and evocative composition, out October 5th on Anjunadeep.
