Spekki Webu – Tenzan

#BLUEHOUR025

For the next Blue Hour Music chapter, a special friend of the label’s family is stepping in. Hailing from the city of Delft, Dutch composer Spekki Webu delivers ‘Tenzan’, a forceful 4-track EP which might be the producer’s most ambitious project to date. Spawned from a place of personal reflection, Tenzan is the result of the ongoing cycle of life that has been influencing Webu since his early years. This philosophy was heightened after a fascination for mountains and a series of dreams about enlightenment on top of a sacred hill. These dreams later became reality after witnessing a ‘Tenzan’ (translated as ‘heavenly mountain’) during a trip in the Japanese wilderness. The cycle of life as represented by the heavenly mountain formed the spiritual direction to complete the narrative for this long-running Blue Hour project - as the leaves fell into place a new cycle began. Aligned in force and vigor, the A-side takes off with ‘Okada’, a grooving tension builder led by ominous melodies that drift off into the depths of the forests. Entering a state of empyrean elevation, ‘Horizon’ is a dub-induced peak-time roller of monumental grandeur. On the B side, the gears shift as ‘Solaris’ unveils a contemporary reinterpretation of 90s acid trance, fusing psyche-warping panned drones and minimalistic drum programming set to make blood pressures rise. Coming full circle, ‘Eion’ delivers euphoric salvation with a pulsating bassline guided by dreamy, repetitive soundscapes that reach for atmospheric heights. Vertigo-induced and wisdom-fueled, Spekki Webu opens the portal to the next cycle of sonic exploration marking the 25th release on Blue Hour Music.

01. Urgula - Nodal Point
02. JX-216 - Dimensions
03. Muhammad Taha - Kaninchenkopf
04. Arof - 2D
05. M.R.E.U.X - GO-LA
06. Cyd - Steady

Time for another mini compilation, this time featuring three new artists Urgula, Muhammad Taha and M.R.E.U.X and three more already from the family JX-216, Arof and Cyd.

@Urgula opens fire with Nodal Point, a gummy techno exercise, precise and intense with a healthy dose of sci fi bleeps and a pristine sound design, especially on the stereo field.

Next comes the Californian @JX-216 with Dimensions, an energetic dancefloor bomb aimed for big room action.

@freshTaha provides Kaninchenkopf, with a hi-tech tool full of FM tones and a signature sound not often found in today’s standards.

@Arof comes next with 2D, a busy reverberated peak time track, full of texture and dreamy clouds of sound floating over a well crafted groove.

@M.R.E.U.X gives GO-LA providing the old school flavored cut with deep roots in the tradition but with a futuristic twist.

@Cyd signs the epilogue of the collection with Steady changing the style drastically, slowing down the pace in an astounding combination of dub vibes and synth waves rhythms, with an acid surprise in the middle, a perfect techno ballad for open spaces in this torrid summer.
