It seems Gestalt Records are going to end the year on a strong note, not that anyone, keeping an eye on this bustling outfit, would expect otherwise. In just over 3 years of existence they have released a number of stellar EPs from producers with fresh ideas and elegant sounds. Encompassing trippy progressive, leftfield house, hypnotic breaks and everything in between - the Tallinn-based label has created a signature sound which we’re big fans of here at Bolting Bits. And it is obvious that the latest addition to their ranks will fit right in.

For their 25th release, Gestalt Records have recruited Ed Hodge, who has previously released on Distant Horizons, White Peach and Dansu Discs. Hailing from the city of Birmingham, he also makes up ½ of Mother Of Pearls, his partner being the impeccable Tom Jarmey. A true man of culture, Ed is a fully trained saxophonist/clarinettist and his output is laced with classical influences. And this release is a classic Gestalt Records 4-tracker - filled with surging beats, pacey atmosphere and progressive soundscapes.

Clocking in at just over 6 minutes, the title track ‘Zest’ was clearly created with a club setting in mind. The 127 BPM piece starts subtly but soon evolves into a rollicking number that features a number of ups and downs, sure to get listeners moving - whether that’d be on the dancefloor or under the table. The elevating synth line, coupled with relentless percussion and an obscure but catchy vocal sample holds ground and leads the way for the remainder of this forward-thinking release. Whether it’s the ethereal ‘Black Flag’, gritty ‘Genesis’ or acid-infused ‘The Secret History’, each track on the ‘Nassau’ EP features enthralling sound design and is ready to be put to the test, by the wide-eyed dancers around the world.

Times are unprecedented. We all have a basic understanding of the history of our planet, but now we are truly living in one of the darkest periods wherein we cannot see a clear path out. As an individual it often seems dishearteningly difficult to help aid in humanitarian efforts, but as we stand with Ukraine and understand the importance of assisting them in any way possible, we've decided to do our part by putting together a digital compilation entitled ‘Club Unity’.

It contains a diverse feast of artists that inspire us, and tracks that make you feel. Signature Haŵs vibrations touching on prog, trance and even reaching the realms of the jungle. But most importantly, all proceeds will go to the incredible platform 'WithUkraine', which consolidates international efforts in raising funds to provide humanitarian support to Ukraine and its people. 

As humans and music obsessives we stand in solidarity with life and not with those who are determined to irreparably damage the fragile fabric of humanity.

Forever grateful for all of your support and we send our love out to those affected. Huge thank you to all artists involved in the making of this compilation.

Haŵs 💛

PRE-ORDER: https://loveontherocks.bandcamp.com/album/moonrise-vii

Panorama Bar resident Paramida has announced her second EP, via her own Love On The Rocks imprint. The ‘Moonrise VII’ EP includes 3 cuts of hands in the air, good time house, F1 tunnel rave and emotional dream house and flaunts her signature take on colourful, trance-inflected visions of the dance floor.

EP opener ‘Sailor Moon House’ merges beautiful, colourful and chaotic energy. An infinity cruise of pure joy, it’s hyper-colour trance clouds break to a shiny new dawn of driving rhythms, acid bass hooks and searching sonar pings. 

"After hours of watching YouTube footage from early 90’s beach raves in Goa, I was inspired to embody this spirit and somehow bring if back,” Paramida says. “I’d spent years telling artists that want to release on LOTR to try and do the same, to soundtrack that moment of ecstasy at 8am as the sun comes, then I realised I should just do it myself. That's essentially why I started making music, to capture that moment and what it means to me. Sailor Moon House is exactly that.”

Ripping its way through the space-time continuum, Tel-Aviv based producers Asphalt DJ and Gzardin surface on Oddysee for the release of their anticipated debut outing, ‘Now & Zen’. The 4-track opening salvo embarks on a transcendental trip of deep and propulsive club bouncers. With the cuts firmly landing on the intersection of the 90s spectrum and fresh-minded sound design, the package offers a clear view of where the two newcomers are headed, as well as the Oddysee label.

Scandi-lous! We’ve got another other-worldly record for you, courtesy of who? Jeku! The man from Helsinki has given us a much-coveted gift, a gift that traverses incredulity yet still thankfully remains harnessed to the human realm. The story that started below the ozone layer has moved to the stratosphere. Transcendence is coming, and boy has he been busy.

No subterfuge, just a guy from the underground with two ears for unparalleled tranceability. No description, just listen and try not to ascend. It can’t be done. It’s Jeku for you.
