For his second EP on VOITAX, Dara Smith @darasmith now returns with five beautifully crafted tracks that he titles »Augmented Fantasy«. While following a similar approach, he does not fail to expand his repertoire of celestial dream-like atmospheres, which he carefully surrounds with a whole variety of vocals, and accurately placed broken drum patterns. In addition to his own singing, Arad also presents two impressive collaboration tracks, in which one of them features the voice of Stine Omar, also widely known as one half the Berlin-based pop duo EASTER. Driving rhythmics and processed, grainy vocals turn this piece into guaranteed hit material. Another collaboration with the befriended vocalist and music producer Nina Hynes serves as a touching closing chapter for this brilliantly produced, eclectic 5-tracker. All pieces are perfectly glued together while keeping their very individual character and soundscapes. The listener is certainly left with an augmented fantasy, as well as a curiosity to hear more to come from the Irish talent.

VOI 028 A3 Arad | Gravedad Nos Dobla

Pure Space returns with our final release of 2022, delivered by none other than Zara - a warm light shining from Naarm (Melbourne, Australia).

Crafted in the midst of Australia’s last summer, these tracks capture the blissful and euphoric feeling of warm weather and the potential it brings…

Starting on an ambient note and progressing to drum & bass, the release seeks to take listeners on a transcendental journey to a freaky realm.

We start with Pirr, a track representative of dawn and the new beginnings it brings. It’s an eerie, yet anticipatory feeling lingers in the air as the rising sun diminishes the darkness and reveals the beauty of the landscape. Soft kicks coupled with bird song gently grasp the attention, effortlessly drawing you into the release.

Guitar and reverb drums define the second track, Idyll. Switching the mood to melancholia where the track meanders around floaty vocals creating a gentle fluidity throughout.

Entering the DnB realm, Quixotic combines driving hi-hats, wubs, bass to instigate movement. The floating female vocals carry you through the track guiding you on what feels like a utopian dream.

Synthesised drums are combined with heavy bass, arps and breaks to represent the peak of the journey. A chaotic, albeit warm track with and trippy moments in time.

As the sun sets once again, the arc of the journey ends on acid synths, arps, claps and hi hats on Elysium. Transporting the listener into a sleep, a moment of peace or back down to earth.

SIRIUS é a faixa que dá inicio ao projeto "NOMMO" que consolida a parceria de @evehive e @kontronatura que vem se desenvolvido desde 2021. A dupla traz uma mistura Afrofuturista de Club Music, Techno Percussivo entre outros ritmos que se unem a sonoridade brasileira incluindo funk BR e o samba.

"NOMMO is the new project that solidifies the partnership between Evehive and Kontronatura, a collaboration that has been evolving since 2021. The duo brings an Afrofuturistic blend of Club Music, Percussive Techno, and various rhythms, merging with the Brazilian sound including Funk and Samba. In the Dogon Cosmogony, Nommo represents an androgynous twin entity from the Sirius star, believed to have imparted astronomical knowledge to the Dogon people. As trans individuals on a journey of self-discovery, they draw inspiration from this ever-transforming dual energy."
