The second edition to the People & Places catalog is brought to us by Shjva, a Ukranian artist who has caught the attention of many over the last couple of years through a stream of self-released projects and additions to some of the most revered new labels across the scene.

Shjva’s s story continues on People & Place with her signature deep grooves that subtly transfix the listener. Northern Lights is a 3-track EP, lying on the peripheries of Trance, Acid, and Techno.

Shjva - Betatron [P&P002]

I was dancing when I was out, I was dancing when I was in. Is it strange to dance so late? Is it strange to dance so soon? Cosmic dancers always ball. Dancing with themselves, dancing space away. Right into the smallest hole a human brain can create: the inner cosmos, a psychedelic region, where time gets space and space turns to haze.

Berlin based producer TM Solver is such a kind of cosmic dancer. He has danced late. And so soon. Since 2008 he released yearly one, sometimes two albums via the German Berlin School dedicated label Syngate and its experimental subdivision Luna. Intensely meandering synthesizer journey music, that is pirouetting on inner universes, genuinely crafted in the tradition of Berlin School and Krautrock. You can catch the unearthly nuances of Can and the spaciously swinging psychedelic corners of Amon Dül, Embryo, Tangerine Dream, or Klaus Schulze. As TM Solver has been a lover of analog synthesizers for almost 30 years, all pulsates on analogue sound orbs under the zigzagging guidance of machines like Moog Prodegy, Korg MS20 and GRP A4, as well as state-of-the-art systems as ASM Hydrasynth and Korg Wavestate. When he got in touch with the Berlin club scene and all its propelling grooves in 2006, a new rhythmic universe joined his vast musical space of sound latitudes. “Tinkering around with sound structures is my thing. Leading the listener into a combination of music and sound spaces.“ he reveals on his emotive musical art. How affecting it works, is now displayed with four epic compositions for R.i.O., Berlin Wedding’s label of novel ways for caved rhythmic patterns. Grooving between 90 to 240 BPM, they offer a vast variety of emotional landscapes, slowing down, rolling up, drifting into genuinely layered tonality magic. Headspace music for vigilant wanderers. Utterly psychedelic and yet so clear. His R.i.O. debut “Subtraktiv Additiv“ comes with five additional remixes, fashioned by R.i.O. conspirator Benedikt Frey, Amsterdam based DJ and producer Mayo, “Die Orakel” magician O-Wells from Frankfurt, Siamese Twin Records co-runner Sunju Hargun, and the versatile club and beyond production duo Red Axes. They all respect TM Solver’s analogue zones and pitch them into the 115 to 130 BPM districts, while transcending his absorbing synth compositions into the world of nervous acid-laden ambient, slow-mo techno, industrial bass, post-trance, and all that hallucinogenic echo house. Nine subtle energy vibrations, epic and full of countless facets, shaped to turn on, tune in, and drop out.

After four years, De Lichting is back with a new double album: Drie Nul Drie!

This fresh addition to the infamous compilation series revolves around a central theme: The 303 Acid Bassline.

The double LP format has always been the weapon of choice for the crew when it comes to implementing diversity in their musical story.

Despite the 303 being a rather limited concept, everyone within the collective finds a unique way to approach this classic element that has been rinsed for decades.

From the typical techno bomb of “MJM002” to the sneaky after hours tech gem “5421”, or the Detroit influenced chill-out cut “Tool”, the album bursts with playfulness and creativity, while coming together logically sound wise.

Shjva - Suspiria Album (CA007)

@o-utlier 

The mountains were snow capped and stark in comparison to the radiant blue sky against they were perched. The sheer scale of their presence was magnificent and terrifying at the same time. It was enough to make you feel very, very small...

Overhead there were chemtrails, pale flakey white lines in the sky. However, there was not a plane to be seen.

As he strolled across the mountain tops, taking in the ever changing view, he began to wonder what it might be like to live out here in the middle of nowhere. For there was nothing but the pale blue, the thick white and a sense of beautiful, delicate isolation.

o.utlier is set to release a new album called 'Alaya', an excellent assortment of thoughtful Electronic music for reflective moments and finding clarity. This is atmospheric music at its very best.

PREMIERE: o.utlier - Isochrone [Appian Sounds]

As September 15 approaches, the eagerly anticipated launch of Never Late, a record label poised to extend the musical journey of our platform Delayed, draws near. A marvelous "Early Color" album by one of the label's co-founders, Aspetuck, is kicking off this promising debut. "Early Color" emerges as a ten-track opus showcasing an evolution in his craft, characterized by impeccable sound design and an inviting ambiance that seamlessly floats within an ambient and deep, low-slung, hazy house. 

A track designed to grace dance floors enveloped in the ethereal haze of smoke machines is undoubtedly a 'growler' - 'Why Yellow.' From its inception, two distinct characteristics have taken the forefront: a profound affection for the resonant warmth of analog sound and a prodigious mastery of intricate sound design. The track's undeniable charm is carried by an infectious bassline sequence, which, refreshingly, doesn't steal the spotlight. Instead, it graciously steps aside to allow the intricate subtleties and meticulously filtered nuances to take the lead, propelling the track forward with an unassuming confidence.

Why Yellow? 
Because yellow embodies happiness, optimism, joy, and friendship, these sentiments encapsulate the essence of Never Late's birth and aspirations. Just as the sun's rays puncture through clouds after a brief delay, Never Late emerges as a harbinger of positivity and camaraderie, akin to yellow's vibrant resonance. The future is indeed bright, painted with shades of promise. 
Never Late, just Delayed!
