Tel Aviv's Nenor has released on the most illustrious of imprints like Moodymann's Mahogani Music, Dam Swindle's Heist Recordings, Strictly Rhythm and Defected, with a wide-ranging house sound fusing clever sampling with the sounds of vintage gear and rare synths.

He arrives on Burnin Music with a stunning quartet of deep grooves ready for balmy summer daze and nites.

The title track jams along with insistent Rhodes chords and dubby chords and drum fills that give a nod to his time spent living and recording reggae musicians in Jamaica, while 'Side Effect' heads into dreamier territory with its chuggy tempo, '70s film score strings, twinkling electric pianos and guitar glissandos.

'Start It Up' recalls golden age hip-hop with its taut drum break and melancholy key scales and chords, and 'Green Time' finishes off in beguiling style with a hypnotic and darkly-tinged tribal rhythm.

All tracks written, produced and mixed by Ronen "Nenor" Sabo except "Start it up" written by Lior Romano & Ronen "Nenor" Sabo.

Both equalling ten tracks each, the latter titled, Augmented Dreams explores the various, corners of sparse and minimal, electronic music. Including a few that don't shy away from the warmth of human vocals. "Begin Again" being the primary example here which we have the premiere for.
