Life and Death welcome Italian artist Whitesquare for a fantastic debut on the label that includes a remix from boss DJ Tennis. 

Whitesquare hails from Rome and runs his own Lyase Recordings while also releasing on Freerange and VOD. Those are perfect foils for his always characterful, cosmically infused house, techno and disco grooves which come with plenty of synth colour and timeless qualities. Always folding his own influences in with classic tropes, his genre-spanning productions and DJ sets have made him a key underground figure since first emerging in 2012. 

‘Visual Distortion of Reality’ kicks things off with a brilliantly rugged bassline underlining loose hits and drum fills. A robotic acid line takes the track far into the future and primes it for real dance floor destruction. The excellent ‘Not Moving’ is a spaced out electro styled cut with lithe drums and sleek synths journeying into the cosmos. Another killer bassline brings things to life in real style as you’re taken ever higher. Lastly, ’Jasmine’ is another trip to the stars, with a squelchy bassline and crisp snares impossible to ignore as they ride on perfectly programmed drums. This one gets a subtle Re-Match from DJ Tennis who layers in a little more synth drama and darkness as a result. 

This is a stylish, cinematic EP that voyages to the outer edges of our galaxy in thrilling fashion.

Visual Distortion Of Reality

[LAD046] Whitesquare - Jasmine

Höga Nord is a label which has gone from strength to strength over the past few years with a 'rules are there are no rules' music policy. Whether releasing prog rock, 80s tinged electro or cosmic disco, there seems to be no genre that Höga Nord isn't prepared to tinker with in looking for that perfect sound. Latest in their catalogue is Global Music's - Hither Green/Shelley.
Much in the same way that London's Hither Green sits on the edge of Lewisham and Deptford, Global Music's Hither Green sits on the edge of Jungle and Breakbeat. Whether it's the Think or the Amen, it's warm and seems to take a sideways glance at the mid 90s rave scene while taking in influences like Aphex Twin and LFO. 
The artist themselves are cloaked in mystery. Little is known about them apart from the fact that they are from Gothenburg.
We can conject that they were likely listening Nicky Blackmarket Tape Packs and watching youtube clips of raves at Dreamscape and Labyrinth while producing this fantastic double sider. At a time where there seems to be a collective desire to go back to the promised land, this EP lays down impressionist soundscapes of the past, but reinterpreted to send us into the 2020s not forgetting our rave roots, but embracing the future. 7" out August 30th , pre- orders taken at: https://hoganordrekords.bandcamp.com/album/hnr031-hither-green-shelley-pre-orders-taken-releasedate-2019-08-30
