Dutch producer Nordfold returns to Anjunadeep with the release of his new double-cut ‘Letter To Lillehammer / First’. The latest in a series of EPs on Anjunadeep, this new offering demonstrates Nordfold’s flair for intricate sound design - a flair that most recently saw his track ‘Down Memory Lane’ supported by the likes of Nick Warren, Eelke Kleijn and BBC Radio 1’s Phil Taggart.

A standout moment from James Grant & Jody Wisternoff’s set for Anjunadeep’s Open Air Prague event, the title track first made an appearance on the duo’s ‘Anjunadeep 12’ compilation earlier this year. ‘Letter to Lillehammer’ leads with soft piano melodies whilst B-side ‘First’ features a warm vocal loop and intricate percussive rhythms.

Nordfold - Letter To Lillehammer

Trilucid have become firm favourites with Proton Music after their September 2019 "Glint" and May 2020 "Astral" EPs. Remixes for Pole Folder, Petar Dundov and Rick Pier O'Neil have been immaculate additions as the UK based duo now return with their third original outing and the twin-track "The Loved Are Never Lost".

The title track is a beautifully crafted offering. Particularly poignant for Andy, one half of the Trilucid duo, the melancholic atmosphere is infused with gloriously imagined melodies that evolve effortlessly throughout the piece. Redolent in rich reverbs and delays, a delicate percussive motif hits its stride post-breakdown as a series of swells, pads and white-noise effects add depth. A rolling percussive groove and bouncing bassline sequence then add dancefloor energy in a timeless classic. The strong rhythmic foundation of "One Week Off" creates a sublime cadence in the early phrasing as soaring pads create spine-tingling soundscapes with their epic chord progression. Counterpoint melodies rise out of the rhythmic bedrock, making their presence felt as melodies rise and fall in filtered waves. Emotion pours out of the breakdown before the third movement provides a reprise of the melodies found in the earlier stages.

On remix duties, Vinicius Souza returns to Proton Music with his RIGOONI moniker after a stellar reworking of Savvas' "Reminisce" in February 2022. Having already seen his work a regular on the likes of Anjunadeep, Kindisch and Roger Martinez's Higher States, the RIGOONI remix takes "One Week Off" through its paces via a chunky rhythmic groove and deep, thumping kick, as familiar refrains from the original flow gently across the rhythmic framework. Before long, a sumptuous new melodic refrain makes its presence felt, meandering gently across the 7-minute interpretation. Paying tribute to Trilucid's soundscapes, the track effortlessly blends a swathe of new sound effects and additional production work with remix components to create a delightful new interpretation.

Contributor to a half-century of production credits via the likes of the "Geometria", "Aura Tears" and three-volume "Fantasy" series, Michael A has been a regular on Proton Music since February 2017's "Bright Hope". A prolific artist with further credits on the likes of Sudbeat Music, Replug and his own Genesis Music, the Belarusian returns with a trademark reworking of "The Loved Are Never Lost" that captures the sensitive melodic character of the original while transforming it into a thumping club-friendly groover that drives forward through cadenced bass groove and ticking percussive top-line. Melodies from the original emerge through the dense soundscape as a new rhythmic cadence is created courtesy of the glockenspiel sounding motif that runs through the latter stages. White-noise swells and fizzing effects add to the atmosphere in a sparkling new interpretation.

A tender reminder, Trilucid eloquently illustrate that "The Loved Are Never Lost" with additional contributions from RIGOONI and Michael A.

“When I was a kid I was spellbound by this book called “Where the wild things were“, about a naughty kid who sales away to some faraway island and gets declared king by a gang of huge hairy creatures. Spike Jonze’s awesome movie interpretation, which came out about 10 years ago, kicks off with an incredible haunting female humming melody (Karen O - Igloo) which really caught my attention. 

After the success of mine and James’ Xinobi remix a few years back, in which the main hook is a looping female hum of similar qualities, I couldn’t help but wonder how this movie intro voice would work in the context of a club track. As I was working on some ideas with this, my daughter came downstairs to the studio and muttered the immortal line “This sounds like a night whisper“. Feeling a rush of inspiration and clarity, James and I knocked together an early demo which was first dropped at Anjunadeep Gramps in Miami 2018. Following a couple of years road-testing, sample clearance/replay, and endless tweaking, we finally nailed it in time for inclusion on Anjunadeep 11 - a great bit of exposure for this album’s lead track“

One of the most exciting new artists on the storied Anjunadeep roster, UK-bred / Cincinnati-based producer Marsh (aka Tom Marshall) soars into autumn with the release of his new album ‘Lailonie.’

The LP is a testament to the healing and spiritual power of music in the face of tragedy, coming together in the wake of the unexpected passing of a beloved family member. 

Written over the past three years, the album is inspired by this and other impactful life experiences, along with some of the beautiful places Tom has visited whilst producing the album.

“Lailonie’, pronounced ‘Lay-lah-knee’, has been a safe place for me to express a multitude of feelings, moments and memories I’ve experienced over the last three years. The album is a series of snapshots taken at different points as I’ve processed moving to a new country, getting married, traveling to different places. I’ve also experienced the pain of loss. We unexpectedly and suddenly had to say goodbye to Maddy’s Mom Carme at the end of 2018. I’ve had to rapidly learn how to love and stand by Maddy as we process this pain. We live in a world with so much going on. I think it’s important to have a safe place where you can go to catch your breath, process life and grow.  Lailonie has been that place for me. I hope it can be that place for you.” 

‘Lailonie’ features collaborations from a wide array of talented artists including organic house music producer Wassu, soulful, jazzy vocalist Leo Wood, UK producer Phenoir, Cincinnati-based vocalist Mariel Beausejour, Austin-based songstress Mimi Page, and progressive house producer Forerunners. 

Marsh’s music has been supported by the likes of Joris Voorn, Kölsch and Rufus Du Sol, along with Pete Tong, Danny Howard and Phil Taggart at BBC Radio 1. On the live side, Marsh has performed at esteemed venues on both sides of the Atlantic, including Printworks London and The Brooklyn Mirage.  
With ‘Lailonie’ Marsh continues to tell his story of healing and inner peace through his enchantingly deep and progressive sound, and looks set to follow in the footsteps of fellow Anjunadeep alumni such as Lane 8, Yotto and Ben Böhmer on his rise to the top of the dance music world. 

‘Lailonie’ is out now on Anjunadeep.
