very nice melody, simple and beautiful chords!

Purelink have emerged as underdogs of the Ambient and Downtempo scenes – the past couple of years has seen the group release a number of records which showcases a deep sense of understanding and ambition toward a genre which is often misunderstood and misheard.

Tommy Paslaski (aka Concave Reflection), Ben Paulson (aka Kindtree) and Akeem Asani (aka Millia) have been releasing music as Purelink – broadening the narrative around their sound as they weave intricate layers, samples and melodies together to create a new age world of their own making.

Their music is atmospheric and rooted in moments of personal reflection and self awareness. They rework material and samples to create something else entirely and the music itself is as much a soundscape or a backdrop to the world of the listener.

Recent releases have come on Peak Oil, UwU dust bath, Naff and Lillerne Tape Club.

Purelink: The Wednesday Alternative Mix

Morris Audio 124: Robert Frederik - Perkin EP
out mid November 2023

Robert Frederik is back on Morris Audio! After his first much acclaimed “Bokeh EP”, the young welsh artist with his distinctive vision of music and art presents 4 new tunes on his “Perkin EP”. Keeping things minimalistic, Robert has a very deep, calm yet lively sound that sometimes reminds us of some Cabaret Voltaire/Richard H. Kirk, early Warp’s Bleeps & Clonks, UK deep house from the late 90’s or Germany’s finest Smallville. It’s stripped down, warm, funky, modern deep House! Listen – enjoy – repeat!

Purelink have been described more than once as an "ambient boy band." (They themselves say "jam band.") It's not meant dismissively—the American trio purposefully mean to function as a band, even if their main instruments are laptops. Ambient might not quite cut it as a descriptor, though. The group's music crosses eras and scenes, touching on the late '90s clicks & cuts boom as well as the billowy ambient techno put out by labels like 3XL, West Mineral Ltd. and NAFF. 

Their most recent LP, Signs, released on enigmatic imprint Peak Oil (and one of our favourite albums of 2023), is especially impressive, made of stuttering rhythms and glassy textures. In other words, it's ambient-not-ambient. While members Concave Reflection, kindtree and Millia have all made excellent music on their own, something special happens when they come together.

Purelink's RA Podcast is another stellar contribution to our post-New Year's tradition, where we highlight a more laid-back sound to soothe weary minds and frazzled brain cells after the heavy holiday celebrations. This is 90-plus minutes of intricately textured downtempo, dub techno and even UK garage, all cut through with a floaty, almost drowsy quality, with plenty of exclusives and unreleased cuts from the likes of Nick León, James K, Downstairs J and more. It highlights Purelink's position as a bridger of worlds, sounds and tempos.

Amsterdam-based abh & Hoff, the masterminds behind the wonderful "Far Blue" record label and podcast series, curated our latest "Delayed with..." music tale.
Imagine drifting through a moonlit forest dappled with fireflies and the low hum of cicadas. That's the vibe – lulling, dreamy, and alive with subtle magic. Lush atmospheres unfurl like velvet curtains.
Four-on-the-floor rhythms pulse like a steady heartbeat, then melt into broken beats that pirouette like autumn leaves. Familiar names like Shoal and DJ Balduin shimmer like constellations while hidden gems flicker like fireflies and dance with melodies laden with unspoken intrigue.
The mix crescendos and takes a playful detour down an acid-tinged path. Imagine Alice tumbling down a rabbit hole of sound, where playful blips and bloops dance in the stardust. It's a whimsical prelude to the perfect finale – Leafar Legov's "Fade" washes over you like a warm wave, the perfect closing note to this auditory adventure.

Release date: 19 February 2024

French electronic artist Croquet Club, AKA Jeremy Villecourt drops the second single 'Love In Our Hands' from his anticipated upcoming album 'Fugue In Twilight'.

Croquet Club has been at the heart of Anjunadeep for the best part of a decade, after being discovered via Soundcloud and making his debut on the label in 2013 with his double AA side ‘Awake / Cardigan’. Since then, he has gone on to drop a variety of releases including the fan and tastemaker favourite ‘Love Exposure EP’. ‘Summer’ from that EP had its own summer renaissance last year on TikTok, after going viral on the platform. Croquet Club rounded out the year of 2023 with his ethereal and emotive instrumental track ‘Solace’.

‘Love In Our Hands' is a string-filled cinematic track that is full of emotion, and is teeming with gratitude, hope and the promise of new beginnings.

“It’s a song about self-healing and the love we all have inside us,” Jeremy says. "In this song my insecure, ego-driven self talks to the luminous, divine one. I could be talking to Love itself, as if it was a person or a sensible entity.”

'Love In Our Hands' is out now on Reflections.
