Happiness Therapy 09 : House Of Universe

‘Dreams of empty spaces’ is the second release from Electro Label Suborder. With that new EP, French based producer NGA doesn’t bother about flourish and goes straight to the point. Expect nothing but 3 dancefloor killers. Every track is a pure piece of Minimalistic Electro which will perfectly fit in every highskilled DJ set. Whatever the side you choose to play, you can count on that mix of metallicbasslines, 808 drums and hypnotizing keyboards, to activate clubbers body mechanics.

More VA action as the series continues with another instalment. As is tradition at OEW, four heavy hitters grace the newest plate. Enlisting rising talents and familiar faces alike, the Witness surveys all, cherry-picking another clutch of intrepid dancefloor navigators for the label.Asphalt DJ tees off with a shadowy, driving tripper. Flush with insistent throb and a spectrum of proggy flourishes, it’s properly hypnotic fare. De Lichting member RDS, on the other hand, opts in favour of deep space projection. ‘TH Only’ is a pristine transmission; deep groove and widescreen scope primed to soundtrack imagined interplanetary expeditions.Making nocturnal manoeuvres with a touch of grit, Hypercolour and Glass Table co- founder Ste Roberts goes off on another tangent entirely. ‘Tune Pitch Decay’ is as dusky as it is propulsive; tough and cavernous for the duration. Made of uneasy soundscapes and half-time, rolling drums, Amsterdam local Tammo Hesselink finally rounds things off on an abstract, downtempo tip.Artwork & Design by Susanne Janssen.

When is the future? She was last seen looking for a way to pass that one testpressing to a DJ in the club, dancing with her girlfriends and stayed at T's flat while we were all overfeeding Frida the cat. I said I don't have an electric grinder. We bumped into her dad, I pretended that I understood what they spoke about (I kind of did), then biked away and contemplated fun she strived to have and to provide. She came back early though. Shjva hails from Lutsk, Ukraine and organizes parties and get-togethers in Warszawa now. Her sound is supposed to be minimal yet at times gently overwhelming (spores! spoooores! the room is suddenly full of spores!). She's 1/2 of analogue live duo ПЛАН and will pinch you when you're not looking.

Dutch master of aethereal atmospheres Bohm is back on EYA’s sister label Lonewolf with the missing piece of his ‘Leaving Earth’ series. A1 ‘Stars and the Sun’ is a slow-break meditative number, while “Move over” is bleepy and playful.B1 “Phasmofonia” is a spooky, haunting and nervous ready-for-dancefloor track. Closing the artist’s journey to vast galaxies is “Robot Heaven”, an emotional electro trip of the highest order.
