Leaving Earth Part 2

Everything is vibrations.The infinitely deep chaos of things rests on the tiny and fragile chemical balance of the depths.Eliaz traps us in his raw and introspective groove with complex and saturated signals that call for bodies motions. He gives us a key to read and decript the Mercury Frequencies.

Joel Brittain's music is defined more by what it isn't than by what it is. This is breakbeat... but not, house... but not, electro... but not. Hell, there's even a hint of prog in these expansive, indefinable tracks that switch-up in oh-so-unexpected ways.Perhaps it's because this US-born, UK-based producer has been bubbling in various scenes for so long. Brittain had a string of releases in the 2000s on labels like Wrong, Reverberations, and Tango, plus ran his own label Nonsuch Recordings.But all the while he was busy making music, refining a vast cache of unreleased tracks.It’s from this treasure trove that States of Mind draws, but it still sounds like it could have been made this year.So yes it's breakbeat, yes it's house, and yes it's electro... and it's all the better for it.

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.

Marie Montexier, head of Paryìa Records, releases the label’s first EP by German-Turkish artist a.b.u.3.0.3. Creating a range of slow and fast rhythms while mixing different genres from experimental structures to floor fillers, Paryìa I doesn’t only highlight a personal and intimate side of a.b.u.3.0.3.’s work but also Marie’s sense for crossing genre boundaries.Influenced by his father’s culture, a.b.u.3.0.3 blends elements of traditional Anatolian folk with electronic music that shaped his youth. He combines bass-heavy techno rhythms with deep acid patterns, letting his arrangements oscillate between nostalgic moods and contemporary sounds.

Wonky minimal and house from Lucretio & Omar Akhrif and Darren Allen marking label's 20th vinyl release.

French producer, DJ and RDV (Recit de Voyage) label owner returns to the label this April with her ‘Thoughts Of Day’ EP, accompanied by remixes from Giegling’s Koreander and Fred P. Since launching the RDV Music imprint in 2017, Molly has welcomed an array of up-and-coming talent and long-time respected figures in the contemporary house and techno scene onto the imprint, such as Dana Ruh, Cosmin TRG, Wbeeza, Aybee, Orion and many more. Here though, Molly steps into the spotlight herself with a new full-length EP for the label, the vinyl version features two originals and two remixes, while a further two originals will surface as bonus cuts on the digital release. First up on the EP is the original mix of ‘ It Feels Like It Only Goes Backwards’, encapsulating Molly’s signature deep aesthetic via hazy atmospherics and swirling dub textures, floating atop a bouncy sub bass groove and swinging, organic drums. Kettenkarussel member Koreander’s ‘Final Relief Remix’ of ‘It Feels Like It Only Goes Backwards’ follows, offering an ambient twist on the original version, taking the hypnotic elements, and reshaping them into a murky, subtly unfurling six and a half minute beatless interpretation. Next up on the flip side, Fred P reworks ‘Sweet Afternoon’, delivering a typically classy deep house cut driven by a choppy bass line, bright string stabs and crisp, bumpy drums. Molly’s ‘Mercure’ then completes the package, embracing a more groove driven feel as plucked bass notes, swelling subs, mesmerising synth flutters, and swinging drums develop in a subtly nuanced fashion throughout.
