- London-based old school /ethnic /drum & bass /jungle production duo Sully & Tim Reaper “Windswept (Sully Fader Mix)” from “UHFR001″ EP 10” [Future Retro London / Uncertain Hour]
Both bodily and cerebrally bewitching old-school ambiance, bouncing through crisp and geometric razor-sharp beats, rolling along heavily hollow tightly wound bassline, scented with tantalizing sharp Middle Eastern obsessive string flourishes, making for a ravishing rework that equally blows up your mind, moves your feet and shakes your belly.
- Mexican house /dark disco /psych /indie dance new project of Dan Solo and Eva de Marce, aka Los Eclipses – “Anaconda (Ubaruh Remix)” from “Anaconda” EP [Kaputt.wav]
Latino sensuality meets French flair, to fuel dancing energy and mystery with crisp bouncing percussive grooves, a deeply enticing rubbery pulsing bassline, 70s guitar flourishes, entrancing bright synths and mesmerizing female Spanish vocal sultriness that makes you fully trip out on the dance floor.
- Ambient sci-fi electronica producer Elkan – “Foryogi Staar” single from the forthcoming album [Nous’klaer Audio]
Enigmatic sound artist chisels an intricate, immersive and vivid introspective tapestry of finely mottled glowing reverberations and twinkling melancholic resonances, interpolated by rippling sonorous deep bass palpitations, amidst dazzling glares, wheezing and whirring lonesome synth drifts, in which to get lost whilst eerily suspended over the silvery surface of a reflecting celestial sea, temptingly within reach of a cozy dream.
