ONEINST 003EP
|
One Instrument Sessions series presents the Indonesian artist, Fahmi Mursyid. His mini-album includes six tracks that have the ability to take the listener on a warm, experimental journey of varying timbres. The artist has always had a personal interest in traditional Indonesian instruments, specifically from Sundanese culture. Considering the strict guidelines One Instrument gives the artists, Mursyid has succeeded in getting the most out of his chosen instruments. With each of the six different acoustic instruments he has eluded clichè and surpassed physical limitations to shape a bold, alternative musical language.

VODKAST 003EP
|
V.C.V.S. was founded by Irakli Shonia and Sandro Kozmanishvili in Tbilisi, in 2016. After spending considerable time together in the studio, the debut CD album Sections From The Imaginary Future was released in May 2017 on label Hanker, containing more ambient/experimental music. After two intense years, Irakli and Sandro found new inspirations and ideas, which led them to return to the studio and record the EP called Hum in August 2018. DJ Sotofett made a variation of "Trapped In The Corner" together with Kalifornia Keke.

QST 003EP
|
Quartet Series welcome back Parisian sample connoisseur S3A. "Presentiment" is a collaboration with Mika Blaster. Starting off with majestic strings then suddenly dropping into a massive beat with haunting samples flourishing over the thriving percussion. "Something More" picks up where Antois Benime left off. A genius mix of uplifting samples and 909 percussion makes this another club ready weapon. "Wu Impact" packs soft and sweet Rhodes chords, an insanely groovy bass line with percussion, and those mellifluous strings again. Deep slammer "Influences" again displays S3A's ability to use a wide array of elements within a single tune.

ST 003EP
|
Seth Troxler continues to shed light on the frontiers of his musical interests with his Soft Touch label, presenting here nomadic trio AOU, who align their esoteric setup and a wide range of influences (including AIR and Joy Division) for Gordo Laika. Initially brought together via a love of skateboard culture, AOU combine the vocal aptitude of Guy Stevenson with the multi-instrumentalist flair and production knowledge of William Moreau and Quentin Sarda. With Futureboogie's Christophe bridging the gap between label and artist, an apt pairing is formed. Gordo Laika offers an enlivening insight into this auspicious musical collective.

SNDST 003EP
|
For Clint Stewart's debut solo EP, there was no better way to make his mark than to bring on one of his closest friends and all-around musical visionaries, Tone Of Arc. "Warpaint" is a dark and sensual musical journey teeming with emotional howls washed over a relentless beat and sub-bass with deep celestial vocals. "Look into the Sun" is a heart-melter. It's the sound of summer. Stabs build into a dreamy progression while small flashes of a warm vocal wash over you. Once the breakdown comes, the words "look into the sun" come as if in a dream to introduce a mesmerizing sub-bass and a splash of enchanted synths.

HEIST 003EP
|
The Organ Grinder presents the Another Process EP for Heist Recordings. "How Did I Get Here" has the grittiest, most rolling percussion you've heard in a long time -- a looped key with a hint of sleazy techno and some mindblowing subs. Add some odd FM frequency noises and you've got yourself a killer tune. "Changes All the Time" takes a more drawn-back approach -- a set of carefully-placed stabs, pads, and strings that keeps you wanting more of that warm but rough groove. "The Valley of Doom" has a stripped-down, almost dubby techno vibe, nicely countered with The OG's signature slamming percussion.

ARKST 003EP
|
Bflecha's comeback on Arkestra is an alloy of golden-era Spanish pop, R&B, contemporary electronica and classic dance music on a quest for the definitive 21st century pop music. "Qvasi Naves" is a triumphant march with plenty of pizzazz, winding horns, bursting synths and spattered 808 percussion and warehouse diva screams. "Razas Salvajes" takes us into the woods at night with dark wave-ish material and Drumma Boy swagger. "Salacot" features a skippy drum pattern, half 2step/half calypso, dyed in Trevor Horn-style production. Remix by Noaipre.

INSIST 003EP
|
Intelligent, groovy techno from Ping!. "Departure" has funky, offbeat elements in the beginning and cleverly-placed breaks. Sascha Sonido's remix catches a touch of tribal techno, moving the track with its vocals a good bit further into the house cosmos. "Steady State Universe" features jazz sound figures and a hypnotic beat. The Justin Berkovi remix focuses more directly on the dancefloor.

KVIST 003EP
|
"'I make tracks and that's about it' is what Stian Gjevik, AKA EOD said when asked for a biography. And he does make tracks. The 6 analog/acid/electro pieces on offer here show a balance between technical know how (including knowing when to stop -- there is no messy overproduction here) and acute instinct for detail, brought together by a real enjoyment of the craft of tune-creation. Operating out of Trondheim, Norway, EOD's music has already caught the attention of heavy-hitters, and his first EP, an obscure private-press 12" entitled EAP Tracks sold out extremely quickly. There is footage of Aphex Twin playing his music in a DJ set. Revered acid label 030303 will be releasing a record/album of his later in 2009. Kvist is extremely proud to be releasing this record." -- John Tamm-Buckle 2009

JUST 003EP
|
"With their third release, Just continues its policy of signing newcomers from our close environment. Kock & Wilck are old friends who have established a very organized working relationship. Sebastian is the structure man, Fabian the sound designer. They now live together in Kreuzberg, Berlin. These tracks were amongst the first we heard from Scampi and Fabian, only months after they had first set their hands on a PC and started to experiment. 'Für den Garten' strictly caters to the peaktime on minimal dancefloors. Its huge, jittery riff in addition to cleverly crafted beats and well arranged drops definitely deliver every time. '(Nichts) für den Garten,' on the other hand, shows the duo from a more contemplative, spaced-out side. This track is the perfect soundtrack for gliding into blissed-out mornings."
