MUSIQ 219EP
|
Sebastian Mullaert, Sweden's long standing techno, experimental, and ambient producer, is back on Mule Musiq with three deep tunes. "Mirror" seduces with discreet claps, a kind of drunken groove, deeply meditative tones, and a twisted melody that arrests your emotions inwardly. "Broken Mirror" is a sensible layered grower that delivers grooving minimal techno for those who love to dance slow. The second "Broken Mirror" tune comes as a "Wa Wu We Reflection", is even more slow, but still deeply groovy and packed with mesmerizing sound particles that stretch your mind and soul endlessly.

GR 021EP
|
Sebastian Mullaert follows his boundary-blurring collaboration with Ulf Eriksson, The Dance (Kontra-Musik, 2015), with another future-focused dispatch from his secretive sound-lab. An eight-minute freeform jazz-minded jam that owes just as much to Bugge as it does the Belleville Three, "You're an Orchestra in the Cosmos" is a luxurious groove peppered with cosmic improvisation and star-gazing spoken-word. Mullaert has invested every atom of his soul and thought into the original, his "Blinkarp Dub," and the spacious dub hypnosis of his vinyl-only Wa Wu We remix. Green label co-founder Joris Voorn offers his own deep, peak-time interpretation of the track.

TRAUM 184EP
|
Sebastian Mullaert's spiritual work of Direct Experience features two very different versions from a techno soul, with Mullaert twisting and bending the theme in his delicate and hypnotic way. "Direct Experience" in its original version is an 11-minute voyage into Mullaert's art of shifting and moving frequencies gently from one place to the other without ever losing touch with the pulsating rhythms that carry it all. The music is indeed trippy and demands an appreciation for a hypnotic state. The dub version on the flipside is even looser; you can feel the music levitating a millimeter off the ground.

OVM 244EP
|
Sebastian Mullaert hits the ground running with his sublime Ovum debut. Clocking in at a hefty 16 minutes in length, the title-track is a heady excursion which flirts with reverb-drenched ouds and meandering keyboard scales, conveying an air of Arabic mystique. An array of acidic synths move in and out of focus, while skittering hi-hats and ride cymbals slowly build upon rafts of kinetic energy. In an impressive display of versatility, Mullaert promptly flips the vibe from Berlin basement to Ibiza sunset with "Recapturing the Radical Self," which features brooding 303 squelches and sharp claps, slowly ascending into a state of full-on Balearic bliss.
