With this diverse selection, we invite you to explore and enrich your music collection as we continue to support your listening experience during this vibrant season.
LSS – Blue Dub
Landed last on Kinetic Vision’s catalogue is LSS’s Syndromeda EP, broadcasting among five tracks one called “Blue Dub” which combines head-on, heavy-hitting taps with refreshing, dub-coated loops to actualize a solid series of modest hypnotic contortions.
Benoît Pioulard – Xaipe
An introspection, or even a means to meditate, reconnect, and repurpose is what Benoît Pioulard’s “Xaipe” embodies in its setting, bringing, as the opening track of Stanza IV on Disques d’Honoré, an invigorating form of comfortably tender and heartwarming breath, designed to stir positive and redefining feelings.
DeadSeanKennedy – Business And My Bread
By controlling unstable sequences and exuding unparalleled amounts of energy, DeadSeanKennedy in “Business And My Bread” revives the electronic ferocity from the 90’s street sounds through a blend of fluctuating jungle, chunky drum’n’bass figures, and their expanse to IDM foundations. Sean’s track and his urban escapism is found in the Fuck The Legal Stations LP on ◢sidehatch.
Akob – Emergence
Akob’s organically fueled and profoundly vibrant transmission of “Emergence,” from the duo’s latest Stateshift Sequence EP on Accents Records, provides with its hefty bassline and smooth fluidity a well-felt density as a reflection of the movement of nature’s surroundings in its journey, capturing the essence of mystified twilight hues.
A-Tweed – Selfish Sawfish
Steering the “Selfish Sawfish”‘s slow, dub-soaked unfolding to build up a lurking tension, A-Tweed, in his debut LP Spring Music on Abstrakce Records, weaves with charming precision a reverberating narrative and swerves amidst cavernous slick cracks for a steadily pulsating equilibrium toned by otherworldly ambience.
Emily Jeanne – Sunyata
The spinning threads of Emily Jeanne’s “Sunyata” formulate a spiralling mental dive which follows pristine-sounding minimal taps, draped in chromatic blooms of distorted flows and drips and pushed by reflective psychedelic bouncing. Find the track in Neon Reflections celebratory, twelve-track compilation of early reflex.
ishome – dm
First, a playful tune evoking fragments of faded instillations and inspirations, and then a dramatic, zone-out synth submerge, “dm” assembles ishome’s cinematic soundscape wanderings into an ethereal amalgam, sensing a strange stillness. “dm” resides in Mirabella’s second full-length album, carpet watcher, on trip recordings.
SYIRD & VAAGUE – Lapsang
Quirky, joyful, and contemporary, “Lapsang” by SYIRD and VAAGUE from the Tape Two VA release on Fish Tapes has a delightfully clear and progressively uplifting atmosphere infused with loose yet inviting vibrations, tempering the springy waveforms.
vauna – Historic Archetype (Forest On Stasys Remix)
Forest On Stasys perception on vauna’s “Historic Archetype,” from the Historic Archetype EP on HYPHEN RECORDS, slips into the original composition doses of slippery trance-infused themes, crackling background hoops, and mildly glitched outlines with a filling of warping deepness for a highly enchanting outcome.
Fefe – Fire Warden
In the cautiously spaced and paced frequencies of Fefe’s “Fire Warden,” extracted from the Body Weather on Danza Nativa, a tide of well-versed dub splits actively and eloquently rhymes with the overall textural volatility, further adorned by punchy intervals of heated bursts.
sooyeon – more than a friend (dBridge’s situationship mix)
Focused on a darkened, fast-paced groove, dBridge’s remix on sooyeon’s “more than a friend” conveys a fragile effort to balance an innate expression desire within the borders of club-focused and highly-rhythmic patterns, while encircled by a recurring and soft vocal sample.
Jin Synth – Wonderful Land
In “Wonderful Land”‘s beautiful, dream-like environment Jin Synth examines the reach of synthetically composed bliss by employing a euphonic range of melodies, chimes, and tunes to stir something deeply positive and comforting. The track is taken from the Wonderful Land EP, Jin’s second release on Fractal Phenomenon.
Vell – Wake Up
Vrell’s masterful tinkering with various elegant saxophonic outputs in Blue Drops, the producer’s latest release on Boiled Wonderland Records, created “Wake Up”, an ambient voyage across a harmonious and euphoric sonic environment where the instrument’s notes breeze through its lush and airy fields.
