Soundmanipulator – Fin d mundo EP [SLXR017]

“With Fin d Mundo EP, Soundmanipulator drives us through a deep trip in that the time is expanded and space is collapsed. A claustrophobic dimension where humans find the true soul of sound. The circle of time is closed, the beginning becomes the end and the end becomes the begin. The rebirth from a new primordial form is ready for the next evolution.”

M.A.M.I. : El Mami (Parte 1) [SERN39]

“Framed in an attractive and charming exercise in retro mood, appropriate to the dance club and home listening, Daniel Gomez aka M.A.M.I. undertakes with this new release a deconstruction / reconstruction of his own sonic space, enlarging it and finding the accurate joy . El Mami (Parte 1) is a sober work of great pretensions, whose exuberance does not respond formally, as you might imagine, to an effectist lifting session, but to the enhancement of the expressive qualities of the artist, inviting us through its melodic frames and small retrospective, to a twilight dancing epilogue at the height of the requirements of the most skewed rhythmic battles. A delivery that preserves the constants of his work: awaken songs ready to drive the rhythm in elegant and vitamined sets, which are an alternative to ears reluctant to musical science.”

Chord : Year As A Ghost [bsc_025]

“Primarily known for his dub techno productions as one half of Overcast Sound, Michael Pettit’s solo alias, Chord combines his deep dub sensibilities with sophisticated explorations into minimal house and techno.

On his exceptional release Year as a Ghost, Chord delivers perfected spatially fractured piano-driven tech-house tracks. The first composition, ‘Now I Know and I Wish I Never Did’ slowly builds into a brooding experimental house track incorporating organic rhythmic percussion sounds, sultry male vocals, piano melodies and flowing strings. ‘High Catherine’ is a gorgeous dubby slow-groove driven by layered drums and gliding atmospheric drifts that gradually evolve under creatively timed vocal snippets. ‘Lost in the Market’ acts as an acoustic interlude by submerging the listener into a virtual space of wonder driven by contemplative atmospheric waves. ‘The Unsettled’ is a beautifully executed track with patiently layered rhythmic percussion beats and warm optimistic rising strings, highlighted with strong piano chords.

Chord cleverly allows the organic beauty of each component to breathe while uniquely constructing them into an infectious, minimal groove that’s sheer genius. basic_sounds netlabel is delighted to celebrate our third anniversary with such a polished and stunning personal offering.”

Taneli : Positivity EP [GPHG002]

“19-year-old Taneli delivers a mixed bag of deep, bassy delights on his debut EP Positivity.
The title track is a blissed-out slice of future garage, driven by R&B moans and fluttering 808 snare rolls. The track is also given a stripped-back 4×4 makeover by fresh-faced French duo Dusty Corners, who take it down a dark, twisted rave route.
The other two originals here really show Taneli’s versatility as a producer. ‘Heat’ is a bouncy house roller with a bassline that’ll be in your head for days, and ‘Statis’ is teacup-rattling dubstep at its finest.
Keep your eye on Taneli. He’s going places.”

Stiver : Shine [SP14]

“SP14 marks Stiver‘s first release on Istanbul’s Sublime Porte after well received previous releases on Square Harmony alongside fellow Istanbul artist and collaborator Gantz. Encapsulating a heady mix of low slung bass, ominous vibes and fractured beats, Stiver is an artist fast rising to the heights allowed to him by his stark, powerful production skills.

Flickering open a portal into his world effortlessly with the sombre swells of Disappointment, the young artists vision instantly comes across as a consistent and powerful expression of emotions fused with forward thinking ideas. The scuttling textures and almost invisible yet ever present vocal samples of Even If effortlessly make way to the circular geometries of It’s similar they say.. with rhythms that morph and merge with one and other, taking the listener on a sonic adventure before landing fittingly on the glorious Shine, a beautiful stellar beacon of a tune that glows and shimmers much like the lights reflected on the Bosphorus. An essential release by Stiver, exploring both familiar and unfamiliar territories with a sharp eye for detail and a deep knowledge of the relation between sound and emotion.
