Syntagma : Syntagma [unfound72]

“Hailing from Lisbon, Portugal, Syntagma developed some thoughts regarding society, politics, globalization and the impact of economics in the human experience. They gathered some spoken word by several intellectuals such as john cage, alan moore, terence mckenna and eduardo galeano. even though this ep rides along something like mindful soundscapes, deep minimal techno and trippy deep house, Syntagma hopes that the listener will think about subjects that are not a common focus of modern dance music — hence offering a deeper side to the genre. You also get a mesmerizing remix courtesy of doubtingthomas, who hails from London, UK, but was born in France. So go on, let it all sink in, and flow with the groove.”

Sint : Zonmist [BC08]

Sint is Mr. Niek Brouwer from the Netherlands, and he makes beautiful electronic music that you’ve never heard before with machines that you’ve probably heard before. Operating in the vein of things like Bochum Welt, early Aphex and CiM (with a healthy dose of Drexciya)…basically imagine the most playful and melodic braindance, filled to the brim with catchy synth lines, funky drums and warm analog goodness, and there you are in the midst of Sint’s Zonmist. We at RP don’t mind confessing to you that Zonmist is one of our favorite things to come out of the label yet, and will probably go down in history as one of the best things we ever released, so really – do yourself a favor and grab this album. If you have a few bucks, do yourself a bigger favor and order a copy of the limited CD-R. It’s only packed chock-full of 6 bonus tracks and 2 remixes by Milieu and Mrs Jynx! And there’s only 50 of them! Go go go!”

Perpetual Motion Food : Kronika Pogańska [ppt#16]

“As promised, today we provide to our listeners prominent material of Perpetual Motion Food collective, which – as you probably all know – began a few nice years ago to dismay all listeners raised on tonal music and conservative German folk songs. The idea behind the whole project was free improvisation and experiment, which usually evolved into inscrutable musical forms that loosely correspond to tradition.
Kronika Pogańska (Chronicle of Pagan) is a piece of work of Lech Nienartowicz and Rafał Skonieczny. Lech is responsible for the sound – vast instrumentation, samples, effects and loops, and Rafał for the spoken word and assembly. The result of this collaboration is a mysterious and mesmerizing music… Listen to and reminisce!”

Pobedia & Nebyla : Good Morning EP [DDR006]

“Both these guys have been very busy this year releasing a few ep’s and albums between them. 2 very exciting artist with a wide range of styles to express. I was very excited and honoured for them to be able to squeeze in a release on Drift Deeper before the year ends.

Nebyla takes us back to basics with a stripped-down funky deep house track. A wonderful melody, beat and vocal hook come together beautifully to create ‘Mountain Yard’.

Pobedia goes deep on us once again with a mesmerizing, deep ambient-drone filled techno track. I really get the feeling of being up at ‘6am’ making my way to work, walking through the city watching as the first beams of sunlight penetrate through the cold concrete structures. Adding a warm glow to the city as it starts to come alive with people going about their day and traffic running through the veins of the city.”

Fischerle : Delayed Childhood [bsc_028]

“Polish sound artist Fischerle (aka Mateusz Wysocki) primarily known for his dub techno explorations demonstrates his mastery as a producer, by delivering two exquisite but completely different genres incorporating the same warm evolving beauty. Fischerle has appeared on such labels as, Qunabu, Instabil, Minicromusic, Ghostmental, Entropy and runs his own successful netlabel Pawlacz Perski Tapes.

His basic_sounds release Delayed Childhood opens with ‘Index of Clouds’ a drifting dub track with warm soothing waves layered with clean clicks and crackles for a deep tranquil organic dub journey. ‘The Mote Hunted Down In Telegraph Hill, San Francisco’ is a beautiful eighteen-minute gentle ambient soundscape with perfected looping washes and delicate sparse percussion drones for a really lovely calming peaceful meditation. Overall a sublime and gorgeous release.”

Alexandre Navarro : Cycles EP [Lav54]

“The cyclical recurring , the continuous circular flow of the sound that replicates itself creating other sound. An evocative path that makes the listening ‘hypnotic’ and turns it into vision. Alexandre Navarro proves himself a master in the use of this technique giving to Laverna a masterpiece of sound architecture made of five distinct rooms, different from one another but all inhabited by the art of iteration. Environments of glossy and elegant ‘ars electronica’ in which it becomes possible to amplify the own perception to move the nearest possible to the sound created by the silence. In this release you will find the access key to other worlds that will slowly reveal their coordinates to the traveler now almost lost in the coils of the enchantment. A charming spell signed by Alexandre Navarro.”

The Idiot Society are Dawn Mendonça (Idiot Queen) and Bill Rivers. Moving Still is their second album. Drawing inspiration from each other’s influences and combined interests, it is a fusion of rhythm, melody and experimentation through repetition, dissonance and hypnotic beats, coupled with their personal take on Indian philosophy, the surreal and the absurd.”
