“Icy textures, landscapes and deep smoke are the hallmarks of our new artist (Krisz Deak). Four tracks of pure dub techno minimal cutting, open spaces for incessant chords that hit us everywhere. Ultra low and thundering bass mesmerizes the listener from the first listening.”

“Digging up the digital crates and revisiting famliar grooves, Resurge Three marks the completion of the trilogy by bringing together alternate versions of known tracks and original material reserved for a proper release. Local talent Lee Fraged & Double Trouble make up for the first two tracks of the compilation with two deep house tracks: ‘Say it with your own words’ with sexy vocals on top of its driving bassline and percussion and an alternate version of ‘Fetish’ originally found in the very first This Side Up release. Swap sides, moving up north, to find two tracks, each one with its own distinct dub techno sound: Liquid Level’s ‘Ultra’ is a mover, sweeping albeit deep, while Dominique Jacquinet rides again on ‘Boulevard Road’ for a sound update of what was once found on his Floating EP.”

“The first in a new series of free net releases comes from dub techno legend Coppice Halifax.
‘Cedar Mast is the result of an experiment undertaken during the Summer of 2012 at Botany Bay. Having a longtime fondness for video games, and by association, video gaming consoles of years past, it occurred to me how much I always loved the bootup/menu sounds made by the Sega Dreamcast system. My wife bought me a brand new system for my 29th birthday, since our old unit had long since died, and I took the opportunity to sample all of the native sounds the machine makes when there isn’t a boot disc inside. As many of you familiar with the Dreamcast will know, these sounds consist of wet, chorus-laden bleeps and chord stabs, which seemed like the perfect ingredients for making techno tracks…and so Cedar Mast was conceived and subsequently created. Everything you hear in these five tracks that is not a drum machine (which is to say, all of the melodies, pads, basslines and even bits of percussion) has been created using only those original sounds from the Sega Dreamcast.'”

“Spanish producer and videographer José Barrera releases his magnificent EP Diffuse on basic_sounds. Known for being an industrial engineer by trade, Barrera’s passion lies in creating dark ambient drones with deep immersive basslines. He originally started composing in 2004 after purchasing his first synthesizer and later became invested with the Monome community, contributing to several compilations organized by other Monome users. He also has appeared on Mischieveous Musique, Drift Deeper and supplied audio accompaniment to a contemporary dance performance. His self-released albums are available for download from his bandcamp page.
Diffuse opens with ‘Fire Oscillator’, a densely thick immersive work with contemplative floating strings, crackling gurgles and deep organic bass similar to an internal rhythmic heart pulse. ‘Double Exposure’, is a lush, drifting dub techno gem that gains more depth through its pulsing signals and airy layered chords. ‘Mirror Reflections’ is a dark eerie pulsing track with shuffling sweeps, alluding to feelings of uncertainty. ‘Oblivion’ closes the EP with a twelve-minute long format composition that delicately transforms and glides the listener through a meditative foreign space. Absolutely beautiful and ideal for lovers of Wolfgang Voights’ Gas moniker and all things deep.”

“Cold Imagination is a beautiful piece of, well, moody deep dub techno. Emotion here is not evasive or allusive but plain moody and heart-rending, and one can abandon itself dancing to it, dreaming with it and yet still feel the introspective, reflective vibe of the songs.”
