Nilaesh – Gladio (2014/2016)

Bump Foot

Bandcamp

• Techno 
• Tekno 
• Acid techno 
• Psytrance 
• Psytekno 
• Electro 
• Crossover 
• Psytechno

Comment: Wolverhampton, UK-based Nilaesh Patel aka Patel`s 5-track issue and 35 minutes are a fatty blend of tekno, electronica, acid techno/house, electro, and on the other side there are clearly represented psy-related elements as psytrance, psytechno, and psytekno. It is a crossover issue being influenced by wild and lysergic warehouse parties of the beginning of the 1990s. It is not surprising at all because Nilaesh Patel started DJing since the mid-1990s. However, his influences seem to be remarkably more wide, for instance, at the opening Mess Around he employs a sample from a shoegaze/indie dance duo Curve`s ditty called Horrohead. It can be said the whole successfully revitalises old traditions both within the rave and psy-related scene because one can hear sublime inner burning and sultry atmosphere throughout the tracks. The great issue is a part of the discography of a legendary Japanese imprint, Bump Foot.

ST★RS – Four Letter Words (2014)

Bayshore

• Electronic music 
• Experimentalism 
• Lo-fi 
• Alternative 
• DIY
• Darkwave 
• Synthwave 
• Drone 
• Avant-garde 
• Minimalism

Comment: behind the nom de plume ST★RS is Jay Stevens from Portland, USA whose 4-track debut outing starts off with Gold which chimes like an old tape broken up and being played on a tape player with smeared cartridge. One can hear faint droning and powerless drumming around it. By using headphones one can hear almost nothing. Because of that the purpose of that track seems to be totally unclear. It might be it is thought to introduce the other tracks to create such a sort of effect before. Indeed, the situation will change with the second track, Frag, which is based on a reverberating, vibrant drone showcasing its very minimal approach in the first place. Haze is also a drone-based issue though abandoning its minimal approach and employing blackened smouldering of somehow glistening synthesisers and intense drumming. The final track Tosh is the most hovering one and opened toward outer space. Indeed, Jay Stevens watches the stars in a magnificent way. The solid outing is a part of the discography of Bayshore Records.

girlsNames – Energy For Genocide (2014)

Torn Flesh

Bandcamp

• Cybergrind 
• Grindcore 
• DIY 
• Lo-fi 
• Death metal 
• Trash metal 
• Brutal metal

Comment: The Toronto, Ontario,Canada-based girlsNames` 11-track issue is a proper issue of grindcore-related music because of having the end at a 11-minute. Indeed, it is an example of grindcore and involving also death metal and trash metal elements though flirting with rusty electronic sounds and rigid programmed drums shamelessly. And those spoken word samples are to provide more creepy atmosphere to the mix and female voices to add unconventionally angriness to the melting pot. At times those samples are to predominate over slightly deformed song structures and broken volume stability as if the artist does give a heck. However, if either this point is the case or not it is not important though because such a sort of attitude is somehow appealing with regard to this style and approach. Let`s call it lo-fi/DIY grindcore. Bedroom grind? Party Up A Red Cup is an example of deranged madness and that makes really sense. At Bandcamp there represented about 40 albums by the artist. The issue is a part of the discography of Torn Flesh Records.

SISTERS – Christy Canyon EP (2014)

Diabetic Koala

Bandcamp

• Avant-garde 
• Lo-fi 
• Post-industrial 
• Goth-trap 
• DIY 
• Witch house 
• Drag house 
• Experimental music 
• Leftfield

Comment: SISTERS is a project from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, USA whose 4-track issue is dedicated to Christy Canyon, a retired famous porn actress who had been involved in more than 100 adult motion pictures. I like the phrase "Heaven is Christy Canyon falling in love with me" from the song Heaven Is by English synth pop/art pop/post-punk collective Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. I hoped maybe the outing does have a thematic sequel but there is no issues dedicated to Monica Roccaforte, Simona Valli, Erika Bella, for instance. Love seems to be dead in classical sense and all is virtually stimulated and filled in with simulacra. And it is propagated by the mainstream TV. Musically it is a thick, and lo-fi experiment full of stomping witch house and mutant hip-hop and ominous trap rhythms. I will give it the positive valuation especially in those tracks wrapped up in lethargic, vaporous noises as if coming out from different media and thereof providing a shamanic effect on a listener. In truth, this issue strengthens the tradition of industrial music with regard to such famous cases as Cosey Fanny Tutti as being a porn actress and porn as a part of her performance art, Genesis P-Orridge (another member from Throbbing Gristle) as a transgender human being and artist, and Jhonn Balance, and Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson (the core members of Coil) propagating a voluptuous (gay) sex through their music. The issue is a bit in the discography of Diabetic Koala.

Telluric – Telluric EP (2014)

Swishcotheque

Bandcamp

• Electronic music 
• Alternative 
• Synthwave 
• Psybient 
• Kosmische Musik 
• Mood music 
• Chilltronica

Comment: the first contact of mine with an imprint called Swishcotheque happened to a release (Analog Gentleman) by Marko Sula aka Out-Or who was an idiosyncratic underground artist in Estonia during the 90s. Similarly to the compatriot of mine it is quite problematic to describe the nature of Telluric's self-titled issue. Because it is a mind-blowing issue the role of mine as music reviewer seems to be quite impotent. However, let's trying at least. First of all, it is the kind of electronic music for our pleasure. I guess it is based on certain patches of synthesisers. It is saturated with digital noises and incisive sonic effects sometimes to provoke one's thought and mood. Certainly it is inspired by trance music though in a psychedelic key. On the other side, the aesthetic of synthesiser induced music in its acidic and spacious format is apparently a predominant element within it. It is fairly emotive to enjoy how synthesised chords used to turn upward and then downward in an acidic sauce. Imagine an early Talk Talk or Heaven 17 to starkly be influenced by Tangerine Dream. The issue is a platform to seamlessly merge all these elements with one another. And there is artistic elegance up in the air because the final track Trill Cue is an irresistible earworm. Get afflicted with it. Stunning stuff by any means.

Erzs-bet – Y2062 (2014)

Radio Stalingrad

• Dark ambient 
• Illbient 
• Ambient noise
• Post-industrial 
• Leftfield
• Electronic music 
• Dystopbient 
• Ambient drone 
• Avant-garde 
• Drone 
• Experimentalism 
• Sound art

Comment: either to understand is this issue decoded or encoded it depends on the viewer`s perspective and keen ability to imagine. For instance, the compositions on it are titled in the following way: Y2022, Y2042, [-1-], [-2-], [–Tran-Sition–], and Y2062. This issue of 13 minutes is produced by the Aussie Reuben Petrovski and being released on an experimental music-oriented imprint called Radio Stalingrad which face to face with the aforementioned titles would freely be denoted as the Battle (of) Stalingrad. At least it could be imagined as a battle between the ghosts of the soldiers who succumbed during it. Indeed, emotionally these six wiggly compositions chime in a morbid and ghastly way because desolate spatial droning of empty fields and fluffy anti-gravitational sensations are followed up by clattery dissonant noises wherein one can make difference between black and brownish noise, between the soil and air. Later on, the artist exploits ghastly sounds as if being lead through the aether to convey a secret message. Is it from one dead ones to other dead ones or is from the dead ones to the living ones? Or vice versa? Emotionally it is remarkably more overwhelming than an average pop song. Aesthetically it is a case where one could see a sort of beauty through gruesome progressions and fascinating ugliness. 

Distopia – Enter Change EP (2014)

Bandcamp

• Electronic music 
• Mood music 
• Chilltronica 
• Alternative 
• Live 
• Ambient pop 
• Ambient trance 
• Psybient

Comment: by following the thread at Bandcamp about the Atlanta, Georgia, US-based project this might be the debut issue of the artist. More profoundly, stylistically it is an exquisite mix of chill out, moody electronica, dub-inflected sprawling and trance-y psychedelic softness. One composition is recorded live. At times it might remind of The Orb (especially Orblivion, 1997) because the artist constitutes a broad space to create a trance-y psychedelic metaphysics within it. The result is elegantly resonant being saturated with different colours and dynamic penumbras. Jokingly, it is such a sort of universe where the lovers of trance music will go afterlife. Seriously, I hope it is true because the result is rich of fabulous images and bucolic spellbound.

Aunt Sis – BG082/9 Tracks (2014)

Bleeding Gold

• Americana 
• Indie rock 
• Art rock 
• Alternative rock 
• Krautrock 
• Noise rock 
• Experimental pop 
• Lo-fi 
• Drone pop 
• Electronic

Comment: Aunt Sis is a collective from Asheville, USA and their music can be categorised as Americana on its very core. On the other hand, the collective provides many dodges and twists throughout the 9-notch outing being released on Bleeding Gold. I would like to say Aunt Sis does have a similar relationship to Americana as Wilco used to have been having. Maybe it would be more righteous to admit Americana is just the most suitable term to generalise Justin Morris and his companies` songs. From thoughtful lo-fi guitar twangs to expansive and majestic (indie) pop mannerism, from emotional singing and sensual chants to the explosive temper of chemical hippies. The combo surprises at Dr. Dahl which is a bow to Neu! through Stereolab and The High Llamas. In any cases, it is fairly freeing for a listener to drift between the aforementioned shifts. Dortch is the final piece of the issue where a modern version of Krautrock meets doo wop and acidic harmonica chords. It is truly elegant to finish off an album in such a way.

Elvis Bordello – Harmony Beijing (2014)

King Of The Glitch

• Electro-indie 
• Leftfield 
• Alternative 
• Electronic 
• Experimental pop 
• Krautrock
• Leftfield 
• Indie 
• Drone pop

Comment: this bunch of 10 tracks is somehow oppressive and relieving at the same time. Mostly it consists of rigid electro(nica) and austere drones, almost industrial music-alike sonic elements providing somehow dance-appealed seeds within it. The point, however, is it is not a sort of danceable music for the human being. It rather describes robots to shake their clanging hands and rattling fingers in the rhythm of these vibrations. On the other side, these spasmodic and awkward robots seem to have acquired some human characteristics to be gentle and kind in their own terms. It is a remarkable characteristic throughout the album. It can be concluded that the humanism is allowed to exist without the human beings themselves on this occasion. The more you listen to it the more it is getting softened stepwise the more it will absorb and deny its hirsute nature. It is like living under such a star which used to bomb its subjects with tickling electromagnetic flows and arousing particles. All in all, it is the outstanding result of a mind-blowing idea. The artist is promoting his 11 albums through his own blog (King Of The Glitch) of whom Harmony Beijing is the latest one. Undoubtedly we are going to arrive at it sometime.

Robert Avellanet – Heart & Soul (2014)

Jamendo

Bandcamp

• Soul 
• Funk 
• Pop 
• Soft pop 
• Disco

Comment: Robert Avellanet`s 11-track outing gets a place in my listening world because of providing sonic elements which might be sugary and sleazy by some other artists with credibility and powerful inner impetus. More profoundly, it is a quite straightforward pop music with the elements of funk and soul. However, the central track on it is certainly The One And Only, one could feel its axial position while listening to these 42 minutes for many times in a row and while getting to it again. It does have enough strength to hover and tower and find out a slot in one`s heart. Lyrically the outing is predominantly about love, the fact which is obviously not surprising at all due to those softened pads and hopeful audible seeds /Love is a journey I would everywhere with you/My love I found you/My life is yours I was born for you/I dream about you/One day we will stand side by side/. In a word, it is an issue where Latin inflected balladry meets Motown inspired soulful music. Lovely stuff.

Büromaschinen – Time Capsule Vol. 1 (2014)

Upitup

• Electronic pop 
• Indietronica 
• Space pop 
• Synthwave 
• Alternative 
• Mood music 
• Poptronica 
• Easy listening 
• Yacht pop 
• Chillwave

Comment: in fact, at the Upitup site it is said very nicely about this 6-track issue which will be clocked in at a 16 minute. These short tracks are composed by an unbelievably multi-talented artist whose issue was already finished off in the beginning of the 00s just waiting perseveringly its time to be released to the audience. Because of that the issue deserves its name and on the other side it musically went ahead of its time due to foretelling the birth of strongly electronic inflected indie music, more profoundly, such styles as chillwave, and alternative pop tinged synthwave, and yacht pop. Thirdly, it does include a marked easy listening touch relentlessly going up and down and then sailing effortlessly to the right side and then to left. By the way, some house flickers come forth from the whole occasionally. At times it reminds of some soundtracks produced for the 80s motion pictures being futuristic and serene at the same time, being emotionally loaded and lightly entertaining simultaneously. Get it from the site from a great imprint, Upitup. What else to add to it - oh yeah, let`s stay waiting for the vol. 2.  

Marid – Shaam (2014)

Azawad

Azawad

• Dark ambient 
• Musique concrète 
• Illbient  
• Post-industrial 
• Leftfield 
• Spoken word 
• Noise 
• Avant-garde 
• Rhythmic noise 
• Field recording 
• Experimentalism 
• Non-music

Comment: the 10-notch issue of clocking in at a 59 minute is a part of the discography of AZAWAD Records. As usual, it is related to Islam and military aspects though there are some moments hinting at atrocities and violence against the civil population. Indeed, I hope is not a pro for terror and havoc being the platform for the (Islamic) terrorists. At least at Homs some violent acts against the civil population are enumerated and one cannot be wrong about a disapproving attitude with regard to it. I guess it is because of bloodthirsty actions by ISIS. Stepping aside from the political platform it could be admitted musically it is a very intriguing issue because of being an interface for such genres as noise, rhythmic industrial, ambient, spoken word, musique concrète all of them being seamlessly mixed up together. For instance, Yabrud is one of the finest moments on it because a trance-led Islamic chant is merged with a bold rhythm and shrill noisy pulsation. At times it chimes like the synchronized translation in Russian through tight hisses coming to the surface through broken transmissions and warped radio waves. In a word, the outing is highly intense and arousing of which rhythmic phases could freely be compared with Muslimgauze. In fact, it is quite embarrasing to have been downloaded for 10 times so far only.  

Seuora – The OddBeats (2014)

Death Roots Syndicate

Bandcamp

• Vaudeville 
• Balkan music 
• Art rock 
• Blues 
• Music hall 
• Avant-folk 
• Cabaret 
• Crossover 
• Comedy 
• Dark folk

Comment: the US-based imprint Death Roots Syndicate keeps having impact upon me because it surprises with its twists in its discography. Recently I commented about an Italian dark folk/neofolk/apocalyptic folk/neoclassical project L'ira dell'Agnello`s Coprofonia (2014). Seuora is a disparate turn because of coming from Finland and making music with a tongue-in-cheek attitude because of incorporating different styles such as vaudeville/music hall, Gypsy music, and cabaret with roots-driven styles as blues, bluegrass, and folk in an amusing way though involving more murky elements as well (at 34512, for instance). Indeed, it is a hellish crossover issue of a musical direction of which the most famous representative is Tom Waits undoubtedly having its roots both in the Beatniks, 20<sup>th</sup> century beginning Dadaist movement and delta blues, Romani culture, and music hall. However, you could not underestimate the influence of contemporary and past Finnish underground music being the most potential and intriguing in the Scandinavian peninsula (for instance, the so-called forest folk/New Weird Finland movement, Erkki Kurenniemi, M.A. Numminen, Pekka Airaksinen, Keuhkot, Pan Sonic, Vladislav Delay etc). Before the quartet was conceived some members played in such group as Northern Antarctican Non-Flying Flying Circus where they played a similar sort of music. Their handwriting implicates to an organic connection between the storytelling, and a musical backup, between saying yes to our withering life from one`s egoistic perspective and then revealing more misanthropic tendencies and appeal towards the darkness and evil. In a word, the result is highly striking embracing 10 compositions within a span of 33 minutes.

These Guy – Human Language (2014)

Wood And Wire

• Dubstep 
• Folk indie 
• Experimental pop 
• Alternative rock 
• Indie rock 
• Free folk 
• Avant-garde 
• Folk indie 
• New Weird Australia 
• Weird folk 
• Indie folk 
• Chilltronica 
• Indietronica 
• Dream pop 
• Epic

Comment: this Brisbane, Australia-based sophisticated issue is an instance of contemporary indie music though 10 years ago it would have been named either as experimental electronica or avant-whatever. However, it does not mean that such categorizations would be wrong. The point is all around us has changed remarkably due to such artists as Tortoise, Radiohead, Stereolab, Animal Collective, Beirut, Ariel Pink, and Panda Bear who have brought many vanguard ideas to the surface to poison the mainstream indie music. Indeed, it must have been a human language because otherwise there would have been no hope at all. In other cases, we would have been drowned in highly decayed music being denoted with the meaningless alternative pop/rock definition. More profoundly, at I Wanna Understand the artist mixes up dubstep frequencies with chill-out jazz jitters. Weird Weather is more about an exalting indie folk/rock number. This bundle of 5 tracks starts off with a broken-down, shrill, warped melody in the self-titled track and in this way coming to the next track Street Noise which is an exquisite, dreamy folk and indie pop mixed appearance with epic peaks. The following composition You Know Who also proves the fact the artist is very expert at composing sublime progressions which used to overwhelm your senses and heart. The result is a self-assured, accomplished issue with beatific climactic points in melodies, harmonies and compositions in overall. The outing is a part of the discography ofan excellent Australian label Wood And Wire.

Valovoima - Amundsen's Journey (2014)

Kovaydin

• Electronic music 
• Alternative 
• Conceptual 
• Hi-NRG 
• Downtempo 
• Trance

Comment: I guess this is not the first issue being inspired by the legendary traveller and geographer of Norwegian heritage whose moves in the periphery of Northern hemisphere made him immortal due to his superhuman stretch. Valovoima's three track issue though embracing lengthy compositions reflects tightly upon possible appearances and situations with convincing power through propellent, galvanised energy yet being at times segmented into more murky, at times more cheerfully ennobling progressions. Musically and stylistically it is a quite extraordinary outing because of incorporating such styles as laid back downtempo, reverberating shamanistic trance and shrill Hi-NRG into each other. The issue which simultaneously provokes one's mind and soothes it due to majestic synthesised progressions is a part of the discography to Kovaydin.

Grozny 93 – Dysproporcja (2014)

Azawad

• Harsh noise 
• Brown noise 
• Avant-garde 
• Experimentalism 
• Non-music 
• Abstract 
• Psychoacoustic

Comment: I am aware of the fact that a very great part of people are terrified possibility that they have to listen to noise music. Let’s imagine such a dystopic universe or planet where they have to deal with it. However, noise music was probably one of the first protest music genres stepping against war and decay in general within the Western culture area. It was very clever to attack the adverse phenomena of the Western civilization in a provoking manner and frequently with their own attributes in a slightly bent way. Furthermore, it is a kind of music because of being articulated and composed. For instance, let’s listen to this handful of pieces to make out of how much elements is going to happen throughout the course. This is a play on different levels, playing with intensity, playing with stereo effects and timbres, playing with terror and silence. More profoundly, it starts off with a brown-hued flow as if having no equilibrium between the two channels therefore by searching for it the soundscape begins to swing. In the third composition those brownish bits are all of a sudden saturated by more shrill and higher frequencies and subsequently timbres changing its course from muddy field to abandoned junk yard full of metallic garbage. I guess to be submerged by these sounds might have been very inspiring for such geniuses like Edgar Allan Poe, and HP Lovecraft if they had lived nowadays. At first glimpse one may see the austere formalism behind the sounds but by listening to it more carefully one can perceive fleshed out emotions and sensations behind those menacing developments. And there is also enough place for full-fledged fantasies. For instance, at times it chimes like an audible representation to depict a monstrous octopus moving on a the bottom of the ocean to find out the slot to surface and then devastatingly attack. The last piece is an intense chugging due to spasmodic bass frequencies, however, being buried and veiled appealingly. The mind-provoking issue is a notch in the discography of Azawad.

Adam Spent Time – Capitalism & Schizophrenia (2014)

Tachyon

Tachyon

• Downtempo 
• Modern classical 
• Chilltronica 
• Post-rock 
• Indietronica 
• Electronic music 
• Post-classical 
• Ambient pop

Comment: I have no doubts of the fact the artist gets it right musically. On the other side, your aptitude to connect the music with schizophrenia and capitalism might be much harder. I guess if you are listening to this 10-notch issue without earlier having seen the titles of the songs then you probably used to have no associations towards the aforementioned direction. Because it is a veritable instance of chilled-out music drifting somewhere between tranquil electronica, hovering beauty of ambient and more mundane indie and post-rock sound. It just picks you up and rolls you along with those serene orchestrations, serene piano music and smoothly knocked rhythms which used to pan within the aforesaid stylistic implications at a different degree. On the other side, you could never underestimate the role of forced propagandist value to hint at some problems even if the influences are no so direct. Thirdly it does have the reference of the title of a publication of the French philosophers Gilles Deleuze, and Félix Guattari. The release is a part of the discography of Tachyon. In a word, it is a bewildering issue which chats successfully invisible era between indie, ambient and emotive electronica coming in and leaving it in different combinations. It could be said each musical element contributes to a whole that is obviously more than the sum of its parts. The reception of the 41-minute issue by my side is very positive and filled with contentment in mu soul. I hope that our souls are not yet rotten and being in a schizophrenic stage due to some ravaging implications of capitalism. However, the communism is remarkably more destructive. If you are feeling yourself sullen by now and have no believe in that then have an immersive effort into investigation of the bygone century.

Captains Of Sea And War – Captains Of Sea And War (2016)

2419 Record Label

Bandcamp

• Alternative rock 
• Indie rock 
• Power pop 
• Art rock 
• Post-rock

Comment: it is always great pleasure to arrive at the discography of the Nethelands-based imprint 2419 Record Label due to the quality and diversity of aesthetics. In fact, you will never know what is the next turn in sound you while picking up on the discography nonetheless the issues are described with some hinting tags. For instance, the last outings being reviewed at Recent Music Heroes Basnie`s Les Pays-Bas (2008) was a haunting yet stupefying blend of spoken words, electronic music, post-classical progressions, tango, found sounds, drone pop, which in turn was imbued with a retro-futurist sensation. Tunnelbird`s Hohner Sessions (2015) takes up on blues influenced psychedelic garage rock with hints at raga and acid rock. However, with regard to the first named issue the recent issue is a starkly disparate case because of getting a booty by riding on the guitars and drums which at times are complemented by by hoarse, tortured, and softened vocals by the occasions and recherché keyboard stumbles. More profoundly, those eight alternative rock and post-rock and art rock drenched numbers from Barcelona, Catalonia used to swing between loud and lofty riffs and more restrained strums being at times converted into a blissful still life. By the way, the release will be finished off by a mellow acoustic ballad. In a word, the collaboration by Gerard Gual, Jose Martinez, David Montón and Àlex Garcia places it into a column of other solid releases of 2419 Record Label.  

t e l e p a t h テレパシ – 能力者 – 向かい合って (2014)

Bandcamp

• Chillwave 
• Seapunk 
• Glo-fi 
• Alternative 
• Indie 
• Mood music 
• Future soul 
• Soul 
• Screwed and chopped 
• Dreamwave 
• Vaporwave

Comment: I guess such sort of music could be considered an example of contemporary slowcore even if the contemporary people would denote it with the following tags like chillwave, chopped and screwed, seapunk, vaporwave etc. The artist takes much time to present his state of mind through those drowsy and languid meanderings; the length of the pieces ranges from 8 minute to 56 minute (sic!). He is like a spider who likes to seduce the victim and then eat him/her. However, I couldn't resist it because boredom is conjured up in such a way as if converted into the fluid of cerebral chemistry. It is sticky and tight by its consistency being haunting due to those slowed down vocal deliveries and drum pads and guitar chords. In comparison to the aforementioned slowcore genre it is slowed down for twice at least, chiming more like a freaked out soul delegate from the future. Indeed, it sounds like a harbinger of future soul drifting across the one and the same thread. I guess Ariel Pink's first issues could have been sounded it that fascinating way if being slowed down. But it is not an important point in that case. Once again, I am enthralled by the branching of the physical boredom of austere chords and somehow haunting sensuality coming out of it. It is a sort of minimal music, isn't it. The minimal sort of music of the zombies with regard to the penultimate track, for instance. What will be the next big thing with regard to the production side? Maybe intense states of madness and fury to be stretched out and then converted into the sonic files? I guess it could be a reasonable way to give music another spin in a contemporary key. In truth, there are up some more overtly chilled-out compositions either where the twisted point is more repressed. In a nutshell, it is a wondrous issue, which obviously does have its own disciples as well. For example, listen to Florian Wahl's brand new one 14.

Egrojj – Gambling EP (2014)

DAST Net Recordings

• Minimal techno 
• Tekno 
• Remixes 
• Dub house 
• Club dance
• Alternative dance 
• Tech-electro

Comment: fur sure, this 9-track outing is an intriguing one, where Egrojj`s compositions are interestingly remixed. The content of these tracks is emptied by emotions thereof allowing more space for rhythmic permutations through minimal approach. Indeed, the listener can follow the rigid, austere rhythmic patterns with quite static electronic and stereo effects, however, providing a dynamic and vivid background for the rhythms. Mostly the release runs in the vein of techno music, though there are up dub house frequencies and slight tekno and electro inflections either. Catchy basses are represented in the way to arouse one’s legs to shake up and down and one’s jaw to shift in a similar way. After having listened to this issue many times in a row it induced the philosophical question: what is the emotion by definition and ontologically? Is it a phenomenon, which either exists separately on its own or is it quite something that is either a relation or en effect between the subject and the object? The more you listen to it the more you can trace down of how sublimely it is panned with perceptual experiences. It is a great issue indeed, being a notch in the discography of DAST Net Recordings. Egrojj is assisted and remixed by his (imprint) buddies the likes of Eduard Colin, Flatch, THE WEB, Serious Cut, and Strehm, Mortus Inc. .
