Jaroslaw Lewandowski – Overhearing (2009)

Chill

/Glitch techno, IDM, Deep techno, Experimental electronica/

Comment: although this 11-track issue could be considered an example of dance music it is actually much more than just a mere groovy vibe act. Indeed, it is based upon crunchy IDM-alike techno beats yet the Polish producer JL is handy at embellishing those rhythms with glimmering and warm synthesised vibes as if coming out of the nexus of the Earth or layers of otherworldly still life. For instance, listen to a track called Yesterday Night of being an instance of ideal pop music. These tracks just start off from nowhere to progress and manifold slowly yet consistently during the pathway. The artist`s music is about beats and intimacy wrapped up in velvety tones and enchanting predilection of thought-provoking sonic ideology. Even the most minimal and austere moments over there, for instance, 14b (Surrealizm Remix), Intro reveal their nature of being ready to ensnare their victim. In a word, it is a case of meta-techno wound up in front of the listener.

Deprivation – Corona (2013)

Chill

/Breaks, Acid jazz, Chill out, Mood music, Chilltronica, Downbeat, Nu jazz/

Comment: Deprivation`s album Corona is something about to bring forth an untangled touch between rhythms and upper melodic layers. If the electronic music would be an undomesticated animal with untamed nature and apparent wish to bite you then electronic music would be something like Corona after the training by Deprivation. More concretely, frequently rhythmic shuffles are embellished with mellow electronic/acid jazz whiffs as if a gentle breeze coming out of somewhere to caress your ears and tranquilize your hot-headed temper. Although there is represented a bunch of 8 tracks in total all of that results in a seamless flow of music without any substantial turns and forays. In true, piano chords are variegated with some excited breakbeat/jungle rhythms but it is something about to happen incessantly thereby being an essential part of the outing. It might be the title track conjures difference due to creating a feeling as if you`re walking through the streets in Paris. In a word, listen to it and get a part of it.
