Quick Picks

a2105971281_10

Cold Tear brings us another glorious compilation of deep techno goodness. This super chill long player is a great representation of the label and its artists, containing tracks from some of my favorite producers such as Coppice Halifax and Warmth! With a generous 15 track playlist, this is the kind of record you can put on for an evening at home or a nice long drive. Now available via Bandcamp.

Favorite Track: 5. Oliver Dombi – Worthless

Our 2015 edition of Futur[e]cho brings in a lot of new faces, retains some old ones and has a great feel of atmospheric techno. Everyone went above and beyond what we thought possible for tracks and this release will for sure surprise you. Lots of artists try out new styles to entice the listener that the music can always change as time goes by. Futur[e]cho 2015 is more of a chilled out bliss release, but still very much fits the themes of the series. So why don’t you take a journey along with us?

Summer Rain, by Mikrokristal & Echo Delta

Quick Picks

a3312986248_10

Now here is a fantastic record, courtesy of Cold Tear Records (Lithuania). Summer Rain is a phenomenal collaborative project by Mikrokristal and Echo Delta. Together they produce an impressive sound that is as rhythmic as it is fluid. The tone evokes those rain-soaked summer days, with percussion as light as raindrops and synths that wash over you entirely. It combines the emotional depth of deep ambience with trip-hop tendencies. I personally loved all the instrumentation on this album, which I would consider a master-craft of deep electronic music. The 6 track project is available via Bandcamp.

Favorite Track: 4. Snowman

Exposure, by Alex Humann

Archives brings us another stunning project from producer Alex Humann. He generously layers these three deep cuts with some seriously gorgeous sounds. Melodic, relaxing and round, the tone of the whole project is one of positivity and tranquility. Warmth jumps on board to provide track 4, a remix of track three, which really rounds out the whole project. You can listen or download via Bandcamp.

Favorite Track: 2. Interlude I

Alex Humann debuts on Archives with ‘Exposure’, where expands his own aesthetic through warm and organic sounds and subtle texture layers and field recordings. Three atmospheric and lush cuts with Alex very own approach to the dub

Moving EP, by VOIA // Glass Islands

Quick Picks

a1574610267_10

VOIA brings us this new EP with Glass Islands, a brief 3 minute journey with a very deep feeling. The project gains momentum and energy as the songs progress, with the first track drifting in ambient bliss leading to the third track with near-dancefloor rhythms and sultry vocals. Though short, it is a fantastic listen for a smokey evening or cruising around the neon nights…

Away, by Tile

Quick Picks

a2887636792_10

Lava Church has brought us a new techno-oddity, AWAY by Tile is a brooding swarm of electronic groves and groaning machines.

Over the years, Tile’s Jeff Busko has had a steady output of synthy jams that have slowly drifted into the realm of minimalist techno. Their latest release, Away, is a four-on-the-floor club banger sure to get your juices flowing. Meet me at da club, it’s going down.

Aphelion, by DT-90

Quick Picks

a0488455334_10

H y p e r c h i l l  creeps into my mind when I think of a way to describe this little 4-track album. The nature of the ambient textures that sit behind the understated rhythms gives the project a unique atmosphere! The sound is impressive, and so are the emotions it supports. Highly recommended listen.

Italian duo Dt-90 is the latest addition to Archives with their dark deep aesthetic. ‘Aphelion’ presents a great combination of noisy textures, misty ambiences and huge chord lines in four tracks, ranging from drone cuts to pure dub techno tracks.

I have been a fan of the chilled out sounds of Dublicator and Federsen from the days of Thinner netlabel, so I was very excited to find this little release pop into my feed. This 6 track project consists of Dublicator reworkings by the likes of Brickman, Federsen and Textural Being. This is a great relaxed little album, so if you enjoy it be sure to check out Dublicators full-length to get some context on these great remixes.
