Stand out tracks: They say: “We were fond of this project from the first moment we heard about it. The music is great and absolutely what we love to listen to, and all the people involved are highly professional and enthusiastic. We love how the sounds and the illustration / design fit together and it was a lot of fun working on it.” Atelier Olchinsky
They say: In Hataken’s own words “Life is what we choose, and sound can lead our thoughts. So, I simulate many experiences by music to realize what is important in life. This is why I make music for people! Ascension is very close to us and subtle. It is all around us, and manifests in natural ways if we are open. Surprising things happen which release us from the gravity of our usual life. When we tune in to these subtleties, our hopes, thoughts, and imagination change with this new perception of value.”
For the fans of: love, atmospheric, souldrenched electronic music. They say: FaltyDL’s move away from a US take on garage has resulted in a masterful brand of atmospheric, souldrenched electronic music. Hardcourage is about when things are in Limbo and having the courage to carry on,” says Drew Lustman. Paradoxically, the end result is FaltyDL’s most definitive and assured release to date.
They say: As a very special guest Marcel Dettmann returns to 50 Weapons for a celebration of classic techno. Similar to his sold out “Deluge / Duel” single from December 2011, Marcel Dettmann affirms his love of purified, pumping techno.
They say: Recently launched Japanese label Torque returns with a superb second release featuring an all-star selection of artists from around the globe. Rising Osaka-based dj/producer Shine delivers Ghost Dance, a unique combination of minimal and tribal techno with strong cinematic elements, remixed by Angel Alanis, Alexander Kowalski, Masa Ueda, and Dj Hightech.
They say: The Stockholm based Bambook & Netzell are quickly establishing their selves as a force to be reckoned with. Bambook & Netzell invite you to the Swedish capital Stockholm with their first EP on Frameworx Music, so dress warmly and let the winter breezes take you on a mind-blowing trip.
