MORWELL – THERE’S NO TIME

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As a prelude to releasing his first album, Souls, Morwell is dripping a taste of what is to come.  Two tracks with fire remixes from accomplished DJs Manny and FLP.  There’s No Time shuffles and warms with dulcet synth chords and a skewed vocal.  The track has a nostalgic edge which is transfixing when on loop.  Check out Channels as well to enjoy massive chops.  Listen / Buy[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

FARAJI HERITAGE EXPERIMENT – MWILI

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Mwili means body in Swahili, and this body of work has lots to admire.  Organic and electronic, it’s easy to picture yourself at a select concert sat in front of the in tune band as they jam, swept up in every rift strummed.  Faraji Heritage Experiment gives many the thought of an unnamed group of musicians and vocalists creating wonders, but could it all be the work of one Moroccan producer?  Solstice is an apt choice, not only because of the time of year, but because it showcases the flavour of the album.  Out on Cascade Listen / Buy

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In 2020 Tymotica released a festival ready EP, Incoherent Death Experience, with four tracks and two remixes.  It was a greatly received piece which continues to get drawn in many DJ sets.  This month sees two more remixes come to the fore in a release out on Munich based Ruffhouse Industries.  The Iron remix takes on Incoherent Death Experience and rolls a terrorist bassline on a 2 step break, and Swift reworks Prox System into an upbeat jungle sound.  Listen / Buy[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Full of weight and intensity from the outset, Shangri La offers powerful Trip Hop sway whilst building a story that flourishes as the sections move on.  A serious vibe with a skip in the undertone that sends the listener into a DnB bounce.  Throe has continued to push genre bending music across the electronic dance spectrum, both in his production and his DJ sets.  The Bristol based producer is releasing on his familiar Redacted label.  Listen / Buy[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
