archipel accolade

google this:

The_Gulf_Stream--Micro-Shima_EP-(ARCH088)-WEB-2012-SiBERiA

preview here

i've been spending lots of time with the entire EP since last week's scene catchup, and i'll more than likely pick something here for my Smokers Delight selection late in the year..

Montreal duo The Gulf Stream earns a place of choice on Archipel by sculpting a highly emotional, yet cinematographic piece of art with an EP titled "Micro-Shima." Playing multiple times at MUTEK and featuring in well known local festival, the duo also have gain a lot of experience in producing evolutive atmospheric music that takes the listener with tension and beauty. In the self titled "The Gulf Stream", they showcase a part of their soul with touching melodies and a wonderful use of the sonic palette. Dissolving Coffee machine is probably a chant to what most music producer affectionnates the most: caffeine. It is deep and warm, open and spacious. It certainly is a complementary song for the early morning. InnerSpace closes the effort with force and power, yet emotional and calm at the same time.

i collect everything on the Archipel imprint based out of Canada, owned and managed by the Pheek.

progressive breaks plucking

google this:

Kirill_Aravanis_Pres_Elead-Agnus_Dei__Minerva-WEB-2012-WAV

preview here

it's track 1 that i'm completely in love with on this release.. beautifully matched accompaniment to John '00' Fleming's "The Astrophysical Nebula" (◄◄).

"Agnus Dei" is Latin for Lamb Of God; a very fitting name for the production i think..

thanks very much again group WAV <3

i'm very much enjoying the latest selection by Hernán Cattáneo (Resident Episode 54).. very pleased to see the names Abdomen Burst (◄◄), Baunder, Fretwell, Chable and Li-Polymer in the second part, who all work expertly in the fields of progressive house and progressive breaks..

also very happy to see music from TJ Kong & Modular K on Pokerflat featured in this selection as well as Jimpster's lastest podcast; both excellent picks (◄◄).

google this:

Daniel_Schenfert_-_Monk-(10040162)-WEB-2012-YOU

preview here

interesting two track EP.. it's track 2 here in particular that's tickling me.

i'm still finalising scene catchup #009.. there's been a lot of good releases.. and i just added a third plucking to the entry below..

progressive house pluckings

google this:

Damabiah-Le_Sang_Et_La_Seve__Remixed_Vol_2-WEB-2012-WAV

preview here

this is the second part of Damabiah remixes released on Natura Sonoris which is a label based out of Madrid in Spain, owned and managed by the incredibly respectable Henry Saiz.

it's tracks 3, 4 and 5 that i've been spending time with on this release, but it's the Cid Inc. remix in particular i've been relishing. i follow all of this artist's works and you can find more information about him, here..

and moving on to an even more recent release issued by group WAV:

+ F-Act-Skinny_Dipping__Incl_Lemon8_Remix-WEB-2012-WAV

even though they've highlighted the Lemon8 remix in their release name (which is fair enough).. for me, it's all about the Josh Abrams remix here. in any case, it's another excellent release from LuPS Records.

i've also taken quite a fancy to some recent glitch infused prog house to be found on track 2 from the following release on the Liquid Grooves imprint:

+ Diego_Iglesias-Step_Back-(LQDG0084)-WEB-2012-BPM

soul pills

there's been an excellent selection of deep/soulful house releases this morning from group BSiDE (that's what they specialise in mostly).. and so here are my picks from them:

+ DJ_Whisky-City_Lights_EP-(6009701573657)-WEB-2012-BSiDE // tracks 3, 8
+ From_P60_with_Lisa_Shaw-Magic-(KSS_1366)-WEB-2012-BSiDE // tracks 3, 5
+ Kivisoul-So_Good_EP-(GRTX031)-WEB-2012-BSiDE // track 1
+ Marchesini_and_Majuri-Free_Your_Love-(DST1072)-WEB-2012-BSiDE // track 1
+ Oded_Nir-Into_Your_Heart_( ... )-(SR008)-WEB-2012-BSiDE // track 1
+ Stereo_Mutants_Ft._Marcus_Pearson-I_Got_A_Feelin-(DR001)-WEB-2012-BSiDE // track 3
+ Yogi_(Random_Soul)_and_Steve_K-Rhythm_Turns_Me_on-(UM063)-WEB-2012-BSiDE // track 3

i'm gonna be caning that Stereo Mutants track for quite a while.. thanks very much BSiDE <3

soul pills and soul injections (◄◄) are different   ;-)

dark minimal plucking

google this:

Kryss_Hypnowave-Space_Trip-(FTR046)-WEB-2012-1KING

preview here

it's only track 1 on this release that i've been enjoying (although track 3 isn't half bad).. it doesn't really come under my definition of 'spooky tech' (◄◄), but there's definitely a very tasteful sense of foreboding about the production..

it's also somewhat reminded me of Mia's Dont Catch My Soul; i posted that EP during one of my old cycles 4 years ago which has been downloaded over 7 thousand times so far.. still available here should you be interested.
