William Ogmundson, with Insomnia offers you a door to dreams and feelings. Wonderful performed and with harmonies that will tickle your ears and goosepump you for sure, this solo neoclassical emotive piano flirts so much with nostalgy yet you feel a positive oulook within.
Pulsing, rhythmic, mysterious. Performed by the Athens Philharmonia orchestra, Brian Belet's "Stellar Nebulae: I. Emergence" captures the wonder we feel when looking up, away from where we are, into the stars
Obviously deeply passionate for soundtrack and neoclassical music, Harris Procopiou in his tracn "Renewal" dive us into a deep emotional state of cinematic harmonics with a nostalgic atmosphere, spicing the flavor of feelings with minimal synth arps. Brilliant emotive music.
Residing in the small ski town of Steamboat Colorado, electronic music producer Clay Meyer -- a.k.a. Chromadescent -- is turning out an exciting addition to the electronic music scene exploding in Colorado.
“Terple”, his gorgeous debut single, fuses recorded instruments and lush atmospheric textures with driving synths and downtempo psychedelic rhythms. The result is Chromadescent: entrancing soundscapes with subtle sonic layering that rewards repeat listens.
There’s a generous quality here, an ambient fullness that’s not overbearing, a sonic maturity surprising for a debut artist. In a recent interview, Meyer said of his creative ambitions: “I just want to make great music that resonates with people. Music touches your heart in a special way, and I want that for people."
In the long-term, Chromadescent has his sights on performing killer sets at some of the biggest festivals in the Mountain West and beyond. In the meantime, sheltering in place on an organic farm with five dogs, Meyer is diving deeper into crafting his rich,warm, and psychedelic compositions.
Meditative and engaging, Chromadescent’s organic, ambient electronica vibe is perfect for study beats, workout jams, or chill sessions with your homies.
His debut EP “Full Spectrum” is set to be released this fall.
Sbeady is an absolute family man and dedicates his new song to Vincent and Carlo, the two little boys on the cover. The producer from Krefeld has produced a very hopeful lofi beat, perfectly reflecting the innocence of the children with its loving piano melody and letting you always look positively into the future despite the difficult times
Lukas Poellauer comes back on fortunea with an ambitious 5 track ep. Mixing up house music with the use of traditional instruments and vocals by Spitting Ibex singer Aunty on some of the tracks.
The Departure EP starts off with 'Going Down' - an impressive introduction with reminiscences to early garage house records. 'Falling Back' follows up on A2: a tight bass is companied with piano-cues, glittery strings and a mysterious breakdown, that gives the listener a sort of a cosmic film-noire vibe.
The melancholy continues with the next piece. "Departure", the title-track of this record is placed on the B-side. A trumpet (performed by local musician Alex Valdés), a vibraphone, a smooth bass and beautiful chilled chords are the main elements, paired with field-recordings from the streets of Vienna. Lukas also recorded some jazzy cymbals from his acoustic drum-kit. This laid back, jazzy deep house tune certainly has the blues in it.
While Aunty was also present on the first track for a couple of lines, her voice is placed now more on the foreground with their party song ‚It’s All Good’ on B2.
The record closes with a danceable rework of ‚Departure’. Tieffrequent label head Siggatunez is responsible for this version.
This release will lighten up your day.
Vinyl is limited to 100% copies. There will be no repress!

Moonlight from Zadreed & MCB is a wonderful synthwave/synthop emotive theme, with lush harmonies and warm vocals. Its groove keeps your interest warm with its fat basslines and brilliant layering.
Facing forwards and backwards at the same time is a tricky production skill in House music. Those that know the roots of the genre well but also keep a close ear to the ground on modern movements and trends are able to work a magic formula in the studio that results in a product that could be from 1990 or 2020. Niko Marks has one of those brains that knows this and executes it with precision in his work and ‘No Fairy’ – a four track EP is a classic example of how to stay loyal to House music whilst keeping things fresh. Keeping the Detroit flag flying high and proud, Niko continues to pump out a sound that’s timeless and fully loaded with that magic vibe that this genre was built on.
Lead track ‘No Fairy’ is an upbeat and danceable number that locks down a classic House groove over a beautiful piano chord progression that slips and slides in and out of focus with some crafty phasing FX. The throwback percussive elements are right on time and unmistakably sourced from the iconic Roland drum kits that helped to inspire the genre. The upbeat string sections and switch in key turn ‘No Fairy’ into a wonky dreamlike dancefloor weapon. This is proper House music done with style and skill.
‘Carry Me’ is on the flip-side, but could easily have been a lead track by itself. Trina grabs the mic and takes to the skies with a glorious vocal that takes you away whilst Niko Marks provides a very well put together instrumental that’s right in tune with his classy style of old-meets-new House music. Niko’s ongoing production line shows us another reason why he’s a man to be keeping a close eye and ear on.
If you’re looking for something hypnotic, you’re covered by the Cheerios Mix of ‘No Fairy Tale Love’ which emits a more experimental and psychedelic atmosphere through a stack of synths that fly up and down the frequency spectrum with a neat rhythmic section. Should you wish to get lost in the music and be taken to another place through sonic goodness – this is the mix for you.
Wrapping up the EP we’re back in the capable hands of Niko Marks as he lays down a piano driven remix of ‘No Fairy Tale Love’ that fuses together vocal samples from the original over a series of strings and synths that take the mid-range through a journey as the squelchy bassline provides the foundations in the sub frequencies.
U2XProductions know how to keep us well fed with quality electronic music that touches the mind and soul. This latest effort from Niko Marks should and will take a proud place on the discography of this label which has provided us with so many memorable moments.

Australian psychedelic lo-fi house singer/DJ/producer Harry Nathan and UK born/Sydney based chill house pop producer Third Floor combine forces to deliver a beautifully crafted sonic love ballad ‘On Your Mind’
The Sydney based best friends delve into their diverse yet nostalgic sound pallet to co-create this unrequited love story.
‘On Your Mind” is about both the agony & coming to terms of the ending of a turbulent relationship. The haunting vocals are reminiscent of a false yet soothing hope to add to the begging question ‘Am I on your mind?’
On Your Mind delivers the above story sonically with lush warming pads, live teasing bass guitar, grooving percussion with the familiar vox chops from Third Floor. Wrapped up beautifully by Harry Nathan on the vocals, he sings this tale in his own unique style of story telling.
Written, Performed and Produced by Harry Nathan & Third Floor
