Absorver – Soils I (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Electronica, The Latest|Tags: Absorver, Chill-hop, Glitch, idm, Jazz-hop, Lo-fi House, Review (EN-RU), Study Beats|

“-Absorver- trip to a parallel world, where lies the track -Soils I-. When there is no need for any complex music arrangement, and the soul asks for comfort and privacy. Lo-fi at its best manifestation.”

“-Absorvations- параллельный мир, в котором на перекрёстке его миров особняком стоит трек -Soils I-. Когда нет необходимости перегружать музыку сложной аранжировкой, а душа просит уюта и уединения. Lo-fi в лучшем своём проявление. ”

-Nagamag.com

Thematically the EP attempts to portray an inevitable cycle of feelings. A journey from a cold harsh unknown, from where you wish to return, followed by glances of hope and relief as you approach familiar territory, into a brief moment of comfort, which is soon replaced by everyday annoyances and uncertainties before finally regressing once again as all which made you leave or yearn for a change in the first place reemerges in unbearable cacophony and you want all of it to just freeze...until you need it again.

Musically the overall atmosphere of each segment is conjured by distorted, glitchy instrumentation, minimal repetitive melodies, beats and samples with tape-like lofi processing. Synths, saxophones, warped guitars, unintelligible vocal samples, ambient textures, experimental randomisations.

EP Released on february 26th 2021 on Mai Lei Bel as vinyl and digital.

NOTI – dante
(Spotify)

“The success of track -dante- rests on its three pillars; melodic lounge sound, relaxed chill-hop rhythms and pulsating, captivating vocals. Your music library collection will soon be richer. Enjoy!”

“Успех трека -dante- держится на его трёх китах; мелодичность lounge музыки, непринуждённые ритмы chill-hop и пульсирующая мелодия пленительного вокала. Ваша библиотека станет на одну золотую коллекцию богаче. Наслаждайтесь!”

-Nagamag.com

NOTI’s new track Dante dances back and forth between laidback lo-fi and soulful R&B. All but shrouded behind the curtain of the intricate instrumental, an anonymous Italian artist recites the introduction to eponymous poet Dante Alighieri’s Canto V of Inferno (Divina Commedia), instilling the composition with an aura of history and literary mystique. NOTI’s latest release soars to its climax when Anna Rossinelli’s ethereal voice enters the stage and brings Dante‘s final act to a triumphant close. Put your feet up, top off your glass of Chianti - and enjoy!

Benjamin Noti is a Basel-based producer and musician. He has worked with Audio Dope, Steff la Cheffe, The Rumours, Greis, Noti Wümié, Manillio, Anna Rossinelli, James Gruntz, Sam Himself, and the Basel Symphony Orchestra, among many others.

easing is Noti’s first instrumental solo-production. The recent lockdown afforded the highly sought-after songwriter and instrumentalist an opportunity to craft this production at his home studio. The 5-song EP showcases Noti’s wide-ranging abilities as a songwriter and musician, and draws on his rich experience as a fixture in the Swiss scene. Noti’s diverse influences, unified by his distinct, original style, shine through on lead single “85km/h”; an ode to poised motion, the track pulsates, subtly speeds up and slows down but remains ultimately unstoppable - much like the artist himself.

Peter Lix – Out In The Cold
(Spotify)

“Light Drum & Bass masterpiece for your special playlist. Chilling atmosphere with cool drops, echoing vocal samples and a bit of hidden power. Prepare a cup of tea and offer yourself an alternate and unforgetable experience.”

-Nagamag.com

Hot on the heels of the success of Over Your Soul, Peter Lix serves up another emotive slice of soulful Drum & Bass.

Championed by the likes of LTJ Bukem, Los Contreras (LDC Radio), Scott Allen (Soul Deep Recordings) Facedee (Flex FM), and Sound Territory, Out In The Cold is receiving heavy support across the radio and podcast spectrum.

Out In The Cold immediately sets a pensive mood, with lonely piano chords and a soulful vocal sample dominating the intro. The track builds with swirling high hats, subtle melodic layering and warm pads, before dropping into smooth beats and a throbbing sub bass.

As the track rolls in, sombre saxophone riffs intermittently dominant the ear space before dissipating into the distance. Clever beat edits, percussive layering and subtle filtering dance around a persistent chord progression, teasing the ears and keeping the head nodding.

Out In The Cold is chilled but thought-provoking, reflective yet energetic. The soundscape paints a tapestry of solitude, sorrow and life on the fringes of hope, while at the same time maintaining a hooky quality that will make it a staple feature in your playlist for months to come.
