Padre Tóxico – Cellular Respiration (Spotify)
“Incredible, addictive sound palette in the new album of Padre Tóxico - LUI. Coolness solar breeze onshore winds caressing rays of the midday sun and rainbow rhythm pulsing in your head, this is what you feel when you listen on - Cellular Respiration - track from this album.”
“Невероятная, притягательная звуковая палитра в новом альбоме Padre Tóxico - LUI. Прохлада солнечного бриза береговых ветров, ласкающие лучи полуденного солнца и радужный ритм пульсирующий в твоей голове.”
-Nagamag.com
Music possesses a quality that can transcend time, that's why it is never too late to follow through on your passion. Padre Tóxico is proving that to everyone with his latest records. He has been a fan of hip-hop since it’s inception and grew up during the golden era with dominant forces and timeless albums dropping left and right. Artists like Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Nas, ATCQ got him interested and sparked a fire so strong that it followed him for decades to come. In more recent times, he had that same wave of excitement strike him when he discovered electronic music from musicians such as Jon Hopkins, Kiasmos, Synkro or Stimming.
Just six months ago is when he had the realization to attempt the creative process himself. While his sound is still developing, he has taken his two loves and produced records with the stylings of both, with EDM tracks like "Rugged” and lofi boom-bap like “Summer in L.A.” showing off his innate diversity. On 3.05.2020 after 6 months of work, Padre Tóxico releases two LP's - electronic "Synesthesia" and hip-hop flavoured "Life supplement". 3rd ration of Padre's music arrived on 24.08.2020 on LP called "Mandala".

There isn't a single moment I can remember where I wasn't in love with music, so I know this is just something that's always been inside me.

townsend – Responsible (Spotify)
“Carefully composed melodies with lyrics from an experienced singer. Townsend drives you up to his point of view in an expressive way of singing. Just sit back and relax!”
-Nagamag.com
This song is about the post-breakup-hookups that usually happen for a few months after a relationship ends. It's hard to just stop seeing each other completely and usually both parties play a role in instigating. In my case, even though both of us were guilty of texting each other the "come over" text, I couldn't help but feel responsible.

Nashville's John Townsend is a songwriter, musician and producer who releases music as "townsend".

Lauge:
I remember as a kid listening to CD's from artists like Astral Projection, Jean-Michel Jarre, Shakta and Miranda. The sound that these artists represented back then hit me instantly and I wanted to explore how music like this was created. That eventually led me on the path of music creation and I worked my way through a few genres before landing in the ambient genre.

Ambient Neo Classical with Post Rock and Film Score influences
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
We Dream of Eden:
I've been a music producer for over a decade mostly producing for singer songwriters and hip hop artists. Then I began dabbling in film music. I spent a year composing my own music just for a fun side project. That project became We Dream of Eden. My goal with WDEO has always been to create "sonic landscapes" with uplifting instrumentals.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
We Dream of Eden:
I remember my grandfather used to play a game with me where he asked me to pick 5 notes from anywhere on the piano and he would turn it into a song. It was so amazing to me. I think I've been trying to get there ever since... to be unafraid to just create with the things that are in front of me and not over think things.

-Nagamag.com
Warm Ears Music continues to expand its roster as they release a new single, “Solar” from German producer Deskai.
Deskai produces a wide array of electronic music but is no stranger to the DnB scene; he’s been bringing his atmospheric and jungle inspired creations to life in his Berlin based studio since 2005, where he is also a Mix & Mastering Engineer.
“Solar” is a two-track single within which Deskai captures two distinct and recognisable moods from the early days; laid back Jazz infused Breakbeats, and soulful yet reflective Drum & Bass. These are not peak energy, hard hitting tunes; rather they are carefully constructed grooves reminiscent of the intelligent DnB era.
Whilst the label loves big dance floor tunes, they will always represent the roots of the genre. Warm Ears Music is always looking to shine light on music that inspires, which Deskai brings in bags.
https://deskaimusic.com/
Oliver Reissig also known as Deskai, Synox, Dubaxis and Spasmik is a versatile producer, DJ, drummer and mastering engineer originally from Paris, France and based since 2012 in Berlin, Germany.
His great fondness for the music and club scene of the 90’s has inspired him to produce and mix tracks influenced by this legendary period in music history. To bring the masses a fresh sound created with an old school style, yet with new production techniques, has driven Deskai to continue on his path as both creator and lover of music.
With strong worldwide dj support of his music from LTJ Bukem (Good Looking records), DJ Ink (Renegade Hardware), Renaat Vandepapeliere (R&S records), Blu Mar Ten, John B, Seba, Electro Soul System, Stunna, Mav, Future Engineers, LM1, Eschaton and more, Deskai has released and signed numerous drum & bass tracks to labels such as Renegade Hardware, Scientific Records, Offworld Recordings, Modulate Recordings, Omni Music, Monochrome Recordings and Soul Deep Recordings over the past few years.
