Christopher Ledger
Dark Moon EP

Belia Winnewisser’s debut EP on Die Orakel, 'Mother Earth Took Poison In Her Soil', has her sonic exploration grounded in one of our most pressing topics to day, comprised of braindancing breakbeats intertwined with radiophonic artefacts, lingering between warm melodic pads. With a slightly melodramatic tone, 'Mother Earth Took Poison In Her Soil' sets a pressing call to Side A, while 'Interlude 1' is a short radiophonic story to engage with your own imagination. This blends into a warm and melodic 'Dancing Patterns', embedded in soft pads. 'Haze' presents a darker facet of this EP, using eery synth pads and tension inducing fast arpeggi. 'Interlude 2' literally tells a sonic fireside tale, before 'Unattainable Promises' accelerate their breakbeats, intertwining with lush pads on half-step passages and sonic layers of different tempi.

Active for over 25 years as a music journalist, writer and author of books, Giosuè Impellizzeri was, for a period, also a composer. Through several records recorded since 2002 as DJ Gio MC-505, he has developed a sound obtained on the crossroads between chiptune, electro and synthetic disco with a few glimpses of funk, techno, house and EBM. Now completely dedicated to journalism, Impellizzeri has stopped creating music for over a decade. In the drawer, however, he still had unpublished tracks, written and produced in the past, and five of them now end up in this EP entitled "Saved From Oblivion": from the cinematic "Il Bacio" to the legoweltian "Jupiter Lander", from the biting "Picnic On Pluton" "to" Sexy Song "that plays with 80s synth pop up to cybernetics" The Eyes Of Memory "in which you can see trails of SID style. Made between 2005 and 2006 and recorded live in a combination of hardware and software instruments, the tracks of the EP are subject to an adequate and effective mastering.

return_backspace is excited beyond measure to present to the world the music of a young marco repettoconceived during the heydays of atari-sequencing, under his beloved moniker planet love, the bern-residing, italian producer at long last will disclose some of his earliest compositionsin nine tracks - spanning three extended plays - the headstrong musician demonstrates ingenuity once again; amalgamating otherworldly soundwaves and advanced production technique into a one-off kind of seminal technonew era e.p. makes the initial part in the triptych, and unfolds through its title track; an extraterrestrial soundscape sculptured autumn ’92, heavily reverberating repetto's profound fascination for 1950s science fictionflowers was recorded during the last days of ‘90, and is one the earliest experiments conceived under the alias. the track is a well balanced blend of measured psychedelic, and grand lushness, with vigour that has zero decayed. supremely effective at the end of a long night’s rave bird song is early ‘92 in full effect, and might just contain one of the catchiest bass-lines known to mankind. topped off with luxuriant pads, sweet samples, and irresistible bleep, repetto truly outdid himself on this one; romantic techno rarely gets more soulfulthree decades after their initial recording to digital audio tape, the natural naivety within each of these productions still is extremely tactile; reminiscent of a time when electronic music was in its infancy

New imprint Distant Waters, from Nantes, France is an ode to high seas, far away oceanic lands and unknown marine wildlife. Co-founder of the label, Sans Sucre, who released previously on Antam records and Planet Tapes offer this first EP from Distant Waters. The A1 of this four-track EP, Tetrodoxin, is the starting point of the aquatic story, with whales samples and aquatic groove, it fit perfectly to warm up a wet dance-floor. A2, Aqualung is inspired by asian groove, with some tastes of Yellow Magic Orchestra matching with 303 elements. The B-side follows up with Sequential Hermaphrodism, A downbeat track with an heavy hip hop inspired bassline. Then it finish with Ampullae Of Lorenzini, the most dancefloor oriented track of the EP, with a mysterious sweet voice.
