After 6 years, label boss Ewan Jansen circles back to Red Ember’s main with a new EP. A concept journey equally for the mind and the dancefloor that strays from his house roots with themes of mysticism pushing wider rhythm palettes and creative synthesis.The opener ‘Solanoid’ marches over the horizon; a solid progression of sun-scorched chords, goaded by some distinctive chanting synths and driving bass.‘Caravania’ answers as a stomping IDM-esque fable, joined by bubbling rhythms on the ground and a central writhing serpentine synth guided from high above by voices unknown. The flip side quickly de-camps from the physical, with the organic ‘Mistik’ seeing elements of rave and tribal electronica driven by tuned kicks, sub-bass and resonant rhythms.Lastly, a stoic tome of stone and water is left with ‘Gecko’ – a skittish chunky groove, with isolated melancholic tones that find harmony in the end.

After 3 compilations featuring various artists, Hypnotic Mindscapes delivers their first Extended Play material by label owner Cosmic JD. Laelaps EP features 3 original cuts by the Hypnotic artist, plus an astute remix by Ecuadorian electronic music pioneer Nicola Cruz. 4 versatile, dancefloor-tested tracks ranging from deep techno, 80’s electro and trance-infused acid. A kind form of telekinesis, giving meaning to our broken systems. Relax, within the quackery of stability. Includes a color-print inlay by artist Abbas Rizvi.

Momentaufnahmen is a new label run by German DJ/Producer Pascal Stürmer. The first release, a debut under the new moniker 'Active Nature', sets the tone for the upcoming releases with 4 tracks of deep and reduced techno.
