Experience "Supernova" and the quality its 4 tracks provide essential for those who like their House & Techno on the authentic side.PRIVACY POLICYPrivacy Policy have been writing and producing music together and on solo projects for over a decade. They've released music on Goldbrick Records and solo on Boe Recordings and Lime Street Music amongst others. These two tracks for Nightflight are for the dance floor and were inspired by longer dj sets performed together over the years.KHONSUKhonsu’s signature dreamy deep dubby sound- exploring the murky visceral grooves in the boundaries between deep techno and house – is soothing for mind, body & soul. His musical journey as a deejay, producer and promotor started in his hometown Ghent in Belgium. After residing a year and half in Amsterdam and working briefly at Delsin records, he’s back in Belgium playing in clubs like Chalet Club and Katerblau in techno capital Berlin, Barcelona’s Switch Pocket Club but also Belgian techno institute Fuse in Brussels. He has been producing music for several years but now it’s time for his first release on Nightflight Records.JOHN SHIMAJohn Shima doesn’t need much introduction. He is making deep emotional futuristic techno, with an old school spacey Detroit groove. Bordering the line between techno & electro, sounds shape the track and the beats follow the mood using old analogue hardware, and lots of live jamming. He features releases on Boe Recordings, Exalt Records, Firescope, Subwax Excursions, Distrikt Paris, Central Processing Unit…

Far over on the west coast of the USA we find a room full of drum machines, samplers and keyboards. Hard at work is Israel ‘Iz’ Gravning aka Tone Scientist, who’s been using this Seattle studio to produce genre-defying future music for more than 25 years.An avid student of jazz fusion, hip hop, house, techno and others, he was galvanised to build his own studio after hearing jungle and drum & bass on a trip to London in 1995. His musical course thus intersected with the collectives then pushing new dancefloor sonics rooted in the rich tradition of Black music – like Nuyorican Soul over on the east coast, and the new broken beats of IG Culture, Dego and Bugz In The Attic in London. Then, in the early 2000s, Iz put out a handful of EPs under different aliases, including ‘Lion Dub’ on the Guidance sublabel Subtitled, but soon stepped back from the public stage. That’s not to say he stopped making or playing music, though. Far from it. Fast forward two decades and our very own Walrus, chilly but happy in the depths of a Toronto winter, happened across ‘Lion Dub’ in the legendary Play The Record store. Intrigued, he tracked Iz down and discovered he had been active all this time. A short email exchange later and this 2xLP of archive material was born.These six tracks explain fully why Iz calls his studio the ‘Time Machine’: vintage equipment and instruments converse with up-to-date software; classic sounds and textures twist into fresh configurations; and Iz’s own creativity and musicality sings to us from a location beyond the trappings of time or genre.All music written, produced and mixed by Israel Gravning aka Tone Scientist in Seattle/Washington between 2005 - 2008 except for “Things Get Done”, written and produced in 2003, and “Bossman”, originally produced by Kris Moon and remixed by Tone Scientist. Zion12 was the name used by Israel for releasing Jungle/DnB and when DJing professionally around Seattle and elsewhere. Mastered & cut by Stefan Betke at Scape Berlin.
