Imugem Orihasam succeeds like no other to balance apparent opposites by using cool and clear transparency in contrast to the mesmerizing and warm pulsating soundscapes to create depth of the highest quality.A1 “Gleam From Distant Gate” is one of those tracks which seem quite unremarkable first, but with the time it creates a massiv hypnotic attraction, a wormhole-like effect you cannot escape from. That space seems endless, just right big enough to loose yourself in it. B1 “Misty Evening” seems to be just the right soundtrack to build an underwater metropolisis. It starts building a 2 minute elevated tension before its firering on all cylinders. B2 “Kotoni” is clearest balance and harmony.

Feted kosmische synthesizer wizards from Cleveland OH, Emeralds, have never had any of their music remixed before. Let alone having the title track from their acclaimed 2010 album reworked (twice) into a floor-filling behemoth by Daphni (aka Dan Snaith aka Caribou). “We toured together in 2010 and since then I’ve always wanted to play their music in my DJ sets. So I did my own version of this track”, says Snaith. “It’s one of those tracks that whenever I play it I can feel the energy in the room lift.” Luckily Emeralds were equally enthusiastic and so this unlikely hybrid see the light of day. …or rather the dark inside of a club.
Superb Deep House from Kim Brown, making her (his?) debut on the boutique Berlin imprint, Just Another Beat. Elegantly paced and carefully arranged, Brown’s first outing makes a strong impression. ‘Camera Moves’ sounds like The Burrell Brothers making out with Sven Weissmann, while ‘This Will Like Never Be The Same’ hits a hazy, nostalgic vibe with lush Balearic Boogie infusions.

News first surfaced over a year ago of Move D collaborating with Juju & Jordash on an analogue heavy live project entitled Magic Mountain High with the added promise of Workshop released material to follow. Several illuminating festival appearances and many months later and the Workshop label finally present The Schnitzel Box Vol 1, with three untitled productions from the trio that ensure the wait was worth it. Granted the freedom of the A Side, the opening track is allowed the time and space to incorporate both brooding analogue drone and sprawling key laden melodic glisten. Flip over and “Untitled 2” is quicker off the blocks, swiftly settling into a fizzing house jam rich in warm colour and tone and driven by crisp Roland rhythms, whilst the final arrangement is surely the most eminently danceable with yet more warm analogue patterns and Hitchcockian synth drones worming their way around a skipping techno beat.
From the Beautiful Granville Records archives, Tevo Howard Recordings is presenting this 12th digital release as the original recordings of the album Mind Blowin’ Lady by Flo Crew (For Lovers Only).
