Xenoton - Traveller

Xenoton ‎– Traveller
Label: TonAtom ‎– tonAtom.137
Format: 7 × File, FLAC, Album
Country: Germany
Released: 15 Mar 2015
Genre: Electronic
Style: Electro
Artwork – Laura Marie Reinwarth
Photography By – Laura Marie Reinwarth

The tracks on "Traveller" do without striking effects and fashionable frills. instead the listener can expect clean elaborate electro sounds that focus on an aspect that has been put aside in many other places: composition and melodics. the songs deploy these features to tell us about moods that oscillate between wanderlust, homesickness, well-being and mere existence."Traveller" is deliberately less percussive and emphasizes the narrative facetes of the melodies.
This album, although almost classical at its core, develops its very own modernity.  The combination of highly pleasing feel-good components  and tension-building bass and lead lines develops the typical Xenoton charm.

The two
remixes complement this release excellently. Both reinterpret the
original track in their very own ways by adding something new to the
already described characteristics. Abjective adds some ruptured unrest
to "camden lock" revealing a somewhat different aspect of the track. Weldroid quite properly underlines the rocking (or at least
head-nodding) character of "friedrichshain" with massive beats. Both
remixes are not added just for being there but they add fascinating
aspects to Xenoton's music and enhance the whole release.
 

Listening to "Traveller" is fun, while repeated listenings reward through
the discovery of new details. It is highly recommended to go on the next
part of the journey with this travel guide.

M-PeX - ODÝSSEIA

Smile, Breathe, Unwind & Flow......
A lovingly crafted, delicately assembled album; a gate to another dimension.

M-PeX - ODÝSSEIA
Label: Enough Records ‎– enrmp364
Format: 12 × File, Double-album
Country: Portugal
Released: December 20th, 2014
Genre: Electronic
Style: Laidback, Acoustic, Fusion

M-Pex (aka Marco Miranda); Tradition embraces modernity in a relationship as promiscuous as it is fruitful and truly interesting. M-PeX is a project that allies the Portuguese Guitar to electronic music, and dares to explore musical landscapes never visited before.
A bold experiment that sets a test for our ears, that dares to break down clichés and which proves that traditional music can also be modern, or vice-versa. Imagine the crystalline sound of a Portuguese Guitar. Imagine a laptop knocking out electronic rhythms. M-PeX is just that, electronic music with Portuguese Guitar. Or maybe it's Portuguese Guitar with electronics.

And Exile - Aleph

"The journey starts tonight, and I don't know where it will end. All I can tell you, is that you've already started, years ago, and you've already know the places we will go, but some of them will strike you as unfamiliar, uncomfortable and odd. Do not despair, for it is the sound of your longing soul, a threnody for the life you leave behind, a lamentation for every broken bone and every promise torn apart... we will rise, one last time... before the end." - And Exile

And Exile is Jorge G. Alarcón (aka Blutspan) from Valdivia, Chile, at the very end of the world. He initiated his path on electronic music circa 2003.

23:59 & Sobrio - Mood of Clouds

Clouds float by the sun, making shadows and shaping figures in the sky, colored by warm beams of the sunset. The clouds look dense from the earth. However, if anyone tries to touch them, they would only find a vague haze getting farther from away, like a skyline. The same happens with "Mood of Clouds" album sound. It twists and wraps around a masterful image, not giving any chance to get closer.The higher the game climbs above the surface, the thicker and delicate it becomes creating natural and peaceful atmospheres. Sometimes it's a sad sound, sometimes it's petting and hushing, expressively twisting, or even dizzying almost falling into anabiosis - all hues of air moods rolled in one. Listen and fly away.

Nucleoheart - Goodbye Hegemony

"We live in Hegemony. This abnormal system where worthless things are valued, and values are pushed into the shadows. Dominated by hypocrisy and manipulated by trends, the system alienates you. It bombards you with empty noise, installing what is good... It has no order, no respect.
Welcome to the world without Hegemony. A world where sound is respected. We want you to slow down and think. We appreciate thinking. We want you to get into it - to savor every sound.
Here the value is what you create, not how much you can get out of it.
We say Goodbye Hegemony."
