New Release _Slylab - Love Will Conquer All
Slylab is Deon, an indonesian citizen living in Bandung, West Java and he produces electronic music and explores the melodic shoegaze and downtempo sub-genres since 2005.
The first time I listened to this EP, it invaded me with a long sense of calm provided directly to my brain by the polyphonic melodies and minimal beats produced by this talented indonesian. If you are searching for open space for a little space odissey, then take this release into your digital bag right now.
Recommended to be played in track list order and to be listened by the end of the day, after landing in the distant galaxy of
L.O.V.E.

Sometimes find the chaos as a way of musical expression is not simple, and even more complicated is to have a rhythmic order over the chaos ... qualood have a high musical contrast between the chaotic ill ambiences and trip like beat style.

New Release _Drama Jacqua - Puo e Mixa
I feel immense difficulty finding the right words to describe this EP "Puo e Mixa" from Drama Jacqua and the excellence of its contents, so if you could use the adjectives in hundred forms, it certainly would still be insufficient.
You must taste it, download and listen to it, but let me warn you: listening to this EP is absolutely addictive!

New Release _Millim - MilEPlim
Phillip Mimoso a.k.a. Millim is a Portuguese Canadian citizen living in Montreal (Canada), who's been making music since 1995... From beats to soundtracks to soundscapes, nothing can stop his exploration of new sounds and ideas. Do not be fooled by the introduction track where Millim explores the hop beats in a hip oldschool glitch style, because in the next tracks the dish is more strong: great jungle beats merged with some space bass synths and even violins can be heard everywhere, synchronized in a proper warping style.
This four track EP of is a well done presentation card of this producer who now joins the phonotactics catalog.
I can guarantee that after you listen to these tracks, you will want more... but for now that's all folks.

New Release _Motown Junkie - Self Hypnosis
Motown Junkie's new effort is a complex piece of work, which could have been made in any place of the world, since it travels around it musically. You realize it from the opening title track to the wonderful Hotdrop contribution in the closing "Row". You could hear it on a train ride, no borders blocking your path, and the music would fit that trip easily.

New Release _Burguez - Back to the game
Back in Phonotactics, Burguez this time presents 5 songs not less addictive than a good game. As usual Burguez uses film samples and their daily loop environments to complete his rhythmic creations ranging from the hip hop structure and detuned downtempo, without leaving aside the synthetic beats that already are being characteristic of his sound.

New Release _Kinder Mecanique - Contradiction Level
Sometimes the invisible line between conventional and experimental is continuously abducted by less orthodox musical concepts. Contradiction Level is a good example of persistence in exploring languages of assembling video applied to the sound.
Francisco Costa aka Kinder Mecanique is Portuguese born in Alentejo and with a considerable experience in video production, this work that was for 9 years left on the bookshelf waiting to be edited is a work of weird samples taken from old pc games and other strange sources to make an audio narrative. Not resist to listen in this subliminal story .. good trip
