#94 Top Releases in Ambient / Experimental

Release number thirty-nine sees the return of Luis León to Manjumasi. Luis is no stranger to the label, having previously released the Flaming Tree EP with Padre, as well as remixing Jamie Stevens on the Titans EP. Luis now teams up with his production and Blankhaus label partner Unseener for a showcase of expressive and expansive modern uptempo grooves. The title track Silent Starts is an evocative tension-builder that pulsates with percussive energy and a sense of positive urgency throughout. Were thrilled to welcome London-based wunderkind Tom VR to the label with his absolute fire Anthemix of Silent Starts, reworking the track with his signature deep rumbling basslines and a humanizing vocoder part. Completing the EP are a second uplifting original, Infinite Joy, and Rebirth, a delicate ambient piece that highlights this production partnerships sensitivity to nuanced sound design.
