Two years after releasing the acclaimed Crash Recoil, Anthony Child aka Surgeon returns to Tresor with new LP, Shell~Wave. Retaining the minimal equipment list and studio-version-of-live-show-sets approach of the previous album in order to focus on the work itself, Shell~Wave is a deeply personal document of both where Surgeon is and has been, converging three decades of experience with a continued curiosity in the untested. To make this project, I had to dig really deep in terms of what my relationship was to techno; Ive been involved with it for a really long time and theres a lot about it I feel dislocated from, so I had to really think hard about what techno is to me. I often get asked what is techno to you? but I cant answer that with words; this album is the answer. From the complex, twisting track Infinite Eye to the caustic Soul Fire, the eight tracks that make up the body of the album are single-take explorations of the vast, hard yet minimal techno Child is synonymous with. Neatly dividing the record in two, the emotional centre of the record comes in the form of Dying, a vibrating, beatless piece that witha mantra-like vocal loop steeped in reverberating effects. Further echoes of dub production appear throughout the record as tracks like Divine Shadow, and Empty Cloud have an almost ever-present mist of reverberation, driven by the appearance of a new delay unit in the equipment list; while much of the philosophy of Crash Recoils creation is present, the process and the instruments have changed as Child again switches up his approach to studio work. This insistence on trying novel techniques doesnt preclude returning to old ones, as this use of modern digital machines with live, hands-on takes that are as inspired by 60s producer Joe Meek and 70s reggae as they are by this years synthesiser expos. For me, its an interesting experience returning to old techniques again after 30 years. [Im] always exploring and finding myself back at the beginning. Connecting the present with the past. This philosophy of time travel is inherent to the music itself as the synchronised loops repeat while the delay and effects branch out, forming unique eddies; distinct quantum moments within the circular whole; the future leaking through the spaces between the sounds. All of the concepts on the album are perfectly communicated through the painting by Taiwanese artist Jazz Szu-Ying Chen which suggests the movement of water, sound waves, and the chitinous shells of sea creatures.

Italian sound artist Marco Shuttle debuts on Astral Industries with AI-39. Alluring and evocative, Sonidos y Modulaciones de la Selva is a journey deep into the Amazon rainforest, seeking to capture its power and vastness, but also a rumination on the problem of its impending destruction.

Music From Memory is delighted to be turning 50 with a special release: Virtual Dreams: Ambient Explorations In The House & Techno Age, 1993-1997 (3xLP/2xCD). The first in a series of various artist compilations, alongside more in-depth artist focused releases, Virtual Dreams will delve into music produced during the 1990's that redefined the boundaries of 'Ambient'. This was music that explored the possibilities of Ambient within a new setting, created often by House and Techno producers for a world beyond dance floors but made very much with the pre-clubbing and post-clubbing listener in mind. When House and Techno exploded out of America in the mid 1980s a whole generation was transformed not only musically but also culturally and chemically speaking. Peaking, quite literally, with a second 'Summer of Love' in 1988, millions of young people would experience the life-changing ups of a new world but with it of course came the downs; enter the concept of a 'Chill-out' room. Whilst early Chill-out rooms lacked a specific sound and were often sound-tracked by music such as reggae and soul, slowly young Techno and House producers themselves became increasingly interested in developing a futuristic 'Ambient' soundtrack to a world beyond the thud of the main room. 'Ambient' in this new age now though had sharper teeth than in Brian Eno's key text for 'Music for Airports', instead here the sounds were the mode of transport rather than the backdrop. While the melodies were pretty, the soundscapes steered away from the pastoral, often dreaming of outer-space and technology as opening up transformative new dimensions. Much like in the first Summer of Love; the musicians were again exploring psychedelic, mind-altering and transcendental possibilities of music. And also, much as in the first Summer of Love, a psychedelic visual language would accompany the music. Now though the tracks would be accompanied by music videos, often utilising early CGI techniques, and they would look almost entirely to the future: envisioning technology, nature and humanity intertwined in a new Utopia. These were the Virtual Dreams of a new world. From Ambient and early Chill-out classics, to lesser known one-off projects, as well as Ambient deviations by some of House and Techno's leading producers, Volume One of Virtual Dreams features tracks by Bedouin Ascent, David Moufang, LA Synthesis, LFO, Marc Hollander, Mark Pritchard & Kirsty Hawkshaw, Richard H. Kirk and more.

To celebrate its tenth birthday, DeepDownDirty and its friendly community again demonstrate their love of all things acid with a bumper multi-genre edition of 303-flavoured tracks: DeepDownDirty Acid Vol 7. This VA voyages across an aural acid ocean on waves of breakbeat, drum and bass, tech house and peak-time techno (sometimes giving an glimpse into our hard-working producers' lives in the track titles; sometimes giving a producer the opportunity to create music in something other than their usual genre; and sometimes heralding the start of a shift to another section in this MONSTER of an acid album - there's even a nod in one of the titles to a well-loved sci-fi TV show which dedicates itself to the discovery of space) and dives into all types of squelchy 303-rippling action in between. Featuring music from seasoned producers alongside some creative debuts, DeepDownDirty Acid Vol 7, whilst more than a little crazy, is nonetheless a carefully assembled homage to the legendary sound of Roland's unexpected hero of a bass machine, the TB-303. WARNING: Not for the narrow of mind or faint of heart.

This EP marks the coming together of two of the most respected, influential titans in progressive House; Jamie Stevens and Guy J. Jamie is smoking hot off the back of a highly acclaimed, praised and loved debut album, select apppeareacnes live with names like Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J & Anthony pappa and a no.1 Ep on Bedrock. Guy J just delivered arguably one of the greatest Global Underground mixes yet as well as some of last years most talked about singles with several hitting Beatports top spots coupled with incredible shows reaching massive audiences and stages around the globe. The original mixes experiment with dark and light forces jostling with a beautiful yearning vocal. A musical piece that shows patience and restraint with trippy time signatures, bleeps, atmosphere, distinct breaks and dreamy vocals drawing you deeper and washing over you like a reassuring whisper from a loved one. Jamie has long operated in the space between club functionality and emotional depth, and here he leans heavy into that tension, never fully resolving, always pulling the listener forward. Tassolem’ gets a club-ready super highly anticipated remix by Guy J who delivers a masterpiece completely re-envisioning one of his favourite producers, very intentionally selecting a track with clear hallmarks of musical integrity and special ingredients. Guy takes a number of magical core elements from the original and layers subtle beautiful, shifting textures over deep melodics building steady momentum that is felt subtly as its story unravels rather than heard quickly. Melodic fragments shimmer beneath the surface, hinting at deep felt emotions without spelling it out until it washes over you in swathes and your arms uncontrollably raise up in appreciation; an understated anthem if you will. The groove remains hypnotic and unforced, progressive music in the truest sense: not about drops or drama, but about a real authentic journey. There’s a saying to always observe and enjoy the journey, not the pay-off which feels apt and a rule we should all pay more attention towards in life and sums up this release better than we can - enjoy!
