On The Arboretum, Analogue Attic co-founder Alex Albrecht leans further into the dancefloor, channelling the more hypnotic and driving energy that Butter Sessions is known for. Across the five tracks, listeners are treated to Albrechts signature melody-driven deep house, bolstered by intricate rhythms, a deeper low end, and hypnotic loops designed for larger systems and later hours. The tracks are playful yet serious, functional yet full of personality. Theres the joy of long blends and the tiny details that bubble up in the mix: field recordings from time spent away, nostalgic archival material, and subtle harmonic shifts that keep the tension simmering. Its a record built for dancers, but also for home listening. By embracing a tougher, more energetic sound, this release expands Albrechts sonic world while staying true to the textural depth and sense of journey that run through all his work.credits
Pablo Sánchez´s new solo album Archipiélago is a 42 minute voyage sailing through uncharted waters. Every archipelago is a constellation of islands, distinct yet bound by invisible tides. Archipiélago, the latest work from Pablo Sánchez, follows this same geography of sound and memory. Its islands are not of sand and rock, but of places which inspired the artist throughout his life; Buenos Aires, Caracas, Puerto Rico, New York, Madrid, Berlin, and Barcelona. Each city has left a trace, a shoreline carved into Sánchezs musical journey and left a distinctive musical mark. The ten songs gathered here are like sovereign entities, each with its own character, its own rhythm, its own language. Together they form a single territory, a map drawn by musical experience, longing, and imagination. They are ports of call, but also fragments of a larger voyage, where tradition and experimentation, nostalgia and discovery, coexist to create a common territory. Along the way guest magicians Animal Feelings and Salomeya add their vocal sparks to the voyage. Archipiélago is not a destination but a map of crossings, a territory of sound where the journey itself becomes home.
Andy Ash is a long time contributor to the sound of Quintessentials, with his album All the colours being the highlight of his work. Until now! The Liverpudlian shows superb diversity on his new EP called Silent Planet. The opener, Patch 2 is a stripped down masterpiece of Dub Techno and a perfect club tool. Hross can be called Acid House, and you know we love that! The B-side shows more of a relaxed vibe with the beautiful string-laded Franco alley and the smooth low BPM track Yellow. This silent planet has something to say and shows great variety of styles and Andys skills as a producer - and yes, all AA releases have his own artwork!
