Time stands still for a while as we find ourselves meandering through the mind of Vid, joining Cadenza with his debut release on the label, Light At The End. Three extended storytellers, turning deep through the subtleties of Romanian minimalism. The title track begins the journey, leading through soft, rolling basslines and bright moments of ambience. Warm pads provide the cushion as subtle tinkering with the machines adds tightly tripped electronics. Melodies slowly unravelling, as growling textures circle below the whisper of a human voice. Notes getting longer, chords getting brighter. Moving into 'Pyschical', the energy bubbles through rough grooves and hazy textures, unease beneath the surface. Vocal fragments echo into mysterious notes, rhythm quietly holding the hypnosis. 'You See Them 2' closes this introspective piece with softer chills. A groaning narrative, lifted by intricate melodies and fuzzy analogue magic. These are the stories, told by Vid.

A man of many aliases, Romeo Ugalde channels decades of electronic exploration through differing musical personalities. Delator joins Cadenza with Ancient Rhythms. Three tracks diving deep into the intricacies of atmospheric minimal. Opening the release with 'Ancient Rhythms' brings an immediate eerie presence. Shadowy textures growl as deep grooves meet intricate melodies and a haunting narrative. Twisting through the darkness, down into the underground, held at the border with echoing pads. 'Time of Decay' comes from a collaboration with fellow Mexican artist Caba (MX), a polite dance of keys over a deep fuzz. Mildly unsettling yet deeply captivating. Delator closes out the selection with 'Midnight Bliss', a percussion-led groove that dances between hypnotic ambience, pulsating rhythms and a sultry mood. A meticulous selection from a purveyor of deep minimalism.

When Luciano and Charles Webster exchanged musical works for reinterpretation, each was invited into the world of the other. We are delighted to present Charles' remix of Luciano's 'The Golden Thread', a rework that merges minimalistic beats, soft tribal rhythms and melodic soundscapes. Patience is rewarded throughout a gently measured musical flow, as warm kicks are sprinkled with delicate percussion. Long synth notes stretch into shimmering symphonies, bursting with emotion as delicate keys dance beneath the blissful ambience, ever growing as the song is sung. Charles Webster responds to the spirit of the original with a thoughtful and detailed expression of his own, bringing together two great minds, deeply connected through the origins of electronic music. Reflective, tender and blooming with expression.

Gianluca Pegoiani joins Cadenza with The Row, a release that is equal parts driving, hypnotic and quietly unsettling. Pulsating rhythms emerge through fuzzy textures as ominous ambience bleeds into the groove. Curiosity guiding each twist and turn, as intricate melodies flicker back and forth in an otherworldly exchange. One world slowly melting into the next. The release moves into murkier waters, as the roots of minimalism take hold. Whispered fragments chattering between hard claps and blurred synths. Introspective sounds that ease the tension, before the darker shades of techno emerge to close. Industrial at its heart, The Row captures a consistent theme. Clanging mechanics that collide with a pummelling groove, a haunting presence never far away. A long time explorer of analogue, Pegoiani invites us deeper into his world, where mystery and momentum exist in perfect balance.
