2Track
Electro Survival
Album
ABR009

With the success of the limited edition vinyl "twister EP" released in early 2008, Electro Survival is the debut album from the accomplished techno producer 2Track. A desirable collection of masterful audio effects, dark textures and pounding beats bringing you right back to the roots to electronica. Opening with the optimistic Boards of Canada inspired of "Shandyandy" with its dub style basslines, dreamy textures and heavy grooves, Electro Survival is an album of diverse emotions ranging from the emphatically warm to the demoniacally dark. Equally praised for its danceability as well as listening experience, Electro Survival is a brave exploration of forgotten genres, bringing back the quality of underground music to a new audience.

NuN's Chaostry

NuN’s Chaostry AKA Rafal Gladysz began producing Hip Hop music in Poland in 2003 for local crews under the guise of NuN.

Shoot em up ace
Single
ABRS017

Chokai returns after the experimental Glade Geita with "Shoot em up ace", a homage to the classic arcade shoot 'em up games from the 80's, paired with the suitably contrasting "space grooves". Thumping kicks, screaming leads, retro bleeps and arpeggios combine to create a truly jumping and unique house track bringing you back to the days of sweaty joysticks, blowing thirty quid in change, mesmerizing colours and high score boards. Space Grooves takes a more relaxed approach with its soothing sound textures, bouncy bass lines and disco shuffles.

Lemur is just one of the many musical outlets of Dublin composer Simon McCourt. Lemur is everything from downtempo, moody electronica to pumping trance, dub and soothing, melodic Drum 'n Bass.No matter what the style, all of Lemur's music has that odd quality of sounding curiously familiar yet refreshingly new. His electronic work is Influenced by the ilk of Thievery Corporation, Kruder & Dorfmeister and LTJ Bukem. But there is a musicality to these tunes that speaks to Simon's other wide range of influences, from Bill Evans to Jobim, from Dylan to Nick Drake. III is the Debut release under Simon's latest guise, Lemur.

From the psychedelic mind of US producer Steve Inselman comes Zorbtron, an interesting and wacky guise creating kooky, wobbly sounds in his latest EP "Numbers". From the intricately layered, filtered beats of "Colors of Polyphonic child" to the beautifully produced, Boards of Canada influenced "Xypa", "Numbers" is a delightful EP and a great listen. Filled to the brim with uplifting and weird melodies, flumpy beats and excellently executed moments of electronic genius. A personal favorite of ours for its true uniqueness, you cant miss its attractiveness.
